That being said, the fact that the person with the worst customizing skills, on this or any forum, has all the parts, and could make a 100% identical version of that figure, a figure that is supposed to be an exclusive, and did cost 60 bucks, but is now 40, (which is 3 times retail cost btw) is sad.

Xforce AA and classic nick fury were awesome mail aways, not particularly easy to reproduce, unique packaging (for fury) and just overall good productions.

If hasbro expects me to pay well above retail, and wait weeks for it to show up, then I expect them to give me an awesome product, and in my eyes, that doom aint it. They used the Rogers head, which looks nothing like Mr Victor Von Doom for Christs sake!

For those who like that version of doom, I understand the want to have it, but I just personally feel like It's a sub par effort for a overly expensive figue.

If that figure was in the psylocke wave, I may have maybe just bought it in the last month or so, after having passed on it 1000 times, just because there was nothing new on the pegs.

If some one has an extra they want to sell me for 15 bucks then I'm down, but I wouldn't pay anything over that for that figure.

Thank you for your consideration, it's an honor just to be nominated

LORD MARVEL · 08-02-2012, 09:21 AM

heard that... carnal

Reaver Strike · 08-02-2012, 09:28 AM

So is the option for AA still available for the digital comics? I was looking at the site and it seems one could still get AA.

Symbiote · 08-02-2012, 09:31 AM

Man I'm tempted to cancel my bbts wave 19 preorder so I can have early dibbs on wave 19 from that other place. Tempting, very tempting.

I'm hoping this friday will have new mu wave at retail. On the lookout for miles morales spidey.

i really wasnt saying anything about making customs. Also there still worth 150$ u can only sub once per year. So that what makes them worth so much. im not saying i like the figure. Im just saying its worth alot and his eyes are not the same as roger the color.

Reaver Strike · 08-02-2012, 09:33 AM

Has anyone seen the A vs XM comic packs? Which store exclusives are they?

I only saw the Doom and Rhino packs at TRU yesterday. I forgot about the Magneto pack. I'm really only interested in Magneto. I picked up the Doom pack though.

lol doom, cape aim body and warlock head

shortysben · 08-02-2012, 09:46 AM

Let me weigh in on the doom sub fig.

I think it was a fair choice to use as a sub figure, b/c its a figure that is easy to reproduce, but in package (rather in box) it looks pretty swanky...but it is ALSO a figure no one really has to have! So in that respect it was nice, because lets face it if it were ARES <---(or insert any other completely new figure that everyone HAD to have) there would be a tyranical uprising!

Also got lucky today, drove to 3 tru's, 2 wallys, and 4 targets, and came home with the only RETAIL comic pack I wanted JUGGS and Colossus! Passed on the others, also passed on every new ML (series one and two, just b/c I dont collect ML's)...also passed on another Shockwave (FOC), dont collect those either...

And finally the hardest pass for me today was the TMNT sewer playset...the box is HUGE! I couldnt not justify 120$ for a playset...

1andonly5711 · 08-02-2012, 09:49 AM

did anyone besides me get all 7 two packs?

Yeah I'm well aware of the kit bash. Just didn't feel like painting it. I've got a GR body and a cape to use. But I didn't want to use the head from my only Warlock.

daking181 · 08-02-2012, 09:54 AM

evil bay is a grimy place......that is all
