Kind of dovetailing off my previous question, do you guys by figures solely for the accessories and if so do you do it often? Any specific examples?

Personally, it goes back to the WWE figures, there was that create-a-superstar line in which the figures themselves were kind of “meh” but the accessories they came with were amazing.

Hey guys,

I enjoyed your input on my question, and don’t worry I did not take it as anyone attacking me, but as I was listening to your responses I realized the way I worded the question lead you guys down the wrong path.

 I do not intend to stop being a completionist for the Marvel Legends line, instead I was asking about the distribution of the multiple lines at once.  

 While I agree with you that the variety of characters Hasbro is giving us is one of the best things about the line, I am wondering that with distribution already making difficult to always find the new legends coming out and sending people to websites like Entertainment Earth to buy cases for the same price since they offer free shipping to avoid running around from store to store. If this drives people to order from these websites or stop collecting could this result in stores like Walmart to carry less legends.  I think that if Hasbro was smart they should look at getting a better hold on their distribution and release 9 waves a year. If they can control it where you get 1 wave a month and even out store exclusives to about the same, and don’t release a wave in July giving collectors that month for the SDCC exclusives and don’t release a wave in November and December to allow collectors to catch up at then end of the year or play catch up with gift giving and receiving for the Holidays, then they will not overload their customers and may sell more if everything is nicely spread out.

Buying 7 legends a month at $140 is a lot easier on the wallet then someone 21 new legends at $440 in one month and then try to catch up on life, and I do know collectors that work that way.

Just my thought, thanks for answering my questions, love the show, and keep up the great work.

Long time fan of the show and one of the rare Marvel Legends collectors who is a completist. The first thing I wanted to bring up was when you were talking about some of the SDCC Marvel Legends teasers you brought up the “green lantern” looking thing and were guessing what it could be, but you never mentioned the Arnim Zola from secret wars, look at the top of the suit.  

Next I have a question I would love to hear all of your opinions on. There have been numerous issues that collectors have had with the Hasbro Marvel Legends line since they got the license. Everything from figure quality and quality control of the figures, to poor distribution, to re releasing older more valuable figures which kill their secondary market value, to the escalating prices( especially with the prices for the 10th anniversary figures coming out now) and none have these issues have really turned collectors off of the line.

But with the news that 2019 is supposed to be the biggest year for marvel legends, which is insane considering how many waves, exclusives, 10th anniversary line, and convention exclusives released so closely together, do you think if Hasbro continues to bombard the market with 8 plus waves a year and store exclusives and 2 packs will we start to see collectors move away from the legends line simply because they are unable to keep up with all the releases.

Thanks for taking the time to read my email and will be listening for a answer.

How often do you guys buy figures solely based on the look or design of that particular toy and not based on the property that the figure is part of or fiction it’s based on?

Personally that’s how I’ve been buying WWE figures over the last few years. Most of the figures I’ve bought recently I don’t have a clue who the wrestler is, I just really like the look of the figure.
