Hasbro Marvel Legends Nemesis Wave

Looks like a Canadian store got these in. http://thefwoosh.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=96&t=56985

Anyone getting these?

I'm really tempted to buy the red Daredevil but it's a bit too expensive and I have to add shipping on top of that... I might wait to see if anyone's willing to part with the DD loose instead since I don't buy BAFs generally.

They're getting them from Everest. Funny how we're getting these before the US. They even have Walmart exclusive stickers on them.

Re: Hasbro Marvel Legends Nemesis Wave

Yeah it's kind of weird, but will these even show up in mass retail? All I see are those endless Emma Frosts, Banshees, Hercules and Beasts from Annihilus Wave at TRU/Wal-Mart/Zellers. Some less shelf-warming figures I found at the new Wal-Mart are: Colossus, Ultimate Iron Man, Planet Hulk, Black Knight, Bucky, Captain America (FA) from the same wave or Brood Queen.

Other than that I wonder if we'll even get the Red Hulk or Ares wave ever due to the 3.75" figures.

FFF came out briefly at Zellers but I think it didn't even have all the figures to build him.

Re: Hasbro Marvel Legends Nemesis Wave

Funny, over at Fwoosh it seems like some posters are still trying to come to terms with the fact that we got these first. Icetron I posted the same link there. Funny thing was I walked into my LCS and saw the empty HML case. I looked at the manager and said "where are they" as I scanned the pegs. He says "you're cold" . He kept the whole display under the counter knowing either I or another guy who was waiting for them would be there. What I wasn't expecting was the Nemesis wave (I thought it would be Rulk).

I dunno....I think the only one I see myself getting would be the two Punishers but I have a feeling the camo version will be a bitch to find.

Yeah I know, it seems a bit crazy over there for this kind of thing. I guess we're calm since aside from comic/hobby stores our mass retail places don't stock MLs anymore, so having them 'first' in some way or another is kind of refreshing for once.

I mean if people in the US would complain about $12-13 TF deluxes I think it's not that uncommon to see a big fuss over Canadian comic stores getting Nemesis Wave first. However people have been waiting since 2007 for these so it's somewhat understandable I guess.

I just really want the red Daredevil so hopefully someone doesn't want it when they get their set.
