I would definitely pick up another War Machine or Apocalypse at that price. Also wouldn'tind a Warpath st that price.
I've noticed this trend at a lot of Walmarts in the Greater Toronto Area; I'm finding less and less Marvel Legends for sale. Maybe the store managers are fed up with the BAF parts swapping and don't want to stock them any more?

I think general store managers probably don’t see or know much about part swapping stuff considering how often we see them back on shelves overall.

I think the more obvious answer is that they weren’t selling well so they stopped stocking them.

That’s part of it. Store Managers don’t really dictate what they carry, it’s buyers on a corporate level. They may also allocate whether a store that underperforms gets new product.

Re: Marvel Legends discussion

I don't know - my local Walmart hasn't carried Legends in years. I suspect the toy section manager has some input there.

A little, but Department Managers are figureheads. They set the mods to corporate standards, work through price changes and basically beg for clearance money for things they want to get rid of, like non-mod stuff.

No down-payment and free Prime shipping. Worst case scenario, you get what you pay for.

Re: Marvel Legends discussion

Yes just don't rely on them as your sole source of ordering them is all. Amazon preorders make great backup of backups order
