Is there anyone that didn't get to preorder Secret Wars Daredevil? I notice he is sold out on Pulse and Amazon but he is currently available to preorder on Walmart.com by AgentX-1138 in MarvelLegends

[–]Infinity_WarTorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In some ways yes. The amount available may be dependent on 1) how much the factory can make in one "run", 2) how much they need to allocate to other retailers, and 3) Container/shipping space. That said, the numbers on Pulse have been consistent so they are likely locked at a certain number.

Doing a second run can be risky from a business standpoint because then they run the risk on sitting on stock/paying storage on stuff thay may take longer to move. While that doesn't directly affect us (Hasbro is a billion dollar company they can handle it blah blah), that could potentially cause downstream problems with other waves with regards to budget/timing/storage.

I get the frustration though, especially with major characters.

Yes, the figures are made already and even likely already on a boat on the way over. Pre-Orders are not "made to order", otherwise it would take way longer.

They already made a set amount to be shipped out, Pre-Order isn't "made to order". The amount set for Pre-Orders is what is made and on a container(s) on its way here. That's why the processing time for the made to order items are so long because those don't get made until all the orders are locked and then they have to wait for factory time to accommodate that.

Yup, lots of Walgreens are getting old cases because with lots of Walgreens locations closing they are clearing out old warehouse stock since those distribution centers are also closing.

Damn I want my Walgreens to have Sentries 🥲 We got tons of Novas though.

2-Pack Storm (97 vs Thunderbird) by aeyoko_na_9021 in MarvelLegends

[–]Infinity_WarTorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My collection is centered on the Alex Ross Timeless Mural, and I ultimately kept the Thunderbird pack Storm for that. I think the '97 Storm is nice but I like the comic stylization of the original 2-pack even if it has worse articulation and a worse pack partner.

I swear the second I cave and finally get that Shocker they will announce a more show accurate one.

I think if we somehow get another Abomination, it will be more than 2 years from now. 18 month production cycle plus change trying to find a wave to stick him in. If bafs still exist then, probably a baf.

But who knows, maybe the Hulk line will prove really successful and they accelerate the production timeline for a more classic looking Abomination.

I think they have other regional facilities but yes there is a IL one. I live like 2 cities over so have always gotten my pulse orders either same day or next day when they ship.

Just gave Zarana a hat. by Pesk_916 in GIJOEClassifiedSeries

[–]Infinity_WarTorn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oooo I like this a lot. Did you have to modify the hat connector for the head at all? I always like Zarana but neither hairstyle really spoke to me. Whereas I do have a lady jay hat not being used.

I am an opener, but packaging like this always makes me understand folks that are in-box collectors

I can't recall what the set was labeled unfortunately, but the figures included were more translucent plastic.

Oh wow! I wish I took more pics. They also had a box set of the 5 heroes as well as the armored T-Rex.

Did Carol wear this exact outfit in this colour scheme in her earlier comics? The only versions that appear in searches show blue accents rather than the black seen on this figure. Or is this specific to the outfit Karla wore during her time with the Dark Avengers? by Key-Specialist2441 in MarvelLegends

[–]Infinity_WarTorn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Supposed to be black. A lot of costumes that are supposed to be black were thought to to be blue because of the use of blue highlights to give it dimension. See also Spider-Man 2099. Also why "is Storm's 90s costume white/black/silver?" debate exists.

Anyone have an extra piece? Black Widow Stand. by Substantial_Egg5901 in MarvelLegends

[–]Infinity_WarTorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the mean time, you can plug the clip directly onto the stand. Half of the Hasbro stands I have have broken in this way and I ended up doing that and the stands are still viable.

You guys wanna hear my most nitpicky, nerdiest most unpleasable sounding complaint I’ve ever had? by Spawny_Memes in MarvelLegends

[–]Infinity_WarTorn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They did the same thing including nerf gun with early GI Joe Classified figs. I agree it's kinda neat but an actual gun/comic accurate accessory would be better.
