Maybe I read that rumor somewhere and took it as fact for some reason. I'm fine with it, I just don't live conveniently close to one. I do work near one, but it's an odd city Walgreens store that carries zero toys.

Heads up, the Marvel Legends Avengers wave are being put on Amazon for $22 each. Seems like quantities are consistent but hurry if you want them.

Yeah I was surprised about that, went into my local comic shop tonight and he told me he just got the option to order that wave this month so he's thinking March on delivery. Didn't realize Big Box got that much of a head start.

Unless it's a shared exclusive (X-Men wave) Diamond is usually two months behind. While they may ship early they are scheduled to April through Diamond. And for reference, they just got their GOTG cases last month.

I marked myself down for a case but I doubt I'll carry them in the store.

I'm struggling to understand the thought process behind some of these figures. My son loves the Marvel Mashers line (ok so do I) but it's hard to find a complete list of what's available - even the Hasbro site is missing many that I can see on other sites.

My son really likes Colossus, but for some stupid reason they only seem to be releasing his head, as part of a set with Juggernaut? And the Juggernaut looks hilariously bad, with his helmet eyebrows: http://www.hasbro.com/heromashers/en_CA/shop/details.cfm?R=F59CE961-5056-9047-F597-FAA2D13FDC57:en_CA

Is there somewhere to find announcements on what figures they plan next? They have a million different versions of Iron Man, which kinda makes sense, but also some I hadn't heard of like A Bomb, and yet they're missing more common characters like the X-Men or any super chicks.

It looks like there are other parts to Colossus in that Juggernaut set though? (The silver pieces?) Maybe they're doing a Build-a-Figure type of thing where you have to get a bunch of figs?

I also thought that was the case, which would have made sense since they are doing that with the Transformers mashers, but not for the marvel figures for some dumb reason. It's just his head and one hand. The other silver pieces look like arms but they are weird useless pistol things.

Happy birthday son! Here's the decapitated head of your favorite hero.

They've done the same with other new sets where you get the head and hand for Sabertooth and Beta Ray Bill. It's just so half-assed.

Its just slightly smaller than Hulk, and it comes with a kickass, light up chair. Its on point, price wise. Now, I am afraid of what Hulkbuster will cost. The loving thing will probably be 800 bucks.

It is also half the size of the $300 Iron giant figure, isn't limited edition, and doesn't even come with an infinity gauntlet.

The gauntlet doesn't exist yet, of course it doesn't come with it.

That's an easter egg. A joke lobbed into the movie by the set guys. There's also a ton of other poo poo in the trophy room. I would not imagine that you can consider that to be even remotely canon.

The final piece will probably resemble it, because Thanos has a giant hand and the sneak peek we saw online during the announcements had it looking pretty cool.

Also, the gauntlet changes hands depending on who draws it. There's no correct "it's only left" or "it's only right" hand for it.

If you like Mondo's Iron Giant figure but are unable to come up with the $300 for it now, it's also being sold through Sideshow with payment plan.

Also available (through Mondo and Sideshow) is the Iron Giant bolt for a much more reasonable $65.

So I got the three pack today. They also had another 3 pack, but instead of Ms Marvel in it, it had Madame Masque. Was this a variant, or did someone just switch out Ms Marvel and bring it back?
