My continued good fortune that started once I began posting in this thread has brought me a near complete collection today.We got ML11 in at work(Target) this morning ,so I am now the proud owner of ALMOST all the set.Another emplyee had already yanked the Hulkbuster fig before i could get to it.At any rate I am now in possession of an almost complete ML series 1-12 set.Minus a couple of variants here and there.The only regular fig I need is the Hulkbuster and the new Spidey boxset.Other than that I still need the Wonderman variant ,the variants from ML12 and the Stealth Iron Man from series 1.With any continued luck those will all be mine within the next couple of weeks.By the way I'm not trying to brag about my collection or anything,its just that up until about 2 weeks ago I did'nt think I was going to be able to get ANY more ML figures (at least from 10-12) due to a serious financial matter.Thankfully that got cleared up without any fuss and i am able to get back on track.So its not "bragging" really as much as breathing a sigh of relief...lol......I'm sure you longtime collectors know where i am coming from on that.Anyway,if anyone needs anything from 10 or 11 let me know and I'll keep an eye out for them at work.Plus my gf works there too,so even when I'm not there I keep up on what they get in.I will say though that Target does'nt seem to get the ML figures in too regularly.They do get the SMC figures in more frequently,but the latest set with Venom and Man-Wolf has yet to show up at all.

Well, I stumbled upon all the people from ML11 that I want at Toys R Us today minus Scarlett Witch. I picked up Wonderman, Ultron and Taskmaster. I wasn't originally going to pick up Taskmaster but he just looked so damn cool I had to have him. On the flip side though, Ultron sucks so much ass it is unbelieveable. He can't stand on his own because of his stupid claw feet and he is really top heavy. Wonderman is a pretty good figure minus the fact that he is a tad too small. I like that he comes with the Wondercycle and Yellowjacket.
Still glad I bought them all, even Ultron. My Avengers needed a bad guy and I needed Wonderman to add to my Avengers. Taskmaster just looked cool, and I doubt that I will see him again.

I had a Target gift card to blow, so I headed over there today. I found all of ML 11 minus Wanda, and even multiples of Taskmaster and HB IM. I almost passed on Ultron, but since he wasn't going to cost me anything anyway, I got him.

Still no surfer, but he gave me a refund of most of my money, and claims to still be sending it... so we'll see.

Finally picked up the Fearsome Foes set today.I got it at a reduced price because the box was not in mint shape.It has indentions in the top left backside corner of the box.They took 5.00 off the price so I'm not complaining about it.Also picked up Hulkbuster I.M. at TRU today.Thankfully a freind of mine who worked there had put one back for me.So now I'm down to just getting the Wonderman variant and all of ML12 variants.At least the main set is done though.On a side note,I picked up a Silver Surfer from a local comic shop this morning (I already have one MOC but I always wanted one to open and this guy had it priced at 5.00 so I grabbed it) anyway I get it home and find he has no magnets in his feet whatsoever......So needless to say posing him on the board is out of the question.It was an MOC item ,so i am guessing its a factory error of some kind.I'm thinkin of just making him into a Spawn custom.

Ultron blows, honestly, half of his joints are worthless, he is top heavy and can't stand worth a damn. I still needed him to round out my Avengers though and he does have some nice points like the sculpt isn't all bad and I have seemingly found the sweet spot to keep him standing.
I think my father got me all of ML12 for Christmas, which is awesome.

Wizard are saying that Luke Cage will be in his funky 70's get up... and not his street thug gear like New Avengers.

Went to Wal-Mart today, and was searching through the scraps of the Spideys ( ALL MARVEL LEGENDS ARE GONE!) But I was able to snatch a MAN-WOLF!
He is an awesome fig of an odd character, except his head is always pointing down. So he is standing, while always looking at the ground. Odd, but I still love the fig.

A local stationary type store called "Rainbow" had the weirdest selection of Marvel figures today... they had an x-men classics gambit, a lot of spider-man classics.... rhino, mysterio, and a bunch of spideys, and in terms of legends, they had 4 mister sinisters... it was bizarre.
Not too interested in sinister yet, as his price tag was 11.99... I may return and get him if I need him.

What's with stationary stores in your area having ML? If I knew of any here, I might check myself.

I actually like Wonderman. Not as much as Tasky, but I still like him.

I picked up ML11 Logan today. Mostly just to have it, it's not the best figure in the world, but it's a new figure none the less.

I just can't justify paying for that Logan figure. By far one of the worst, and most unnecessary figures they have released so far.

I don't think it's as bad as everyone else says it is, it looks fine for what it is: An old wheathered Logan from the Days of the Future Past storyline. It's not perfect, but it's fun. Now if he came with a sizzling adamantium skeleton, than he may have been bumped up a notch or too....

He's not quite as nice as ML1 Iron Man though.

I've bumped into Logan a couple times in the last few days. I still don't want it, since I have better versions of the character, and that figures uses the old XMC sculpt. I did buy Ultron on an impulse, and he's okay.

Well, I just flat out don't want ML11 Logan. I plan on buying the Weapon X logan eventually, and I have ML3, and have ML6 in transit to me... other than that, I can do without any more Wolverines....
I didn't even want ML3, trw just gave me a price I couldn't refuse.
I still have memories of my old toybiz wolvie with the removable mask and retractable claws... that was probably my favorite action figure ever.
