Marvel Legends Preorders - When and Where

I know they split up Black Bolt and Medusa to sell more two-packs (knowing a lot of folks would only want the new characters) but they would've gotten me for all four if they'd paired the king and queen together instead. I don't hate the previous versions but both (Medusa especially) are super dated and worth an upgrade.
 
I didn’t really have any affinity for Maximus until the War of Kings story. But even after that, I don’t feel a burning need to have him.

Did y'all watch Robo's most recent video, where he mentioned that some fans just wanted Black Bolt and Medusa in a two-pack? Did any of you feel that way?

I ask because I only want Gorgon and Triton myself, but if there are folks out there that want the other two, I'll just order the sets and (hopefully) sell off the two repeat figures.

I'm kinda in this boat. I've never been big on the Inhumans, but both Medusa and Black Bolt have popped up in enough stories on their own that I'd probably get them for other displays. Medusa, in particular, I could put into a few different spots, even a Spider-Man display.
 
I'm honestly more jazzed to display the Inhumans together than any X-Team (well, except for maybe the classic Giant-Size/70s group). Not that I'm a fan of the Inhumans over X-Men, but I've seen hundreds of displays of the Blue/Gold squads - it will be nice to see a different group of colorful weirdos on shelves (both mine and others').

Plus, it’s always awesome seeing all those Kirby designs displayed together. That’s yet another reason I’m so hopeful for more classic Eternals.

If Hasbro follows a similar pattern as they did with the Inhumans then Ikaris and Sersi will be the only Eternals we get for a loooong time, then bam! A full set of beautifully executed Eternals figure in 2037.
 
While the Black Bolt / Medusa figures are certainly upgrades on what came before, if they had packaged those 2 together then I would have likely skipped it. Getting Gorgon and Triton for the first time in the line is the draw for me. I already have multiple figures for both Black Bolt and Medusa and likely would have skipped them if they didn't come with the figures that I REALLY want (Gorgon and Triton). Putting a previously unmade character in a 2-pack is the most likely way to get me to buy a re-do/update of the other character that I likely otherwise wouldn't have. At this point in my collecting, I'd prefer not buying any characters that I already have, EVER AGAIN.
