I finally got my "white whale" Polar Boy (thanks again, Nightcrawler!), and so here is my setup now (which actually utilizes the "pins" aspect).
"Tragically" (which thankfully is just hyperbole here, all other things considered), a few issues still: 1) The main reason i was excited to get Brek was so that I'd have all the pre-5-year gap members... but alas, I forgot that Jacques/IK2 is only announced and still not released ... hence the sad gap between Blok and White Witch. 2) Of course, I'd also like to get all the Legion "peripheral" characters, but alas, I missed another one... despite having just been released end of January, Color Kid is already sold out. However, given the short time before the re-stock of Polar Boy, this time I am confident I'll get another chance
others missing are not shown but have been ordered: Laurel Kent, bigger Colossal boy and Thunder. I think that's all "released" so far, (confusing since they all still say "unreleased"...), other than the Multiverse one mentioned above.
For Discussion: I have to say, I am surprised by Thunder being the only Moy-era (what are we officially calling it? V5?) character released so far... I'd have thought Gates, XS and Kinetix are more "canonical" of that run. Gold Lantern also seems an odd choice, althogh I guess he was a focus characer recently.
I'd also think the rest of the subs would rate a release before Power Boy and Laurel Kent.
Who do you all think should be next? (keeping in mind that "awaiting release" are Universo, Nemesis Kid, Jacques. and Double-Header, plus a new versio of Duo Damsel)..
My own opinion is that going beyond end of V3 is a huge can of worms, so they should just FIRST finish out the pre-5-year gap, which would mean: 1) Rest of subs - in order, I'd do Stone Boy (offered membership once!), Fire Lad, Chlorophyll Kid, and then Infectious Lass and Porcupine Pete (who i think ended up as members in thecomics, and certainly did in the cartoon) 2) more Villains? Silver Age Compute is pretty iconic, as is the original Starfinger. Infinite Man is pretty Iconic of later Legion, and I'm surprised there is not yet a Darkseid. 3) for Silver Age completists there is Kid Psycho, Lana Lang/Insect Queen, and Jimmy Olsen/Elastic Lad. For that matter, Rond Vidar? 3) There are obviously other Legion academy regulars besides Power Boy and Laurel: Lamprey, Comet Queen (shudder), Myg/KK2, etc. 4) Atmos(but only if properly depicted without armpits!!!) 5) Duplicate Boy? Other heroes of Lallor?
Ironicallly, I said 5-year gap and after is a "can of worms", but the more i think, so is the era up to that, so much history....

Hmmm. given the announcement posted earlier by Nightcrawler (weirdly imbedded in the "Double-Header" announcement, see here: Double-Header ), I wonder if this is one of the 31 "Legion Villans a day" planned for October?
Perhaps suggesting otherwise, though,they just released Nemesis Kid this pastg Friday... But it is interesting to think which 31 villains they will pick if NOT ones already announced... with the whole Legion of Super-villains to choose from, though, shouldn't be hard... But then ALSO, that will end up with that actual Legionnaire pins greatly out-numbered.... need the rest of the Subs, at least!
ALSO, at $12 a pop, 31 new ones in a month is starting to get REALLY expensive,,,
... despite having just been released end of January, Color Kid is already sold out. However, given the short time before the re-stock of Polar Boy, this time I am confident I'll get another chance....
Woo-hoo - thanks, Nightcrawler(!) - I had been checking almost every day but had lately given up... but you're like like "Old Faithful" on the updates! Much appreciated, already ordered him!
But sadly, I agree with you that the dream of having all the subs together will be a tad marred by this early 70s version of Chlorophyll kid... they later went back to his older costume anyway in the 80s and beyond, so this one is pretty esoteric and i think was only ever used one or twice.... plus, in this get-up he looks too much like GeoForce (I think?) from Teen Titans.
Suprised Stone Boy didn't come first - he was teh first sub offered full LSH membership, after all(!!!)... but then again, they aleady did "Power Boy", so they are definitely keeping it a bit random - which i guess is fun in that it's less predictable and keeps us guessing.. woudlnt' have expected Reflecto to be next at all, but will be happy to have him!
