Re: Marvel Legends discussion

We're getting an unmasked Tobey and Doc Ock with the bendy wires.

That's about it.

Honestly, some of the Toybiz figures from the first film, including GG on the Glider with the emerald paint, hold up really well.

Re: Marvel Legends discussion

Yea I had that GG Toybiz with glider but sold it a while back way before it was worth what it is now so I was hoping for something newer and better since I'm not wanting to pay what they want on the aftermarket. Oh well I guess I'll look into that 3rd party GG that's been floating around.

Sorry, but this is not true. There has been well-documented research about all the things that were done wrong.

I've heard first-hand reports. I worked with somebody who was involved with logistics at Target. It was a mess, they couldn't even get product into stores.

A weak dollar and unrealistic consumer expectations were a factor. But there was a TON of managerial incompetence, particularly on the US corporate side.

100% agree with your analysis but we should probably stop the Target conversation. It tends to get out of control.

I have a friend who worked at Target Canada and was around for when they went under. What you've wrote is pretty much what she told me, but I'd also add that apparently the Canadian corporate side was also a mess.

Re: Marvel Legends discussion

looks like the Green Goblin deluxe figure may be officially revealed today - possibly. Dan tweeted a GIF of movie Norman with the caption about Mondays.

Re: Marvel Legends discussion

Some stuff that was Pulse exclusive has been made available, including the Drax & Moondragon set.

We put a couple of things up for PO if it works out cheaper for you.

Re: Marvel Legends discussion

I'm hoping we are getting a proper wave of No Way Home Marvel Legends.
MCU really ruined Spider-man but at least half of NWH was good and brought back Garfield and Mcguire as Peter 1 and Peter 2. Or whatever number it was
