I don't know if I'm going to keep my Iceman preorder. "Fine"and "good" are not good enough at this price. Plus, it's still the Sunfire buck, which is the biggest deterrent. I'm already past my BBTS return threshold for him, I'd have to get store credit. Should I use it for a sweatpants DD...

I understand companies have to keep milking the same few nostalgia cows for us 40+ year olds, and the one photo they have so far looks fine, but man, NECA gave us the final word on movie TMNT. They're 7 years old and I don't think they're going to be topped.

I don't have it even close to being all figured out but I can tell one thing that help me: Forget "universe building". It will never end. Find a finite niche of the universe you like and instead of getting everything, be happy with representation. I'll take Todd's Batman Returns line. I...

You forgot "because COVID", "because licensing fees", "because shareholders". Yes, there is no shortage of scapegoats for the ever-increasing prices. If there weren't a tariff war going on they would blame something else. I think my response to this will be to decrease my Hasbro buying next...

I'm not sure where to post things now. I posted my Mainframe zinger in the other thread. Should it have gone here? I got the police officer last week using a "thanks for getting your flu shot at Target, here's $10 off" coupon and yesterday I found the fire fighter on clearance on an...

I'm not a huge stickler for characters' heights. I don't have The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe memorized from cover to cover, couldn't tell you if Batman or Superman is supposed to be taller. All I know is that I have a ton of Classifieds, all of which are more or less the same...

Did McFarlane Toys take over GI Joe Classified? What the heck is up with Mainframe? Scale?

That $3 extra doesn't seem like much, but that's the insidiousness of the price creep. Plus, I think the sales tax gets overlooked a lot. Yes, at $25 we still, of course, paid sales tax, but we were still a bit under $30 a figure at that point. Now, including sales tax, we're paying $30 a pop...

Darcy and Scarlet Witch as seen in the Scarlet Witch comic. I would pay the $65 asking price. Hot, hot, HOT!

I saw the full wave at Walmart today, one of each. I have to say, my gripes with Feral aside, this looks like a great wave overall. I have Rachel and Feral in my POL right now, but I could see myself buying the rest of them........if not for the price hike. I don't think I've bought a ML at...

I couldn't wrap my head around the resurrection stuff in HOX. It's baked into the plot and yet you still have characters running around pretending like death matters. I read an issue where Storm had some sort of terminal illness and she was fearful at the thought of dying. What? What am I...

If anyone ordered two, I'd be interested in a library ghost and Slimer.

Packing unique Giant Man BAF parts in with figure variants was definitely a choice. I saw living proof that the Walmart display is not AI. You have to drive 3 hours from my house to a Walmart in farm country. FB users tell me that this Walmart also has certain figures on clearance right now...

I don't want my wife to buy me figures for birthdays or Christmas. I made that mistake once long ago, she bought me a figure second hand that, at the time, commanded a pretty hefty after market price. The figure has aged poorly and since then have had multiple "better" versions, I would never...

People think that of me when ever I say I like a Toybiz Marvel Legend over a Hasbro. I'll watch dhunter's videos on occasion. His comparisons are helpful.... to a point. I get that when he compares stuff to a bag of flower or whatnot, that's just his sense of humor, but when he does the wide...

I keep waiting for Hasbro to give him a dedicated buck but the temptation is to slap a DD tampo on one reuse or another, mold it in all red plastic and call it good.

But FOMO! FOMO! Also, curious to know which are the 10% that ARE required to be bought immediately :)

I'd be willing to bet they reissue lab coat Beast at the same time they announce 97 Beast and put them on the same buck. Then they get another $80 from everyone.

Every time I think I may be tempted by the Juggernaut I see the BAF ball jointed hips on the guy and I think, "no way". For $65? Ten year old waist articulation? The cut at the upper thigh where it meets the ball joint is ugly on the BAF and they didn't want to fix it for this. Nah. Maybe...

I think they'll get around to it reissuing it. That secondary market price = guaranteed sales for Hasbro, It would probably sell out. Never overpay for a Marvel Legend.

I don't recall the default movie head and the white widow head looking that different. I don't have the white one anymore. You got pics of those head mods?

OK, what Black Widow do I go with? I think the best figure might be her solo movie version, but I think the look might be a bit over designed. I think the best Scar Jo likeness is the quantum suit head, and I have two of those, but I'm not a fan of the hair style. Maybe I try to swap hair...

Oooh...that's not bad.

My threshold for when I consider a figure to be "too old" is remarkably high. I don't consider JJ to be "dated" at all. Besides doing pinless (which I don't really care about) I don't know what they could do with her today that would make her better by leaps and bounds. They captured her...

Yes, I am doing just that. New DD and Punisher, Jessica J, which I love, I'm torn on which D+ Moon Knight to keep.
