The Legendary rank has a special element of uncertainty associated to it, and that is the fact that the specific required Activity is unknown by the account, being somewhere in between the range of 775 and 1030 (*). That’s a pretty wide range, that leaves these legendary-to-be accounts wondering every fortnight if their Activity will surpass the threshold set for their account.
The longer the wait, the more the thrive I figure, although some accounts, for multiple reasons, seem to have dropped the towel in the process. This is a short list of some of those Hero Members that are waiting for their Activity to chime-in:

That above is a list of Hero accounts that have already surpassed at least half of the required Activity interval, and have yet not reached their personal Activity requirement for Legendary (data as of last Friday).
Note how @BitCryptex will need to wait until the next Activity window, which should be his last wait (his requires activity is therefore somewhere between 1023 and 1030).
(*) The specific value depends on your UserId:
Just to remind that the Activity required to reach the Legendary rank is a random value that depends on the UserId of the profile, and a secretSeed which, for obvious reasons, we do not have:
<…> Currently this randomness is done with a single SQL query, which is very convenient.
update smf_members
set ID_POST_GROUP=21
where ID_POST_GROUP=8
and activity>=775 and activity>=775+conv(substr(sha1(concatenate(ID_MEMBER,secretSeed)), 1, 2), 16, 10)
<…>
Note: I had to replace "concat" with "concatenate" in the above quote to be able to publish the post.
