Hasbro Wolverine Legends Cases Up For Pre-Order at Entertainment Earth and BigBadToyStore

Wolverine 6-Inch Legends

Entertainment Earth and BigBadToyStore have put up pre-orders for cases of the Marvel Legends series for Wolverine, but there’s still a fair amount of ambiguity. While the cases are said to have Wolverine, Cyclops, Emma Frost and Sabretooth, there are no case pack-outs yet, and no mention of the variants: Wolverine in his X-Force costume, Cyclops in his Phoenix Force costume, and Rogue in place of Emma. We saw the Wolverine Legends variants at Toy Fair.

BBTS has Wolverine Legends cases listed at $159.99, and Entertainment Earth has them at $179.99 – but that includes free shipping. They are listed as arriving in October.

Marvel Legends Headlines Hasbro’s 2013 San Diego Comic-Con Exclusives Reveals – USAToday.com

Hasbro SDCC 2013 Exclusives

Hasbro has revealed a bunch more exclusives for San Diego Comic-Con through USAToday.com. The announcement covers exclusives for the major boys’ toys brands, including Marvel and the third (and final) G.I. JOE / Transformers crossover. And keeping with recent years, Hasbro has acknowledged that SDCC isn’t just for boys anymore, with exclusives from My Little Pony and Jem. Both had exclusives at San Diego in 2012, too.

These join the Star Wars Black Series Boba Fett with Han Solo in carbonite exclusive. While I can’t wait to get my hands on these, I can already picture the long lines at the Con.

Border Patrol: Boba Fett Helmet, Marty McFly Head Sculpt, and Marvel Legends Rescue from Iron Man

I usually post Border Patrol on Tuesdays, but am a little behind schedule. Luckily, the auctions I had spotted are still available – this week I found a trio of customs that range from life-size to 1/12 scale.

Star Wars Black Series Wave One Pre-Orders Up at Entertainment Earth and BigBadToyStore

Star Wars Black Series 6-Inch Action Figures Wave 1 CaseWith San Diego Comic-Con right around the corner, Star Wars Black Series is here – well, not quite, but the pre-orders for wave one of the 6-inch Star Wars line from Hasbro are up. You can reserve your set of Star Wars Black Series Series 1 at Entertainment Earth and BigBadToyStore, who’ve both put up their pre-order pages in the past couple days.

Case packouts are even, with one of each figure: Luke Skywalker (Rebel Pilot), Darth Maul (not pictured), R2-D2, and Sandtrooper. Oddly enough, I wonder if that means the trooper will be the hardest to find, if you believe many people will want to army build.

I think I’m all in for this line, so pre-ordering a case makes sense to me, even if it means an agonizing wait if they show up on retail shelves first. Who’s in?
