Any Marvel Legends collectors out there?

I have a pretty decent collection of Marvel Legends. I haven't counted lately, but it's easily over 100 figures. I'm not the kind of collector that keep them in the packages either. I take them out and put them on shelves all over the place. When I'm looking at them, I start thinking about what characters I feel should be released but haven't been yet. Eventually, I started thinking not just about what characters I wanted released, but what whole series I wanted to see and what box sets I wanted to see, and that's my question to anyone reading this who also collects Marvel Legends. What whole series and box sets would you like to see made? Here's what I came up with so far: The first series I'd like to see is an entire Age of Apocalypse series to go with the handful of characters they've released so far. There's way too many characters to add them all so I narrowed it down to the 9 I'd like to see the most and a build a figure, which is the most that have been released in one series so far. My picks are Magneto, Rogue, Jean Grey, Cyclops, Sinister, Dark Beast, Blink, Bishop, Colossus, and Apocalypse for the build a figure. The other series I came up with is an all female series because they haven't released nearly as many female characters as they have male characters in the line. The characters I came up with for this one are a re-release of Rogue, (because the one in the X-Men box set has a terrible sculpt and it's hard to come by) The Enchantress, a classic Shadowcat, Polaris, Callisto, Typhoid Mary, Silver Sable, Spidergirl, and Morgan le Fay. I wouldn't give this series a build a figure, I'd give it the classic stands instead. (I miss the classic stands) The box sets I came up with are first, the original line up of the Hellfire Club with Sebastian shaw, Emma Frost, Donald Pierce, Harry Leland, and Jason Wyngarde. They've recently relaesed Jean Grey as the Black Queen, so a Hellfire Club box set would go perfectly with her. The other box set I'd like to see is the original line up of the X-Men. (Cyclops, Jean Grey, Angel, Beast, and Iceman) Toy Biz made a box set back in 97 that was pretty nice, especially for the time it was made. A friend of mine has it and it would actually fit in with Marvel Legends fairly well as the size and detail aren't actually that far off from Marvel Legends. The reason I want Marvel Legends to re-do it is A) The original box set is really expensive and hard to find. and B) I saw an awesome custom box set from Custom Con 22 the other day that made me really want to see it get officially made. These are my choices. I'd love to hear some other ideas.
