>>11618394Some reissues
>>11618397More reissues
>>11618403And these seem to be the last of the ML reissues for now.
Mezco Hulk
>>11618406
>>11618407
Fanchannel scalpers on suicide watch.
>>11618414Especially power princess horders
>>11618414Good. Fuck these bitches. More rereleases! More!
>>11618406CUT
>>11618252Prices on the newer figures tend to only really go up on Amazon anymore. Like the Mandarin 2 pack went up 8 bucks and so did the Masque and Crossbones pack.
>>11618527Oh please, I saw the Lilandra 2 pack and Dr. Strange 2 pack for like $26 like a month or two ago. They hit discount, you just have to be patient. Also, those price trackers aren't that accurate from my experience. I almost picked up the LIlandra pack at that price, but the price tracker doesn't ever show it going that cheap.
>>11618540>I almost picked up the LIlandra pack at that priceSounds like you were hallucinating otherwise you would've bought it
>>11618543Nah, I was just on the fence about it at that price still since I don't have any other Shi'ar stuff to go with her. I was debating grabbing the Warlord Chuck to go with her but decided against it since he was like $15 at the time. Wasn't worth it to me. $13 at Ross like some anons were reporting last week would've been good though.
>>11618540>Dr. Strange 2 pack for like $26 liWell that was only for Prime members so sorta
>>11618547Betting on Ross is only for something you are pretty much set on never getting, since it is a crap shoot what your particular Ross will get; totally depends on chance.
>>11618466Just whatever was obvious in the last few years where new scalpers took over with their covid gibs.
>>11618577I didn't really want the sets that bad, only if I found them for cheap
Complain to Amazon next time and you may get discounts.
>>11618596I will keep this in mind
>>11618397Not! Wonder Woman. That one person must be excited.
>>11618638A whole ton of people that missed out are excited.
>>11618638Your boyfriend?
>>11618638>Valley Forge isn't online all day>DC thread isn't terrible for once and there's no scramble to immediymake a new one>No lamenting about Power PrincessHe really is that annoying isn't he? Holy fuck.
>simple disc insert >Can't even put it in the center How embarrassing >It is just a your QCNope Checking on some video on the internet I'm pretty sure the whole batch is built like this as there are people posting the same problem Thankfully the issue does not really show up unless you are doing a flying pose or high head tilt
So are renew your vows and maximum the best ML Spidey figs you can currently buy? Thinking about adding them to my collection but I want to make sure there's not another Spidey fig better than them that I'm not aware of.
>>11618404I've been wanting this fig for the longest but I refuse to pay over $30 for it, now I can get it brand new for less than $30 fuck yeah.
>>11618956The whole neck looks crooked, not just the disc. Is this the Secret Wars version? I got one for like $12 recently but never bothered to open it. The 80th Anniversary version doesn't seem to have this problem.
>>11618991Nah, the neck is straight Is it just the disc is on its side so it looks like the neck is crooked I actually open my 2020 ironman that I never open and use it as a display. It has the same neck/disk problemI must assuming they did something on the manufacturing that the error is now the "final" designI don't think the 80's or the later AI version have this issue. On the side note When I turn the leg on 2020, the rod connection for the right leg literally just broke on me. Not like a snap or a twist. It just came off. I hope this is a one-off and not the gold plastic syndrome strike again >Put the thing back in the box again, I hope the replacement won't have this problem
>>11618956Those poses are key for Iron man
>>11618956The cut itself to take the disc is off center. Seems like it's an issue with the tool itself
Another upcoming rerelease
>>11619005The deluxe War Machine also has this issue. It hasn't happened on mine yet but I'm waiting for the day. I've had it happen to one or two other figures with the swirly twirly plastic. That type of plastic just ages like shit evidently. I'm so paranoid about it happening to my War Machine I picked up the retro carded one just in case.
>>11619016These re-releases are great and all but could you please give me a retro carded Beast Hasbro? Thank you.
The rereleases are a bad sign, like they're trying to drain the last bit of money available for higher demand figures. They did rereleases before but not at this clip.
Uploaded wrong version. Had some fun with CT Daredevil whilst watching football, I am so grateful these guys exist. Very happy to see Power Princess is actually getting reissued and it wasn't bs, I better get a copy this time.>>11619016 This Wasp is so pretty, I just don't really care about the characters so I passed the first time, might have to reconsider.
>>11618956mine has the same issue, its not a big deal as you said, the bigger one is his elbow joints, the top half is super loose and the bottom half is super tight, fucking hasbro
>>11619143That's just Hasbro being Hasbro and not doing pinless joints that great.
>>11619005Huh, mine broke in the exact same place. Wonder why it's just that leg
>>11619246QC issues are often common at specific pain points.
>>11619533Happens pretty regularly on a lot of figs with the marble plastic.
>>11618397Can't wait>>11619044I don't see how. It makes otherwise highly sought figures readily available.I hope they re-release Blade.
>>11618080Ultimate X-Men
I got maximum Deadpool and he sure looks good especially to me whom wants every characters looks from around 2015-18, but he also sure feels like turboass
>>11619695>wants every characters looks from around 2015-18That was arguably one of the worst eras for costumes lol. At least the 2000s were mainly just modernized versions of the classics. They were trying way too hard with the MCU synergy at this time.
>>11619704Yeah but 2016 is when I started actively reading comics so I have NostalgiaAlso I don't agree, but again, nostalgia
>>11619709I would kill for a decent modern comics Captain Marvel
>>11619707OOOF, I get it. I'm the same way with the mid 2000s. But fuckin Ooof.
Stop taking photos in front of cardboard. Stop using flash. Learn how to pose. Stop spamming.
>>11619711Ehhhh I mean I just entirely disagree but I am a big inhumans girlie
>>11619727I pose very well tyvm but the other criticisms are fair
I won't stop using cardboard though it's a strong neutral backdrop
Faggot
>>11619727Lighting without flash requires specific equipment people may not want to invest in. His photos look ok to me--better than my own with flash
>>11619727>Complaining about posing>Claiming posting toys on a toy board is spammingWhy are you like this? Who hurt you?
>>11619719Was this Wanda intentionally censored or did they just happen to choose a look with more coverage?
>>11619712The DD stands for Dust Devil. This figure needs a good scrub.
>>11619804>specific equipmentYou mean a lamp?
>>11619864How casual are you bruh? It's literally her most iconic look
>>11619898This is her most "Iconic" look for me, if you know what I mean.
>>11619920>for meYeah, that doesn't matter. Her classic look has always been picrel.
>>11619937Funny that you'd think someone would care what everyone else's most iconic look is.
>>11619966I don't think this is the gotcha you seem to think it is...
>>11619980It isn't a gotcha, it's I don't care what other people view as the iconic look. I only care what I do.
>>11619992Ok, I was just answering the question from >>11619864. Not sure why you're acting like this.
>>11619920It is the same one. Just depends on what the colorist felt like today. Sometimes she has exposed thighs as well.
>>11619714Herr Roter Schädel dies of cringe
For those who have both, does the Outback era Rogue's head fit on the Warbird/Ms. Marvel's body? Thinking about getting a second Warbird and Outback Rogue to recreate Rogue in the Ms Marvel costume circa 246-247.....
>>11619920God, this look needs and update. They can reuse the warbird torso and legs and the arms, just keep the tittas and give it an update faceprint headscult.
As per Kaiju Daddy, SHF Marvel figure #3 is Wolverine.
>>11620266This figure will absolutely mog the legendslop in height and articulation alone. Lol hasblo btfo.
>>11620311It won't be as good as the Mafex
>>11620312If they make him a beefcake and not as lean as the mafex, then it will be absolutely better we’ll have to wait and see.
>>11620314Bandai is the Hasbro of the east. Spider Man and Cyclops look not as good as their Mafex counterparts. No reason to assume Wolverine won't be the same. Anyway, try not to turn this into a console war debate.
Other things mentioned:*The poll results kind of surprised them, and may have an effect on release order. Also, the respondents were overwhelmingly outside of Japan. Also, Hulk supposedly was quite a popular pick.* it's been intimated that P2 colors are not off the table.*Gamerverse is a Marvel-owned branding, so no Capcom characters. However, it has been said that Bandai is not adverse to possibly doing them on their own.I think those were the main points.
>>11620311I like the chonk
The retro cards are really annoying. Do the majority of ML buyers really want this rather than a nice compact box and a consistent look for the figure storage?
>>11620429I have no issue storing those.
>>11620429I miss the 2010 blisters. I hate the boxes, especially with all that tape you have to scrape/cut out
Don't forget to order Apocalypse, if you want it. Only one day left.
>>11620477I got one, may as well.
>>11620477Be sure to get a storage container to store him in too
>>11620474need a new hawkeye. Since they love two packs so much give us one with Clint and Kate.
Any tips how to give this fig better diaphragm articulation? Shit barely moves.
>>11620547wait for the maximum release
>>11620429I throw away 99% of the packaging. Why would I care?
Rogue delayed again to December and Jubilee push back to Feb 2026.
>>11620598Honestly, I'm fine with this.
>>11620553
>>11620607Same. Ive kinda lost interest now the hype from 97 has died.
>>11620598What a fuck-up of a company.
>>11620429I don't like the retro cards either but hell, the figures are there for unpacking anyway. What I do find annoying is the size because it takes up way more space in terms of delivery packaging and the plastic is more prone to damageWhat I absolutely hate is how Hasbro went from "muh sustainability with less plastic" to "let's have the maximum amount of plastic instead of using the regular packages which actually have less plastic waste in total. They went full evil mode>>11620598Storm and Beast are the only ones left, right?
>>11620547Heat it up
>>11620653>Storm and Beast are the only ones left, right?They've already done Storm. Beast is the final Blue Strike Force needed, however.
>>11620553Mafex and Mezco both fucked up their Thors, so Maximum better not.
>>11620692I'm praying and wishing that Maximum is Copiel Thor. It's such a good redesign.
>>11620695I'm hoping it's classic without the gummyass pinned legs and pinned arms.
Speaking of Thor, a Mangog would be very welcomed.
>>11620598Why doesn't mafex just take what they think the release date is and add about 6 months?
>>11620696I mean fair, since that version hasn't been done pinless yet. But goddamn we need a new Copiel Thor so bad. It's probably his most prominent look after his classic one.
>>11620707Because that still wouldnt be enough. Rogue has been delayed 7 months, and I'm willing to bet she wont be released in December, either.
>>11620732I wonder if they're having issues with the soft goods. Could be they're having trouble getting her jacket to be good enough. Tim Drake is scheduled for this month too but Amiami hasn't issued a delay for him yet and he only has a soft goods cape.
>>11620732>>11620754Like I can't fathom what happens with these import Japanese figure makers. They must not even have started production yet if they're still fiddling with things, which is bizarre. By the time they put up orders they should already have the figure sample done (as we can see the images of it) and know exactly how to do everything so all that should be left is the factories doing their assembly lines of it. If the factories totally fuck up I can't imagine they're going to rerun every order so it's like they must still be fiddling with implementation of the mass production side.
>>11620762Mafex generally doesn't release figures unless they preview them at various shows. Rogue, Jubilee and all of them had physical unpainted prototypes prior to them being solicited. It could be an issue with the factory mass producing something, who knows? There are a number of reasons why these things could be delayed but them not physically prototyping them out before they're solicited isn't the case.
Do you think Maximum Thor would have a wired cape?
>>11620782This is Hasbro, so I'm going to say no, especially when they're already charging $40 for a regular Cap and $47 for regular figures with a Magic card. To include a wired cape they'd probably up the price to $70
>>11620782Yes. It will have all the bells and whistles of modern toys but deem “premium”. Hascucks are gonna be excited for muh toe joints and muh wire cape.
>>11620794Why wouldn't they get excited if Hasbro is offering them everything they are asking for? Look at the Hulk figure still having pins, reuse and not a _proper_ iconic headsculpt despite having 3 heads, each a niche. Maximum will stay within the Hasbro paradigm of not giving everything fans want or else they won't ever buy another Thor.
What kind of weird pose were they going for with this promo image?
Wtf is Kith and why am I seeing single releases of Jada and Marvel Legends branded as MvC with a name "Kith" plastered on them
>>11620803All toy companies do this you know.
>>11620811adjusting his cuffs
>>11620813Some fashion brand. I don't know what these figures have to do with it beyond just having their logo slapped on them.
>>11620814Yes, and that is why Thor must be kept without a wired cape. Or the wired cape would have to be used only on a non-definitive look to create a flawed work that would not end sales of Thor figures.
>>11620754Something must not be working. The jacket would be the obvious culprit. I'm kind of hoping they're redoing the hair sculpt on one of the heads so they aren't all wind-swept, but I won't hold my breath.>>11620762>Like I can't fathom what happens with these import Japanese figure makers.Medicom and Good Smile Company are the two that are really bad about hitting release windows. Only company I can think of that's worse is Mezco.
>>11620838What if the jacket is causing color transfer issues onto the figure? We could be here for years waiting for this preorder of them trying to prevent that
>>11620838>Something must not be working. The jacket would be the obvious culprit. I'm kind of hoping they're redoing the hair sculpt on one of the heads so they aren't all wind-swept, but I won't hold my breath.I really doubt they're redoing any of the actual sculpt work. It's almost guaranteed to be the jacket. Bandai redid SHF Ben Kenobi, giving him a soft goods robe, and he was delayed several times before finally releasing.>>11620841Doubtful. It's probably more along the lines of the jacket not coming out at the quality they want at whatever factory that's producing it. Also, stop being overly dramatic.
>>11620782I think it’ll be ultimate Thors design so they wouldn’t need a cap at all
>>11620872Those knees on Daredevil stand out like a sore thumb
>>11620875No they won't do an alt universe Thor as the Maximum release. I honestly don't even believe they'll do it as the Coipel version, but I'm trying to meme it into happening.
>>11620877Thats CTtoys for ya.
>>11620782I think so but knowing hasbro it would be made of the same shit material they use on storm’s cape
>>11620880There are people in this thread that claim that the CT version is just as good as the Mafex. Lmao
>>11620813I just saw that on Xitter. It looks like it's just an ad for some MvC themed clothing they're doing.
Calm thine tits you fucking spergs, Carol and PP aren't even that good or worth reselling, especially since Mcfarlane already made the superior WW
>>11620915Power Princess is definitely better than McFarlane's CE Wonder Woman. Not so certain on the Godzilla pack in that is basically fully painted as fully painted figures are rare these days in domestics
>>11620915lmao someone is coping about their buyers remorse.
>>11620915seethe
>>11620872Frank lookin a little short here.
I don't care what you say, this is the best version of X-Force. I finally got around to opening Dark Angel and grabbing X-Force Deathlok since he was cheap on Amazon. Dark Angel's wings are really nicely done. Definitely am considering finding a way to use them with the old Archangel. This made me dig out my UXF omnibus and give that a re-read. Haven't re-read the series since it came out. Forgot how much AoA stuff was in it, but I also forgot how good the incorporation of that AoA stuff was. I wasn't the biggest fan of the Utopia era of X-Men, but it did give us this kino team.
Fug I need it
>>11620319>Mafex Spider-Man and Cyclops look better than SHF>try not to turn this into a console war debate
>>11621018Dark Angel Saga is so good, I wish they did that version of Dark Angel. There are some differences in his costume.
>>11621018This kind of display is what gets people to overspend on figures to make sure they get a full team. Is it worth it?
>>11621022Whit the fuck is kith
>>11620961
>>11621096>OverspendI got every figure at MSRP or cheaper. So yes it was worth it. UXF is in my top three favorite X-Men books, right alongside New and Astonishing X-Men. Of course, the classic Claremont stuff is in a league all it's own, but I don't count that. I view that as required reading and it being my favorite goes without saying. I just mean other than the classic X-Men storylines. Also, it should be noted that since I like the comic the team comes from I therefore like the team and everyone on it. The only one who I was kind of meh about getting was Deathlok since I already have his regular look, but I got him for like $16 brand new so whatever. I've had Wolverine and Deadpool 7 years at this point, Psylocke and Fantomex not quite as long, but a while, since before covid I wanna say. So it's nice to get AoA Kurt and Dark Angel to finish off the team. Not sure why collecting a team from a book I really like bothers you. Does it bother you I paid $60 or whatever for the Omnibus back in the day too?
>>11621100Some fashion company. From what I gather, they're doing some MvC inspired line of clothing and I guess they're using that as way to market special P2 versions Marvel and Jada figs. The boxes look officially licensed so It they don't look like customs or anything. Interesting avenue to release these.
>>11621111Well I'd consider that Archangel at MSRP to be a pretty big rip off. But sort of what I meant was that usually for team builders, if they are intent on a team, will preorder to avoid missing out on that team, thus always paying MSRP and never having a chance to get a deal. It saddens me that I preordered Outback Storm only to see her go on sale a month or so later. It's a bit rare to have someone trying to build a team wait for sales or clearance so a lot of people I feel were being forced to overspend by Hasbro to complete their teams. Maybe you didn't.
>>11621100How Mike Tyson pronounces "Kiss."
>>11621129>Well I'd consider that Archangel at MSRP to be a pretty big rip off.Ya see, I didn't. Isn't it weird how different people have different opinions than you? >if they are intent on a team, will preorder to avoid missing out on that team, thus always paying MSRP and never having a chance to get a deal.So? That just means those figures are worth MSRP to those people. I was willing to pay MSRP for X-Force, so I did. It was like $160 over the course of like seven or eight years. It was hardly a big deal. >It saddens me that I preordered Outback Storm only to see her go on sale a month or so laterBig deal. The money you would've saved wouldn't have even purchased you a Happy Meal at McDonalds. You obviously wanted her enough to pay MSRP for her. Try not to lament about missing deals. It's not as big of a deal as you think. >It's a bit rare to have someone trying to build a team wait for sales or clearance so a lot of people I feel were being forced to overspend by Hasbro to complete their teamsBasically what your whole argument boils down to is; you don't think something is worth the price so no one else should either. Sorry, but that's just your subjective opinion. The $160ish I paid for the team over the course of 3/4 of a decade just isn't s big deal to most people.
>>11621136>Big deal. The money you would've saved wouldn't have even purchased you a Happy Meal at McDonalds. You obviously wanted her enough to pay MSRP for her. Try not to lament about missing deals. It's not as big of a deal as you think.It adds up. We are all being ripped off by Hasbro with MSRP prices on Marvel Legends, especially once they reach "deluxe" prices or Maximum prices. These figures do not cost nearly as much to make as we are paying. The fact that Target can so flippantly put a figure down to ~$18 from $25 shows that.>The $160ish I paid for the team over the course of 3/4 of a decade just isn't s big deal to most people.Knowing 67% of American workers are living paycheck to paycheck*, I do think even what seems like a small amount of money to you is from a perspective different from the majority of Americans. But this has never been the board for the majority, as collecting is an expensive hobby. But I wouldn't make claims about most people when it comes to toy purchases.* https://www.newsweek.com/2025-rise-americans-living-paycheck-2128753
>>11621114They go up in Kith stores and on their site the 14th. I know the Wolverine is sprite-accurate, but the Yoohoo brown and blue belt look asstastic.
>>11621148>We are all being ripped off by Hasbro with MSRP prices on Marvel LegendsThat's just your opinion man. I still think MLs are worth it at MSRP. Sure, with the price hikes I'm being more selective, but at this point my Marvel collection is pretty good and I don't need to pick up slight upgrades every year. But I still find certain figures worth MSRP. I can't wait for Astonishing Beast for instance. >These figures do not cost nearly as much to make as we are paying. The fact that Target can so flippantly put a figure down to ~$18 from $25 shows that.No fucking shit. 99% of the shit you buy doesn't cost nearly as much to make as you pay for it. What's even your point? Are suddenly not going to buy toilet paper because it costs significantly more than it does to make?>Knowing 67% of American workers are living paycheck to paycheck*, I do think even what seems like a small amount of money to you is from a perspective different from the majority of Americans.First of all, if you're living paycheck to paycheck and see barely paying your bills, you shouldn't be doing frivolous things like spending money on toys. I have a good job where I can pay my mortgage, bills, set aside some savings, and still pay for my hobbies. Second, we're talking like $23 a fucking year lmao. $160 over the course of seven to eight years is literally nothing to even like the poorest of people in America. Are you being serious right now lmao? You're not from the US are you? >But I wouldn't make claims about most people when it comes to toy purchases.Bruh, if $160 over the course of seven years is too much for you, I'm questioning how you're even alive right now.
>>11621225The profit margins on toilet paper are significantly lower than toys.Also I never said anything about myself in that response, only bringing up that you are not really in a position to speak on the perspective of "most people" if you are in this hobby, and that includes myself as well.
>>11621228Like I said bro, if $23 a year is too much for someone, they shouldn't be collecting toys. Not really sure what your argument even is at this point other than to get annoyed at the fact that I completed my favorite X-Force lineup. Sorry that you don't think they're worth it. I do.
>>11621232Even literal homeless people earn more than $23 a year lmao.
>>11621225I'm going to add my two cents into this conversation, but you know how there's sales where you can BUY 2 GET 1 FREE, which makes people buy more shit?Prices going up as much as they has is the opposite effect of that. Just 4 years ago you could be 2 figures for $40 and now just buying 2 costs nearly as much as buying 3, because MLs are now costing upwards of $28 each and are only getting more expensive.People are being deincentivized from buying MLs with prices going up.If you're only buying ONE figure every few months, that's not a problem. Most /toy/ doesn't just buy ONE figure though, especially not Marvel Legends. Marvel Legends used to promote you buying an entire wave with BUILD A FIGURES. Also, i agree, that guy doesn't sound like he's in the US.And just to bring up more examples of how cheap people are, Walmart having ALWAYS LOW PRICES was enough to bring more customers to their stores if an ML cost $19.37 instead of 19.99. Or how ToyrRUs was seen as a rip off when they priced their MLs at 20.97 instead of 19.99 at their Times Square location in NYC.So not even a dollar difference is enough to keep people from buying shit or made them buy shit at another location.
>>11621022You need dogshit? Just go to your local park you’ll probably find some bits for free.
>>11621232Team building is an evil scourge that Hasbro as cultivated to get people to buy figures at launch and not wait for deals.
>>11621281*has
>>11621250If a couple of dollars deters you from buying something, you didn't really want it. >>11621281>Don't buy a figure you're willing and able to pay for because some broke sperg on 4chan tells you not to.No thanks. Sorry that X-Force triggered you.
>>11621250>And just to bring up more examples of how cheap people are, Walmart having ALWAYS LOW PRICES was enough to bring more customers to their stores if an ML cost $19.37 instead of 19.99.That is just a mental trick when people are passing by a product, just like how $19.99 is a trick to make people think the item is $19 and not $20. And the figures typically don't go to $19.37, they go to $19.97. I don't think any shopper thinks saving 2 pennies matters. Although of course now its $27.97...>So not even a dollar difference is enough to keep people from buying shit or made them buy shit at another location.I think you're incorrect here, people do not go out of their way to buy at a specific store to save a dollar. People avoided TRU but tons of people preorder from BBTS when they upcharge Marvel Legends by an extra dollar many times. It's more the combination of having to take the time to go to the physical TRU just for the privilege of a higher price when they could go to Walmart or Target and get MSRP. So when they jump in the car, they're going to Walmart/Target and not TRU. Not to even mention that TRU only has toys, so that's a triple hit against them.You're going towards the perspective of thinking collectors can't afford toys and shouldn't be spending $23 a year on toys if you believe that $1 was that big a factor. While most people in the US wouldn't spend $23 on toys if they didn't have kids, collectors regularly spend hundreds or even thousands on toys. They are not frugal at all.
>>11621306>people preorder from BBTS when they upcharge Marvel Legends by an extra dollar many timesThis is offset by their flat rate shipping. FYI. I've stopped using them for other reasons, but just pointing that out.
>>11621311It isn't if you order off Amazon where shipping is free.
>>11621320Amazon has been up charging their figures by like $2. Hardly an argument.
>>11621329Not if you order at the only time you should if you're not going to wait for sales: when they are first put up for preorder. Then they are normal priced.
>>11621302>If a couple of dollars deters you from buying something, you didn't really want it.I don't disagree, because there's a lot of shit i bought because WHY NOT? it was cheap or because it came with something little bit that i wanted and it was cheap enough for me to buy it.Now that's no longer true.And enough people are like this, hence the entire industry going downward.You have to remember that these are all luxury products. It's all superfluous shit and seen as a spur of the moment purchase by many>>11621306>people do not go out of their way to buy at a specific store to save a dollarAre you a newfag? Because you sound like a newfagA lot of people have expressed regret on /toy/ for not buying shit at TRU because it was 50¢ more expensive than Walmart. They found a toy at TRU but thought they could hold off from buying it until they found it at Walmart or Target. And now the toy turned out to be rareSame shit happened when KB was around or comic shops, who marked up their prices.Post-TRU/post COVID, these experiences are much rarer, due to people just shopping online more. So a newfag like yourself wouldn't know the lengths people go to to pay a dollar or less... less> the perspective of thinking collectors can't afford toys and shouldn't be spending $23 a year on toys if you believe that $1 was that big a factorNah, just saying that people have always been penny pinchers and always try to get the best deals. If it falls away from the norm, even just 30¢, their purchasing habits will changeI think we're at a point now that the $8 increase in 4 years is beyond just bitching, but actually dropping entire lines. $20 was the base price for nearly a decade and that's what's considered the norm. Not the $22.99 price it was in 2021. OR the $24.99 it's been for a yearPeople thought those price increases were going to be temporary, because COVID and the shipping crisis was temporary. They didn't believe that was going to be the new normal.
I almost jumped out my window again when I realised Power Princess was US only and she was sold out. I managed to get an order in on BBTS, but I have never bought anything from there to the UK it usually ends up costing like 50% of the figure again on top in VAT/shipping and other shit, so I might end up bailing. I hope they have some international reissue stock at some point, this shit is depressing.
>>11621338No one thought the price increases would be temporary. Once MSRP goes up it never comes back down. Ever.
>>11621342Recently picked up Lady Deathstrike, I really like that figure.
>>11621073While I like Remender's Xforce, Dark Angel Saga had way too much padding due to them spending a huge chunk of it setting up that garbage Age of Apocalypse continuation ongoing.
>>11621346Brother, you're on /toy/. Just because there's a few anons who have passed high school doesn't mean the entire board did or aren't from a third world country.There's a ton of retards here who thought the price hikes are temporary. Look at this thread 11145048, where people were comparing the toy industry to a housing market bubble and prices will go downThis thread is all about how/if/when toys will get cheaper again 11390780Same with 11417395OR this cope thread 11551600, where they HOPE prices would go down again.Keyword i was looking for was "temporary", btw. And i only clicked on the first two pages. So if i were to look up another keyword or go back further, I'd find a shit ton more retards thinking the price hikes are just a temporary thing.
i'm not normally one to get hung up on accessory count, but the lack of extra hands here really fucking sucks, especially at $65 for the pack. that doesn't even make sense. 2packs are supposed to be cheaper than two figures, not more!
>>11621346while generally true, legends did go up a couple dollars during covid and then dropped back down
>>11621018wrong suit for angel though. that's the silver one that matches other figures but not the grey of uncanny x-force.
>>11621408It never went back down by me.
>>11621373I'm not sesrching for threads you can't be bothered to properly link you piece of shit.
>>11621451msrp certainly yo-yo'd. sucks about your local shops
>>11621457I'm talking Target and Walmart. Everywhere. Once it went up to $22 it stayed there. When did it ever go back down to $20?
>>>11621454 not understanding how to stick a post number into the URL at the archive or even just putting it into the search baryou're probably one of those retards who thought prices would go back down.>>11621458yeah, i wonder wtf that guy is talking about. Prices never went back down in the main stores.Maybe he's a shut in who hasn't left his house since covid, so he's only knows amazon's algorithm based pricing and has never heard of MSRP.
>>11621470Says the retard who couldn't do it himself in the first place. I know how to do it myself, doesn't mean I'm going to. Learn to link your sources you lazy pile of shit. >Maybe he's a shut in who hasn't left his house since covid,Painfully ironic coming from you subs.
>>11621458>>11621470you two are retards with bad memories. black widow wave hit stores in 2020 at a higher price before they went back down to $19.99 before the 2021 price increase to $22.99
>>11621488I didn't get anything from that wave but I don't recall it hitting higher than $20. Stuff didn't start increasing in price until 2021. Must've just been your shit hole and your greedy local shops.
>>11621491yeah man my greedy local shop like target. shipping container rates caused everything to go up in 2020. where the fuck were you? in a coma?
>>11621495I never said prices on things didn't fluctuate fagatron, just that I never saw the wave you mentioned above $20. Sorry that it bunches your panties or gets a rock in your shoe or whatever has got you so upsetti spaghetti. Jesus Christ, some of you get so personally fucking offended at goddamn nothing.
>>11621496you just typed double what i posted in an attempt to call *me* upset. call's coming from inside the house bucko
>>11621507I'm sorry that three sentences is too much for you bro.
>>11621488I looked it up and i saw nobody bitch in our archive, nor when using google. Whereas 2021 is full of people bitching about price increases.Either YOUR memory is shit or you're in Canadia or somewhere shitty.Still, point is people expected those prices to down again and these people are retards. Understandably, it's why people are ditching buying them now. People have a breaking point on where the price exceeds its value. One dollar more over that price is one dollar too much, even if it is a dollar more.... but in this case, it's 8 bucks more
>they've been arguing all night.Jesus. Didn't realize posting my X-Force lineup would cause this. My bad. >>11621409Funny enough it has been so long since I reread UXF that I didn't even realize Warren had a different suit from the Kyle and Yost run until I picked the actual book back up. It'd be cool for Hasbro to do his actual UXF look with even more elaborate looking wings but I won't hold my breath.
Will you dimwits stop already, everyone knows price increases are shit at this point and that they have been happening for years. Yes, Hasbro is a shitty company. Yes, retards will still keep on buying overpriced figures. Yes, addicts will look for excuses to justify their shitty spending behaviours. We all know it.Motherfuckers like you always get caught up in autistic details
>>11621552>everything is shit because it upsets me!!!!
>>11621552Get a grip dude. Just because you've been priced out doesn't mean everyone else has. Stop melting down and just get what you can afford.
>>11620782Probably not, I think what he needs is a alt head where the hair is angled so you can have him look up in a flying pose, that or a alt hair piece like GI Joe does, the hair always locks his head down even with the Mafex.
>>11621551Team/group shots like that tend to trigger anons that can't afford or don't have the toys in the photo. There's way too many overly angry jealous cucks on this board. Makes it no fun to share pics.
>>11621457MSRP never yoyoed. It went to 22.99 and then to 24.99. Nothing else.
>>11621632Untrue. It went to $27.99 just recently too.
>>11621551Your team remains...incomplete.
>>11621664I was talking during the period he cited--of course they went to 27.99 now. Also never use in store prices, only Hasbro Pulse, that is the MSRP. Individual stores may be fast or slow to adopt price increases.
>>11621671Eh, I'll live. He was drawn with this suit in a few random panels so I'll justify it that way. >>11621673>I was talking during the period he citedI know, I was just being a goof.
i like this guy
I'm starting to see MLs cheaper on ebay than on Amazon. That's quite bizarre.
>>11621551>posting my X-Force lineup would cause this. My bad.You monster. I still haven't recovered from the new X-23 being lame, that is my favourite X-Force period.
Who would've thought Power Princess was more desirable a figure than Warbird? I didn't, despite the Wonder Woman angle. It doesn't make sense to make a 6" WW anyway when the DC lines right now are 7" and when Mattel gets the license, they will make their own WW.
>>11621741I passed on the new X-23/Warpath pack. I enjoyed the Kyle and Yost run, but I definitely was more a fan of Uncanny. I didn't feel like rebuying X-23 since I have the first one already. I kinda want Warpath, but not enough to pay full price, maybe if it goes on sale at some point. Plus we're missing various members from the Kyle and Yost team still, Vanisher, Elixer, the X-Force version of Wolfsbane, so I'm fine with what I have.
>>11621750Kinda wild she's sold out on BBTS and Pulse, while Carol is still in stock on BBTS. Both are still up at EE, but EE sucks. I didn't bother checking Gaystop because their website throws up access denied errors after navigating a page or two deep.
>>11621824I'm still not understanding the collectors' angles on this. For one thing. Warbird was exclusive to Target and thus clearly made in lower quantities than PP, who was a normal release. Carol is also more popular a character than PP. Plus Warbird has better articulation and is sexier.This is truly perplexing to me. Everything points to Warbird should be selling more.
>>11621750almost like the MCU has done irreparable damage to carol danvers or something
>>11621852I don't think it has. People can compartmentalize MCU from comics if they started with comics. They look at MCU as an alt universe type thing that is irrelevant to the comics.
>>11621849Maybe they overproduced Warbird in response to no one being able to get her compared to Power Princess. Also, I think PP was a sleeper hit that sold out before a lot of people realized she was good.
>>11621862>People can compartmentalize MCU from comics if they started with comicsunfortunately, the comic creators can't and don't.The comic publisher pushes that live action synergy so much that they even ruined their XMen brand because the live action movies/shows werent completely in their control. IT's why the current XMen are so shit that they've basically been bad guys for over a decade now.
>>11621925That hasn't been true for like 7 years
>>11621925I just ignore the shit I don't like frokmco,pics and basically have my own canon that I follow. It's better that way. Basically Marvel officially ended for me in 2016 with Secret Wars. No need to go further than that tbqh. Only thing I kinda like from post SW is including Miles 8in 616, at least in theory, in execution not so much. If they didn't glaze him up so much as better than Peter and made him more a Spider-Man in training that is learning from Peter. I like the idea of legacy heroes. Wally West will always be my Flash and Morrison's Batman and Robin era may be my all time favorite era of Batman, so, when done well, I'm a sucker for legacy stuff. Too had Marvel is run by retards, faggots and cucks, you have the abysmal state we're in now. Like I said, it's better to just say Marvel ended with SW and ignore everything else after. Especially the X-Men stuff. I'm sorry but they ruined Hickman's X run by not letting him finish and letting the other shoe to drop on Krakoa like he was planning. Instead the homos at Marvel took the commune hugfest hippie bullshit to heart instead of face value like Hickman intended and made it the status quo. I'll never forgive them for what they've done to the X-Men. And I thought the post AvX era was bad, Krakoa was worse.
>>11621931To be fair, i haven't actually read XMEn in over a decade due to them fucking it up thanks to Fox not wanting to play ball (I'll read a single issue or two every once in a while or peak at a /co/ thread but nothing long term), but XMEn has been treated as evil fucks by Marvel since the Inhumans storyline. Before that, they tried to explain shit away, like it totally wasn't their fault or they tried to make up for their mistakes, but the Orgy Island storyline that ended the other year... they're still assholes.>>11621938Yeah, AvX would have made them major assholes, but it was only a subsect AND they at least admitted they fucked up or tried to make up for it. Now all the XMEn are unrepentant assholes and if there's an exception, who the fuck is it? Artie? Some joke character like Doop?Also, Miles was never good. Fucking retread. Characters like Spiderman shouldn't have legacy/clones characters. It's like the Punisher or Daredevil. Their situation is too unique and engrained into the specific character. Yeah, there can be wannabes, but they should all be failures and not be an on-going/replacement. Why make a special character into "but now anyone can be spiderman"?Batman Inc was shit, brother. I never finished that, btw, and i hope it ended with them all dying.
>>11621959>Also, Miles was never goodLike I said, I like the idea of him more than anything. I liked what they did with him in the first Insomniac game, before they completely when off the rails with his solo game and the god awful 2nd game. I'm still salty about that game. >Characters like Spiderman shouldn't have legacy/clones characters. It's like the Punisher or Daredevil. Their situation is too unique and engrained into the specific character.Maybe it's because I'm getting older, but I totally get the legacy hero thing. When it's done right, like with Wally or DickBats, it's great. How Marvel actually handles Miles, is not good in the slightest. >Yeah, there can be wannabes, but they should all be failures and not be an on-going/replacementWith Spidey, he wouldn't get replaced, just have a younger pal with similar powers that he can mentor every once in a while. Kinda like what they're doing with Spider-Boy, although I admit I haven't read much stuff he's actually appeared in so he could be terrible for all I know.>Batman Inc was shit, brother. I never finished that, btw, and i hope it ended with them all dying.Shit taste. Batman ended with Batman Inc and everything subsequently might as well be fanfiction. Snyders run is insanely overrated, although the art is good. Lmao at Kings run. And I can't even keep track anymore. Joker War? Failsafe? Fuck off with that shit lmao. Although I do admit I was reading World's Finest for a while because of that god tier Dan Mora art.
Silver surfer arrived. I forgot id ordered it. Can't say im overly excited to open since its my 3rd one, but the metallic is really nice so this may be my new galactus herald.
>>11621925What in the heck is going on in that image?
>>11622033Nta but Miles will always inexorably lead to stuff like that "god awful 2nd game" because he is a Trojan horse, made to be inoffensive at first and then destroy all he touches afterwards. Yet somehow his figures still sell. Perplexing
>>11622060Eh, like I said, I just ignore what I don't like so I just don't read any of his books, or really any current Marvel tbqh. It's all really bad. But I still like the idea of legacy heroes and they can work when written well.
>>11622053Bendis inserting his Jewess waifu into everything again.
>>11621925How was this tribal racism allowed at woke Marvel?
>>11622064Anything can work if it's well written, like most Morrison comics, but the concept itself is still shit.A good concept can still be done well even by mediocre writers, like Spiderman or Batman, and other long lasting characters. They're so simple that it's very hard to fuck them up, hence the complexity for bad shit like Miles Morales or Batman Inc to even exist.And characters like Wally West worked because Barry Allen himself was barely even a character. Great concept, but no one really did anything with the character, thus an ACTUAL character like Wally West being able to step in to replace him. Shit like DickBats just didn't really work, even Morrison knew that. IT's fine to do for a storyline, but not something that's ongoing like Miles.>>11622053movie synergy
