I am loving all of the Marvel movie figures. The sculpting has been superb, every figure is unique with lots of little details. Even figures that have been kinda lazy like the X-Men first class boxset and the X-Men Legends figures have been pretty good. I love the new Magneto and Stryfe. Can't wait for the second wave of Guardians of the Galaxy figures and the Annihilation boxset of the team.  |

Are they doing another GotG wave? I haven't heard anything about it.

At SDCC Hasbro announced a second wave, as well as a team boxset. They said that the sales were very good, and that Amazon had some of the highest preorders for the wave that they had ever seen. They were surprised that the #1 seller was the comic Nova Prime, and said that makes more comic figures much more likely in the future.

Nova was the one I wanted the most.  Well that's cool. I'm all over anything cosmic-related they decide to make.  |

Mmhmm! I'm crossing my fingers that Quasar will be in coming waves. Then, I would have the entire Annihilators team. I wouldn't mind some Cancerverse figures...but, I know that most likely won't happen. The Galactus Engine set was probably the only major cosmic thing we'll get not movie related. Also hoping we can get a movie Ronan. We're ridiculously short on movie villains.

I need to buy that Galactus Engine set, but it's so pricey. I definitely want Ronan, Nebula too. I want a movie Thanos as well, but they'll probably save that for the wave that comes with The Avengers 3. (We're crowding up this thread a bit, I'll just go make a Marvel Legends thread and move these posts there ) |

I stalked the website, until Hasbro put them up after SDCC and was able to order one. I feel so lucky, I've been able to get every SDCC exclusive since Hasbro relaunched Marvel Legends. But, you gotta make sure you catch them as soon as they get put up. I think the set was sold out after 20 minutes. Odd, since the Thunderbolts set was available for hours, practically the whole day. I know a few people attending in 2015, though. So, I might just see if they can grab the Mystic/Magic set next year.

The only Exclusive I have is Thor, unfortunately. I actually saw the Galactus Engine set while Hasbro had it on sale, I just didn't have the money for it at the time. |

SDCC is usually right around, or the week after my birthday. So, I usually have some birthday money or gift cards I can use for it. With more and more places offering preorders on waves, and Hasbro making case packouts include every single figure, this is the best time to collect Marvel Legends/Infinites. The only thing that is annoying, are the store exclusives. Specifically, Toys R Us exclusives. |

Yeah, the TRU Exclusives can be a bit of an issues. I still don't have any of the New X-Men Legends. I really only want Magneto and Strife... maybe Storm, but I've never cared much for the Mohawk look.
I want all of the upcoming Spider-Man wave, it looks great. I only want some of the Avengers wave, but I'm just gonna get them all for Thanos.

Thanos is only the second wave BAF. So, if you're not too thrilled with some of wave 1 you can skip them and not worry about building Thanos. The BAF for the first wave is Odin/All-Father Thor. I want to build both Odin and Thor...so, I'm gonna have to end up with doubles of some figures.  I wonder what the alternate BAF parts for Thanos will be? I think it's a safe bet that he'll have an Infinity Gauntlet alternate hand, but not sure what else they could do with him. I wish we could get him in has white robes, from when Death finally accepted him. I can't wait for the Spider-Man waves, though. That 2099 figure looks awesome, and the new body for Spider-Man looks nice. Hobgoblin is a cool figure, so I won't mind building him.  |

I want some stuff from the first one, Scarlet Witch, Machine Man, Sentry, & Hawkeye... I may as well just buy that whole wave too If Iron Fist was in his green outfit, I'd want him too... I guess I could just paint him |

You could try dying him green. If it was any other colour, I wouldn't suggest it. But, since it's white it will take the colour better and eliminate any joint problems paint causes.

That's also a possibility. I've read about dying figures, but I've never done it myself.

Oh, you might find this amusing. I've just "made" a box for my Ultimate GG  |
