Yep, the James Gordon thing is a very good example of what's wrong with trying to collect this line. Yes, he's a non-powered character but he's also one of the Top 10 most important characters in DC Comics. Why is it so hard to get a figure of him? I've never seen the colored version for less...

Yes, please. I'd take her in just about any comic look that they'd be likely to do for her.

Here's something that we definitely agree upon. Although, unlike Marvel Legends where I still have hundreds of characters that I want after 20+ years of collecting - I have most of the characters that I really want from DC. Unfortunately, just because I have figures of the characters doesn't...

If this gets down to 50% off at some point, I'll probably bite. Not likely until then, though.

Yep, scale matters. I consider myself a 1/12th scale collector who buys some 1/10th scale figures. Todd changing the scale when I'd been collecting for many, many years and 100s of DC figures was a betrayal that I just will never forgive. It will be interesting to see what Mattel does - they're...

Fair. I was really referring to characters that casual non hardcore fans wouldn't necessarily know, but honestly you could make that case for probably anybody outside of the Top 50 or so DC characters and likely less. That's not at all what I would personally consider obscure, but I was trying...

Yes, I'd definitely buy Unicorn! While I prefer the comic version, I'd even also buy the gender swapped version from the recent Spidey animated series that was on D+.

Yes, Todd gave us some deep cut characters that were surprises (Lucius Fox, Grifter, Connor Hawke and the Frankenstein mega-figure are my favorite figures in the line), but let's not pretend that Mattel never gave us deep cuts. They gave us stuff that Todd would never touch also. The Legion of...

I'd had an ebay store for several years but just recently closed it down for a few months due to the economy and tax implications. I was allowed 1,000 Buy It Now listings at one time under the store tier I paid for (27.95 per month) and I tried to always stay as close to that as possible. As a...

I'd be happy to just know what primary scale that Mattel is planning on. That would be a start. It's possible that they may plan on multiple scales. In fact they probably are. I'm sure that there will one primary collector's line and a couple of different kids' lines. I'd expect to see their...

This was in reference to my avoidance of soft goods. Unless you've got them in an enclosed display I've found that they can tend to have a pretty short shelf life before they have to be disposed of altogether. That can vary greatly though based upon quality, of course --- but dust...

I'd buy Turbo, but not high on my list.

I personally hope that Hasbro mostly avoids soft goods unless it's just as a swappable option. Unless you've got them in an enclosed display I've found that they can tend to have a pretty short shelf life before they have to be disposed of altogether. That can vary greatly though based upon...

It wouldn't shock me if Absolute is being saved for Mattel's entrance back into the line. I feel like Metal was held back for Todd when he took over. It was just too weird at the time that neither Mattel or DC Collectibles were touching it. Now it can take a year for product to be produced once...

I had hundreds of Mattel and DC Direct figures long before McFarlane got the license and McF got on my bad side from the moment they announced the change in the scale. McF was never winning me back after that. My displays are almost still entirely Mattel with other stuff mixed in. Much of my McF...

I haven't been keeping up on this thread so this likely has already been posted, but saw a bunch of NECA stuff at Walmart for $25 that used be $35. Gargoyles, Predator, Horror stuff..... It was it's own section in electronics. Sorry if this is old news like I'm sure it likely is. I don't...

Saw Cap/Venom at Walmart today. I did a double take that it wasn't the Walmart exclusive Omega Red / War Machine that they had.

I bought that X-Men villains 5-pack at full price when it first came out. I keep considering it at this price. If it goes any lower at all, I'll likely jump - but jus tlike @TENIME it's the portal and Zero and maybe Pretty Boy that I most want from a second set.

I received my Iron Man / Mandarin 2-pack from Amazon today. They did the stupid thing where they just put a label on the item rather than putting in a box. At least they put it on the back of the box and not the front this time, but that's really annoying. The last item this happened to me on...

Yes, I'd buy Nekra - but not high on my list of personal wants.

Listen, I've bought a ton of McFarlane stuff and there are figures I truly love, but there are 4 things that I HATE about this line: 1) 7-inch scale. I'll never forgive McF for this change. I've been sour about it since Day 1 and I've never gotten over it. Although scale doesn't really seem to...

@RichardSimmonsRobot, I think it's showing you prices in Canadian $. MTS does this to me all the time randomly. There's a toggle in the top right hand corner of the screen. It did this to me yesterday after I added stuff to my cart. I have no idea why. I live in Iowa. You just have to switch it...

Yeah, I couldn't even tell you how many total Legends figures I have. I have at least one version of every single character ever made by Hasbro, Toy Biz or Diamond in this relative scale. This is also true for DC from DC Direct, Mattel and McFarlane. I also collect other lines, but nowhere near...

I received Kitana today. She's nice, if not a little plain - but I think that's what they're shooting for her. The retro look and feel. McFarlane's older Mortal Kombat stuff that got released with the last game was very stylized to the point it was hard for me to recognize the characters from...

Maybe I've got my blinders on but I feel like Mattel went a lot deeper with DCUC than McFarlane has gone with this line. Now I'll admit that it has gotten better for McFarlane just this past year. I look at my Mattel DC shelves and I see characters that Todd likely wouldn't have gotten to if he...
