Speaking strictly from my own perspective, I think this is more about realizing that something that has brought you so much joy over the last 25+ years is gradually becoming an albatross. First World problems and all that, but it is a little unnerving, especially when being considered “middle...

Yeah, I’m really struggling, even with $180 after tax and shipping for the six needed to build Skurge. At least I have plenty of time to cancel if I change my mind. It’s weird though. It’s really not about the figures themselves, or even the money. It’s more of a “Are we really going to...

Probably. And of course, I’ll like that one better. 😉

Thanks, NORM! I couldn’t find Iron Man or Warbow either! $180 though…Ay Caramba! Maybe the slowdown in BAF waves isn’t such a bad thing after all. 😜

Mixed. I’m a big believer in the “Something for Everyone” approach. I don’t mind waves with a general theme. For example, an “X-Men” themed wave can support a broad range of characters, but an “Age of Apocalypse” themed wave is too “all or nothing” for my tastes.

Well, now I feel like an ass. I checked last night to see what time the DC Multiverse figures were going up and saw it was 9:00 am EDT. So when I strolled in there after 9:30 and placed my order, I thought “Oh, good…plenty for everyone!” I didn’t realize that many of you were expecting them...

I casually surfed over to Walmart at 9:35 am EDT and preordered Red Tornado and Batgirl. This is how preorders should be, not these instant sellouts if you get busy at work and forget to be at the designated place at the designated time. I passed on Atom Smasher and Spectre. I like my COIE...

Werewolf by Night. “Jack Russel”. I read my first comic featuring Werewolf by Night over 50 years ago, and I just now got that joke,

Apologies if I missed this, but do any of the figures in this wave NOT come with a BAF piece? I’m weighing the cost/benefit of buying all of the figures needed to build the Executioner, or just getting what I want loose (probably more expensive, but no unwanted figures to unload).

I have nothing but love for Hasbro today. Completing the Inhumans is huge. I’m even excited about the Black Bolt and Medusa upgrades.

My local Target went from embarrassingly weak to surprisingly chic overnight. Weapon X, Outback Storm, MTG battle damaged Spidey, MTG Anti-Venom, remnants of X-Men 97, and McF Sandman were on the pegs and shelves. I walked out with Storm, Sunspot, and Sandman while thinking about this...

I plan on paring down to… All New, All Different Outback Blue and Gold (MAFEX) Astonishing …as far as X-Men proper teams are concerned. Believe it or not, that still leaves me with a boatload of ML X-Men figures to sell off. I love Rogue, but I don’t need four different figures of her in...

I’ve had the same hesitation to pull the trigger on new purchases, but unlike you, I haven’t found that “Wow” item yet that’s making me want to jump back in. For all of McFarlane’s faults (and there are many), he can throw a figure out there like Stephane Brown from Batgirls and get me all...

I have some of the earlier Bring Arts figures from Kingdom Hearts, NieR Automatica, and Xenogears. I like them, but between the high price points and not being all that familiar with much of the source material, I dropped out pretty quickly. The Play Arts Kai Final Fantasy VII Remake Cloud...

I think the average Target store/department manager and the average collector would both be happy to never set eyes on each other again, but corporate wants our money.

How the same line from the same company can be responsible for both this new Red Tornado and the previous one is beyond me. Digital Red Tornado: “This could be one of the best toy lines of all time!” Gold Label Red Tornado: “April 2026 can’t get here fast enough.” I need another McFarlane...

Classic Daimon Hellstrom is n my top ten. Classic Satana is in my top twenty.

Masterverse Blade is available on eBay for around $100 shipped. That’s only a few dollars more that a standard Marvel Legends figure will cost in 2027.

Thank you!

That western box set would have been awesome. I would have wanted the Rawhide Kid as well.

That’s where I’m coming from as well. I just turned 59. While I don’t plan on retiring for another six years, six years will go by fast. 2019 seems like yesterday, and when I’m on a fixed income, I’ll be lucky if I can afford to buy a figure at Ollie’s.

The Storm Collectibles (proper) line is more in 1/10 scale, so they started a subline called Storm Arena that is in 1/12 scale and priced in the $25-$35 range. I don’t doubt that the creation of the line and the price point was heavily influenced by Jada, though.

I think I might have made the wrong impression. What I was trying to say, in the spirit of Renfield75’s post, is that I would be willing to pay a premium for limited production runs of certain characters that may not warrant a mass market release and/or would not be made otherwise. I’m not...

Don’t worry. The corporate machine isn’t listening and doesn’t care. 😉

I’d be fine with that as well…provided we were getting the characters and costumes we’ve been asking for ad nauseam. I’d have no problem forking over $50 for a well made and accessorized Namorita in her green swimsuit.
