Quick question for the seasoned ML collectors here. Do u think likely we will see a comic based FF wave to punctuate the movie? or would it be worthwhile hunting down the retro carded FF figures?

If you can get them for a good price, go for it - I don't think they sell for too much. Otherwise, it's safe to assume the FF will come out again at some point. My rule of thumb is to not spend much more than MSRP on a figure because anything can come back around. If Puck can get reissued, anyone can. It all depends on how patient you are.

1) If you really want the retro F4 figures, wait til the movie comes out, depending upon how it does you may find them more or less desirable as most people would. Hasbro has been doing lazy straight reissues as of late without any actual improvements, so for all we know they may just rerun the 4-6 main family characters just to have product out there this summer. The figures I can't say are "great" or anything above average, as I have them myself, the only one I genuinely like is The Thing given his stature and more traditional face sculpt. You never know what's going through other collectors minds, so if the movie tanks you may even see folks selling them off here and there.
2) As I remember all of those figures are pinned joints, meaning we don't really have a pinless F4 offering aside from the movie figures. It wouldn't be unheard of for them to have new ones in the works that are pinless.
3) A number of folks have been asking for new versions of F4 items and characters like MoleMan, FingFangFoom, and the Fantasticar. Given that Galactus came with a handful of his heralds, if the car eventually becomes a Haslab, F4 characters would be the obvious pack in / tiered unlocks.
Overall I'd wait it out. With Moleman coming you're likely to see more F4 likely within the next year or so.
Which would you want an updated marvel legends Fin Fang Foom to be released as, a Haslab or a made to order?
Doesn't matter much to me personally as I'm not a huge F4 guy, I just wanted a F4 presence on the shelf, so I just have the retro offerings of the 4 main characters and then the alternate powered up versions of Sue and Johnny.
I think most would want Foom as a Haslab, but I don't know that he's THAT important of a character for most in their collection to warrant Haslab's minimum numbers. So if they could make a Haslab sized Foom and just make him made to order most would be happy with that without all the campaigning and grousing about daily totals and pressuring others to join etc. One shot, order what you want, get what you want, done.
As an X-Men fan I'm even running out of large scale items I would want. I doubt they're going to do a Blackbird to scale, so other than a Danger Room / War Room or some other sort of mansion facade there's not much I can be tempted with, which I imagine is why varying types of Sentinels keep coming out.
At least with Foom you'd have multiple sorts of fans perhaps wanting him, since that character spans the more Avengers / F4 side of the universe.
If they made a made to order Onslaught that was at least larger than the new Capcom-looking Juggernaut (as Onslaught easily dwarfs Juggernaut and beats him up), I'd probably bite, but I don't need him to be Sentinel or building-sized like he is in the comics seemingly dwarfing downtown Manhattan.
Aside from all that, Capcom Psylocke made it to Australia already:
Overall my (minor) complaints are that her thighs look a little thick and her hair impairs movement. But it's largely the Psylocke I was asking for so whatever. May have to see if the strike team head matches, I do tend to prefer the lanky-ness of the old 90s body somewhat as she was always pretty toned/thin as I remember in Lee/Kubert 90s comics. Just need an improved non-Vulcan-based 90s Archangel, perhaps with a mulleted head, and a decent 90s Iceman of some sort.
