Grats... that build-a-figure sentinel is one of the coolest they ever made.
That figure and that setup is the shit! I need that in my collection.

Legends are alright but Marvel Universe was where it was at for me.
Wasp in the Infinite line is probably my favorite Marvel figure.

I have a few, but they're too small for my liking. However, they do have a huge variety of characters, which is cool
I've been preemptively picking up series for my son, he's 3 and a half.
I ebayed the Apocalypse series and those are all sitting in a closet ready to be used as rewards. I also ebayed just the Galactus build a figure
I've already given him the Iron Man 3 series to build Ironmonger.
I'm currently picking off the Guardians of the Galaxy series on Amazon. The prices really go up and down. The Iron Man and Nova are both really cheap right now.

Good time for it. Rocket and Nova were super hard to find for what felt like months. Now you can get both at reasonable prices.
And that Groot Build-a-fig is so worth having
Thor looks so grumpy.Scarlet Witch figure is looking really good. Love the magic symbols.

I like them and still collect them.
For me, 1/12th is an excellent scale for figures. They are big enough to get some nice detail and posability without taking up tons of space or breaking your bank account, so you can collect more characters that way.
Here is the next Marvel Legends series, currently for pre-order. They are hitting market in late Jan/early Feb.
It's true, however the last several waves have been a big improvement. They are the best Hasbro has ever done.
That Machine man is nice, such a forgotten hero.

I used to have a huge collection of these. Ended up selling the lot for around 600 bucks and bought a PS3 with the money.
I'll have to find pictures of my collection. I loved them at the time, but I don't regret parting ways with them.

Just ordered Superior Spidey off Amazon. Such a good price.
I don't think I've ever seen a non-grumpy comics Thor figure.
MWAHAHA!Subbed to this thread.
You fuckers may have just kick-started a very expensive hobby

already bought Marvel Now Captain America, Avengers movie Hulk, some Iron-Man I found for cheap without box so not sure which Iron-Man is that (lol).
really looking for a good HawkEye, Widow, and Thor. living in Indonesia, it's hard to find these once you pass the sell date.
I also had GoTG movie StarLord and Winter Soldier (movie version) which looks awesome.
oh and superior spider-man, which is probably my favorite for how fun and posable it is.

If you want their movie versions, it's best to wait until the Age of Ultron wave starts being sold. If not, comics Hawkeye and Thor are in the Odin wave.already bought Marvel Now Captain America, Avengers movie Hulk, some Iron-Man I found for cheap without box so not sure which Iron-Man is that (lol).

my collection so far

Sweet! Those are the exact same three I have. I wish I had Giant Man, though. I really wanted him back in the day but I seem to remember some of those figures being very elusive.

Not Legends, but I want 80s Wolverine:
I had the Secret Wars one when I was a kid (among others):
lol look at it
The Secret Wars figures were cooler than the ones in OP.
I was already out by the time they did him. Those figures were so awesome back then though! I should probably sell the big guys at some point, they fetch a pretty penny it seems.

I've always found their sculpting to be off and kinda inconsistent; but you get what you pay for. I'm also not a big fan of all these pricing increases on figures. I'm looking at 4" figures with awful detail at toys store and they're like $12-15 a pop. What the hell?
But I'm more of a Hot Toys kinda guy.
Get hyped for the upcoming Age of Ultron and remainder of the Guardians of Galaxy releases.
Prep your bank accounts and weep with me.

I recall picking up the full Spider-Man Classics run (including the rare Scarlet Spider & Spider-Man 2099 variants!) and the blue Iron Man variant from the main line back when I was in college. 
I've sold most of them in recent years (they were still on card so I made a nice profit on most of em!), but I still have a loose Nightcrawler, Spider-Man 2099, Spider-Man, and Black Suit Spider-Man tucked away somewhere.

I started collecting these when the first wave came out and I would buy every single figure afterwards.
I think I got to the first couple hasbro waves before i couldn't justify buying them anymore and sold my collection.
I loved collecting but I moved too often and had just bags and bags of unopened action figures travelling around with me.

I'm so glad I'm going to be able to skip most of those. I only NEED Cap and I already have the Winter Soldier version on the way. I do want Commando and Battle Damaged Robocop though :-/

I might need Hot Toys Vision. Hm... If I could resist Star-Lord, I can resist him haha.
I just need Rocket and Gamora now, they're at $22 and $17 respectively on Amazon. Iron man is less that $8 right now.

I always find it interesting how people say they can't afford Hot Toys. You can pre-order them months in advance through Sideshow and just put them on a payment plan. I always end up just putting everything on a payment plan and usually pay about $50-$75 a month. That's the same price as a couple of small figures a month. The reward system is amazing as well. Got $300 in reward points so far

That's how I can justify spending a premium on SH Figuarts etc. Sure they're expensive but the quality is so much better that it's worth it.
There's also way cheaper ways to get the Hot Toys than ordering from Sideshow's site. I bought all the Avengers ones from http://www.cornerstorecomics.com and they were each 15-30 bucks cheaper than on Sideshow's site. You're able to pre-order as well and I got them the same day they were released.
The Super Hero Mashers Deadpool figure is great- he's not quite as articulated as a Legends figure, and the sculpt is more cartoony, but I think it works well enough for Deadpool, and it's the only way you can add one to a 6" display without paying a small fortune of a premium. If scale isn't a huge concern, the Select Pool is still available at a lot of places for around retail, he just stands an inch taller than everyone else in a Legends display.
The best Wolverine is the one released for The Wolverine as part of the Marvel Legends line that was exclusive to comic shops and online stores- if you watch them on Amazon, the price fluctuates enough that it goes from grossly overpriced to around retail. They also did an unmasked rerelease as part of the TRU exclusive Days of Future Past wave, but those are really hard to find, and I think the unmasked head looks way worse.
I love SHF, and I've heard good things about Figma Iron Man. I only have four Revoltech figures -- the Ninja Turtles from last year. I don't have any experience with thier Marvel/DC figures.
Anyway point is Japan is a strong force in the figure world right now and I'm happy they are starting to do more western characters like from DC & Marvel.
I'll be getting all of the SHF Marvel figures, I know that much.
I also ordered the SHF Darth Vader and Storm Trooper. (Yeah, I'm into 6" Star Wars as well, starting with Hasbro's 6" Black Series figures)

this is true. The payment plans and reward points are what keep me coming back to sideshow though. I just have an easier time paying 50 bucks a month for something than dropping 250 all at one

Hot Toys is like crack, after you buy one you just can't stop. I think I've bought 14 in the past 2 years now

At one time I had a complete Marvel Legends collection, the only ones I were missing were the prototypes. I since sold a majority of my figures, only keeping a handful of the best ones (face off cap,juggernaut, etc.). Awesome prices and an insane amount of articulation for the time.
Great line,probably the best toy line of all time.

This is why I've resisted buying one. Once I buy something that is part of a collection or series I must buy them all!
Edit: Look at this. This is just for Age of Ultron!

A feeling only us toy collectors understand. I think I'm up to collecting Hot Toys, Marvel Legends, BTAS figures, NECA Predator and Alien, Star Wars Black series, and WWE Elite figures. Someone please just kill me before I go bankrupt
subtract WWE figures and add LEGO and you have me
(Hot Toys collectors don't know shit about bankruptcy, wait till you get into LEGO!)

Damn, that's a lot of figures. I just have Star Wars (3 3/4 inch figures for now) and Marvel Legends collections going. I was going to collect BTAS, but I'm limiting myself to getting Joker. Terminator NECA is something I'm trying to track down at the moment. I'm too far down this rabbit hole to escape, man. I think the Hot Toys are next.
LEGO is something that I know will definitely lead me to bankruptcy if I get into it.subtract WWE figures and add LEGO and you have me

That reminds me that I need to ask my brother to pick these up. I am still salty that NECA couldn't continue their mirage figures (apparently Playmates kind of screwed them over). I know they probably couldn't have done more than two or three more waves, but I would have loved to have gotten the Foot clan, Casey Jones and Splinter.
