Oh yeh, the ML sentinel is the better of the 2, but you struck the nail on the head, as most sentinels are in the $75-100 range on ebay + shipping so it's far from a cheap figure. From time to time I've seen sellers selling 2,3,4 etc sentinels in a lot and worked out cheaper then MU. MU is easily available and cheaper, but not by a lot. I'd personally love to have like 5-6 of them, but inorder for that to happen need more $ and more room.

I was looking at cc pics of the new waves of MU, and forget the character name but this guy's headsculpt if painted blue would make a spot on beast!

yeah. BIN. i didn't HAVE to sell it, but i did anyway. it'll help pay for the wife's bday dinner tonight.

it was the last of my MU MOC. i figured why not. i have an extra AA (loose) that I want to commission the "X-Force treatment" by a kick @ss artist.

i honestly thought i would always keep the card, but the longer i'm in this hobby, the easier it is to get over things and "let go."

I have a lot of negative feelings toward Hasbro for cutting corners (constantly) but this is a step in the right direction to represent a conscience understanding of why toys/characters are so important in our lives. Nostalgia and quality, that is what keeps this habit going.

splendidly well written and acute.

evocative. thought provoking.

bravo.

I taught high school juniors/seniors. I'm also a writer, so I applaud good shit when I read it.

I'm sure your college papers are astute.

I think they were hitting on you.

Like Compound Hulk was on HTS. Ok cool. Although hopefully I can hit one of the CC's up this year...

Whoa that's awesome. Looking forward to this, when is this wave slated to come out? Whoa not only Beast, but Nova as well. Sounds sick. Although not a surprise on the multiple Spider-Man variants
Hmm only 2 good CP's coming out though...which is great for my wallet!!

I might as well make a list of what I want from MU 2012 since I'm done doing work for the day.

Singles-
1) Psylocke
2) Beast (Astonishing)
3) Hulk
4) Kraven
5) Ult Spidey
6) Kang
7) Punisher
8) She-Hulk
9) Kang
10) Paper Bag Spidey
11) Jubilee
12) Hercules
13) Puck
14) Medusa
15) Professor X

15 figs @ $9 = $135 on MU singles

Comic Packs-
1) Sinister/Gambit
2) Antman/Moonknight

2 packs @ $18 ea = $36 on MU CP's

Masterworks-
1) Foom = $60

= $231 total

+ HOPEFULLY a MODOK GB set @ $30 (in case of inflation)

..and then I'm sure there will be a team pack or two that I'll need that hasn't been announced yet.

Dude you know it, haha all I can say is if it doesn't happen I'll make it happen, buy kitbashing the new beast with the head of Blastar and sculpting the rest. Reading glasses I could snag from ebay from a 1:18th scale doll kit, and the labcoat I'd try and find 1 off the ML beast or make it myself.

There's no pictures of the variant. Where do they get their information? I bet you could pretty easily write that up anywhere...

[Boba Fettuccini]

I want paper bag spidey for lolz. He's probably gonna be rare as hens teeth though.

Curto tends to have "insider information" although some claim he doesn't. The variants listed have been up for months and he justed added the 2 packs a couple of days ago
