Marvel Legends discussion

You braved the theatre. Good for you.

There are two specific unmasked Spider-Man figures from NWH (potentially) that would make me want to buy MCU MLs again. So far I haven't gotten anything from Phase 4, but damn..

It flies off instantly. I only ever saw the Black-Gold Spidey, and Integrated Suit, and grabbed them both immediately. I've yet to find a single Upgraded Suit Spidey at Wal-Mart.

Rumor is they've teased a Peter/Ned two-pack.

And other secret NWH two-packs to be revealed.

Hopefully we get a Uncle Ben vs. Dennis Carradine 2 pack

I can't wait to see the reactions online in the US when they finally hit $30 a figure.

It was posted on another thread already but TRU in store today had multiple waves of Marvel Legends priced at $36.99, one of them being the No Way Home wave. The also had many GI Classified Cobra Island Classified Exclusives priced at $36.99 as well when they had been $33.99 just days ago.

Bonkers! I am trying to decide if my limit has been reached.

Yeah I think my limit has been reached at that price. Especially for general release items. I probably will cave on specific items/characters I really want, but everything else is an even easier pass now.



It is crazy to think at $37 a 20% sale only brings them down to $29.60 (so basically $30). That is just getting too rich for my blood. But again, I'll probably cave on specific wants. Definitely won't be building any BAFs going forward.

Aside from the 90-day return policy for R Club members, I see no reason to buy at Toys R Us.

Their prices have been above MSRP for a while now, it's basically impossible to pre-order anything, and they don't even price match anymore.

Unless they're having a particularly good sale (low enough to beat the Edge discount at GameStop), or it's an exclusive, I'm done with TRU, and have been for a while.

There are many better options.

Considering how much Gamestop is bleeding I'd be careful about them too.

It's a tough pill to swallow but at this point if you can see the writing on the wall we might only have Walmart as an option pretty soon.

We should do our best to support TRU because it's a Canadian owned business. If we lose Gamestop and TRU the complaining on here will reach maximum levels. It'll be too late by then.

It's a tough place to be in.

GameStop is doing well, financially.

And since TRU was acquired recently by a company specializing in retail, rather than a private equity firm that would chop it up and sell off the parts, I don't see much risk of them collapsing. Besides, they sell a lot more than just 6 inch action figures.

Hmmm I'm not sure how a net loss of 105.4 million dollars vs. 18.8 million a year ago is a good thing ?

While sales are growing i'm not sure if you missed it but that report shows it's net losses are growing. I still maintain it is a bleeding company. It's borrowing alot of money right now too and at not so friendly interest rates.

While I also agree I don't see TRU shutting down anytime soon, the fact they are raising prices above MSRP besides 6in action figures (it's not just those) shows something is going on. We haven't heard much from the company since the acquisition nor their direction which I may have missed but seems weird.

I don't have a good feeling about them at this time and silence usually means something painful for the company might be coming.

The sale on paper looked good and I'm glad they were saved when the parent company folded...point is they need to survive and we should do our best to support Canadian and provide competition for the market. Cause we don't want Walmart being the sole spot...
