i'll find them where ever i can get them. I want the entire F4 wave, the Mary Jane from the spidy wave and from the ML3 wave marvel girl, cyclops, hydra soldier and maybe black knight.

 

so be it hasbrotoyshop, brick and mortar. I just wish toysrus would be good on getting them in or i'd grab them at work once the box gets in, but we never even got wave 2 in. I'll have to check out KB a bit, since they got wave 2 in pretty early.

 

has anyone had any experience with entertainment earth or any other website that preorders cases? i definently want to get every figure in Wave 4

 

I be gettin them from Mistah Sugah.

 

Y'know.........Mistah Sugah. He be sweet, the stuff he finds me, it be really neat!

i live in luxembourg and it is a hard time to get those in stores around here. i ordered my 2 waves at ebay. it is the simplest for me and the cheapest way to get them. my comic store will sell them in 2 or 3 months and that for 25 usdollars a piece. so ebay is my only option. i order a lot at cornerstorecomics via the net. those guys are great. never had any problem with them. so mostly online shops for me.

I'll get ML3 from HTS since I want multiple Hydra. Spidey is defintely wait till its in stores. FF is probably wait till i find it in stores, unless it seems i have to wait a long time to find them.

 

Icons i definitely order online. I want the Icons DD as soon as it comes out.

I've got wave 3 preordered from Cornerstorecomics.com. But in the future I may attempt to use HTS again. Those of you planning on getting your Hydra Soldiers from them better be checking the website every half hour or so if what happened with the FF wave was any indication.

i'll periodically be hitting the stores to find those exclusives, but as far as the full waves i am just ordering them thru the previews catalog with my normal comic subs. they seem to take so long to get here, and i am tired of being looked at suspiciously for leaving the stores empty handed again and again. and its not worth getting up early enough to beat the scalpers there and it usually takes 2 or 3 trips to get the whole wave of anything, its not worth it. besides i think i have a better chance of getting my hands on variants this way, the store i spend money on comics at is more likely to pull me variants as a favor than i am to come across them just on luck. and i would rather support a local comic shop than the freakin walmart.

 

my experience with online stores is never perfect, cornerstorecomics.com cancelled one of my orders within 5 minutes of placing it because they said, although they had the item for sale on the site, they don't actually have any. brianstoys.com sold me a wave 2 set with all the variants then switched out the green quicksilver for the blue before they shipped it. they also added my name onto someone elses invoice and i got a bill for someone elses order as well (they fixed it but were very rude about it). toysrus.com has had to cancel parts of my order before too cause they just didn't actually have one in stock as well (though they did give me an entire order for free after the second time they screwed me on something.). the only place i never really had a problem is hasbrotoyshop.com. but i would still rather give my business to a small comics shop than any of these big companies.

wave 3 is in the previews catalog that just came out. you can get cases of the whole wave, or just cases of 8 hydra soldiers.

Considering that my area seems to be the last to get everything, I will probably buy them from Hasbro's or Toys 'R' Us's website. Otherwise, I'd probably pick up them up over a long period from my local Target, Toys 'R' Us, K-Mart or (if all else fails...) Wal-Mart (blech). Even though I spend quite a bit on this plastic crack, I can never bring myself to buy more than one or two figures from the store at a time.

 

I used to buy just about everything off eBay, but it seems like there's not a whole lot of savings anymore. You really can't get packaged figures for more than $1 or $2 under the store price, and then the inflated shipping costs kill it. You really have to buy like 4 or 5 figures from one seller to make it cost-sensible. Or else, just wait several months until the product gluts the eBay market, like it did with the Annihilus series.

 

Hopefully, there'll still be some working Hasbro codes by the time they've stocked up.

I found SM3 and FF Legends at Wal-Mart. Probably where I will find others. They seem to get these in more than TRU and Target around here.

 

toysrus has been pretty bad with Marvel legends lately. the one i work at and all the ones in my area (tampa bay) haven't even gotten wave 2 in yet.

It's becoming increasingly frustrating trying to track down anything in stores, whether it's Marvel, Transformers, GIJoe, DC, etc. I think I'm going to start ordering cases online and chalk the extra I spend on shipping as money I saved on gas continually driving to multiple stores hoping to outsmart or outrace scalpers.
