I wanna get them all now....
But damn, I'm way to wrapped up in MU, I think maybe I should just sell all my old ML and the SDCC pack and have extra MU money...

I don't know if I'm trying to convince you but I'll tell you why I don't.
-I think that because of the size, you'll be losing out on a lot of room for them and other things youcollect.
-They're more expensive. The 3.75" guys are getting more expensive, Legends will follow. Also, the older figures are quite pricey.

I was getting into DCUC for a while, got out of it (still have a few) and started buying the Alex Ross Justice figures. DC Direct never finished that line (shocker ) but I had to stay out of DCUC. Bottom line, if it makes you happy, get 'em.

That's one thing I can't do. It sounds like such a cool idea but my wallet would ache. Also, distribution is bad as it is, I imagine you have to case order a lot? I love your collection, btw.

[LapuLapu]

@ walking deadpool damn!! Now thats a collection!!

@ peteparker I sent you a pm

I still need a TTT but probably have nothing you need worth trading.

This. Nothing personal to ML collectors, but I've met some pretty nasty people who argue with me about market value and all that when I've just showed any small amount of curiousity. At a swap meet once, my friend asked about a McSpidey and an Astonishing Wolverine ML's, my friend has no idea about the whole market price and such, so when he was given a huge total, he was surprised and politely said he couldn't afford that and walked away. Upon walking away, the dealer said to his friend: "F*cking poor ass losers, they don't get ML." So I gave him the bird and told him to come at me bro. Luckily things didn't escalate quickly Ron Burgundy style. While there are some freakin' awesome ML collectors, the line is way to scalped and around alot of parts, poorly distributed. Makes it hard to enjoy collecting.

They have some pretty nice figures that're freakin' amazing, but seems you gotta be willing to pay top dollar for them to own. That's fine and dandy for those who can, shit I could if I wanted as I'm pretty well off, but why though? I can't justify such high prices for toys, I only lay down top dollar for electronics that help my occupation. The whole market value thing is lost on me. That wasn't the deciding factor to when deciding between MU or ML. Scale was.

if i do pick one up i try not to spend over 20 on one, my local card shop/toyshop have a few and the most expensive one ive seen so far was like 35 or so, there more of a card collecting shop so they dont pay that much attention to the toys they have.

That's not bad, if I had to play catch up, I'd go that route. Luckily the Fiance-Lady has everyone she wants, so the only ones she's collectively getting are the ones that have been hitting retail, but they're hella scarce around these parts due to goddamn scalpers and TRU has em for like over $19 bucks.

I collected ML from the start to the end of the Toybiz run. I would say they're hit or miss. When they hit they where amazing. Great articulation, good paint aps, great likeness. Some of my all time favs were 90s Beast, Colossus, both tiger striped and brown Wolverine, Juggernaut, Sabretooth, Bishop, Iron Fist and Power-Man, the 6 pack Spidey, Green Goblin, and Lizard, Dr. Octopus, and wave 3 Thor. I could go on and on. So many Awesome figures.

But when they missed, it was disgusting. Lady Deathstrike, Zemo, Cyclopes, Angel, Falcon, Scarlet Witch, Movie Jean. Again, I could go on and on.

I'm a consistency man, I like all my figures to be in scale and in a similar style. Really easy to notice when they're not at 6".

But still the same issues plague MU. Just not as much. I can deal with a crappy figure here and there. But when it's a character you really like and want, and he comes out all messed up it can make you want to cry.

I like that things seem to improve as time goes on with Hasbro. They're cheap as hell, but the have some innovative ways of doing things. All the soft plastic accessories they use instead of making new sculpts works really well and is a plus for customizers. The fact that they keep on adding new articulation to sculpts. Still waiting for an ab crunch. But the best thing about the line in my opinion is the scale. saves so much space and fit's with all the other lines and opens things up for those wanting to go deeper and deeper into the craze that can be collecting. I'm looking at you WalkingDeadpool.

So to get to my point, I sold off 98% of my ML collection and with the exception of missing a few from time to time (Power-Man + iron Fist) I really could care less. MU is an Awesome line. It's like meeting a great lady after you've had your heart broken. You find something good enough and you just move on. Sure you think about her sometimes, but that shit passes quick when you got something sweet to appreciate.

[wolverine2281]

Movie Jean was horrible. But she was also Hasbro

[KungfuGrip]

Not quite Snail lol, my Joe collection trumps my MU collection but it's certainly not "Like A Boss" status that some of these Arkers and Tankers are on. Workin on it though

[Scythe]

I saw movie Jean once, that was it. Once.

It's one of those:

"Hey, Scythe. Wanna see it again?"


"Nah, I'm good, thanks though."

Moments.

Teehee.
