EB Games has been bringing in the Walgreens exclusive Marvel Legends... they didn't bring Brainstorm but that was right around the start of when they were bringing in the exclusives... maybe they will stock it?

Here is to hoping that some Canadian retailer grabs these.

Between this being an exclusive and suffering from the Last Wave of a Series curse... these are going to be hard to find

walgreens.com still has Brainstorm readily available. This set could pegwarm just like Brainstorm especially when the two other "twins" are in separate exclusive boxsets. The completists may just give up =p

hope they become available online before October when I go to US. Buy couple, get shipped to my friend's place, then bring them home to Canada.

I hope it shows up here as well but if it doesn't then I'll order it from their website and ship it to my sister's house or one of my nieces' houses in the U.S. like I did with TR Brainstorm...a few times.

So does BBTS.

If you really want the twins, pre-order it from the retailer of your choice as soon as it comes up.

I'll be selling Cloudraker anyway.

Re: Well this sucks!!!!

This kind of makes me sick actually. I am SO done with this "exclusive" nonsense. NOTHING is special about that label anymore, just frustrating. The Hasbro TF brand manager needs to be immediately fired and replaced ASAP for making one bad decision after another. EB won't likely bring them in. In fact, let's use Brainstorm as an example. He had no international distribution, yet peg warmed, and still does, in Walgreens? Inexcusable lost sales potential. Had he been released internationally, undoubtedly, sales would be better. Yes, you can order him, way over priced of course. All I am seeing is Hasbro pissing straight in the face of any fan outside the US since they are going back to the Walgreens well again. Instead, we get the lost profits as insane TLK price hikes on crap most of us don't even want. I WAS excited for this set and think both clone sets should have ALWAYS and ONLY been done as 2 packs. I will naturally look for a way to nab these but I am utterly disgusted yet again with the inept business practices I am seeing. I like Fastlane, wayyyyyyyy over simplified, but nice. I sure as hell won't overpay for these. Oh, and they are labeled legends...which I and many others said they were all along, unique size class my butt.....Huff! Now, with that rant done - I really want these and hope they actually happen here.

Sometimes the last wave curse can be a gift...
If Winners picks them up!
