With the inception of Hasbro buying the rights it s has been a big disappointment.
A few points of interest:
1.) The figures went up about $3.00 too $4.00 in some areas.
2.) The comic is gone. If ever should come back the price will come up again.
3.) Terrible choices in build-a-figure parts and characters. Specifically the size factor the first tow figures from wave one and two are just regular size legends figures from the old line-up.
4.) Distribution...Worthless! I never seen anything at retail. I scored some on hasbrotoyshop web-site but that place is a worthless on-line store.
5.) Size - the figures have shrunk in size and value.
Okay that pretty much covers it on my part.
'nuff said.
Enjoy your collectin...
Distribution sounds like it sucks in your area but Hasbro ML are a ton easier to find than the Toybiz ones were. I never saw all of waves 6-8. Thats 3 waves. I never saw the Giant man WM wave aside WeaponX and Sabretooth. Some of the sculpting on the Toybiz figures wasn't that great. No one misses the huge shoulder ball joints on their Daredevils. Some joints were loose, and some were STUCK WHICH I SERIOUSLY HATED BECAUSE IT LEAD TO BREAKAGE AND GOD I HATE BREAKAGE! Seriously shouldn't happen at all.
Toybiz BAF's were getting smaller by the last waves. They even said that they were not going to continue with packing in comics if they still had the license, and they even pondered it when they had the license towards the end. Not sure if I read that on Fwoosh or not.
Hasbro got a lot of flak on the first 2 waves, without people realizing some of those were sculpted by Toybiz.
