I saw it once, passed it up, than couple days later my friend saw, I told him to get it but he didn't. Next time we went back was gone. Ended up getting it on from Arker Andy.

I bought the Mary Jane at Retail as a joke for my wife because she was bitchin' that I never "involve" her with my toy collection and now I'm glad I did because I have it MOC. (And now my wife is my biggest asset when it comes to toy hunting). I would have never in a million years thought I wud get that lucky and a crappy figure like her (Mary Jane not my beautiful wife) would be so rare. & I agree with those that say Astral Strange. HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE.

Do u want that baby hope piece? If u don't, i don't mind buying it off you..

I think clear Strange will be the rare one for 2011.

The worst part is when he first showed in my area, I saw 5 one the pegs at a Target. I thought they looked great, but figured it was like Vision where the solid was the rare one so I passed, never saw them again. I need one for my collection too.

Mary Jane too, only saw her once.

Nope never saw her once, she's still missing from my collection, and I half want/don't want her, the completist in me wants her but the artist in me says what an ugly figure.

I've picked up 6 cables so far. 1 for myself the rest for customs. Only 1 baby hope so far. I left more than a few hopless cables behind

I think anything given enough time and the right conditions any figure can gain value and appreciate, however some will take longer then others. I mean in the shorttime we see the going prices on vision,warpath, mail aways, sdcc/nycc items. I mean 20 years from now series 1 xforce wolverine will be worth a mint to a collector who wants it moc or wants it bad enough. I can see the new FFF figure to be highly sought after and hard to find. I say this based on the fact I've never seen any of the masterworks figures locally.

All of these:

Marvel 3.75 pegwarmers part 2 - Toy Discussion at Toyark.com

So you better run out and get them now.

Don't forget about Juggernaut. He's never really anywhere. I've only seen him twice I think at retail, ever. I remember I got him the same day as ghost rider

IMO Mary Jane is the absolute worst MU figure... she really is hideous... you pretty much only buy her for the awesome cardart. LOL. I'm glad I passed on it a bazillion times, I don't even care how rare she is now.

I think only new collectors trying to play catch-up still need a Juggernaut though... he was 2 per case in wave 8 and I think he was re-released in 2 revision cases immediately after... he was very pretty easy to find IMO; it is just that he sold very well.

behindthemask · 12-31-2011, 03:54 PM

plus they're making an unmasked Juggy in 1 of the rumored upcoming 2 packs so if you missed him first time around you can get him again.

quipp209 · 12-31-2011, 11:32 PM

You know who I never seen that's a little under radar captain Britain I never saw him I git one but that was from a friend who picked him up for me

I saw him at retail. 9.00. I picked him up from a Target couple weeks back. Glad I did. He's one of those ones I passed up on.

That's how u got to do it with hasbro crazy distribution if u see just get it because u might not see it agian

Marvel Kid · 01-01-2012, 12:07 AM

Cable with Hope will be the rarest one here for 2011. White Doctor Strange will be the second rarest. Both versions of Cable is not even release at retail here in Canada.. So Cable with Hope will definately be the rarest in my opinion... If anyone doesn't want their baby Hope piece for their Cable, please pm me.

Mary Jane's shirt made me laugh the first time I saw it, cuz it is just ridiculous. The dog that comes with the figure is totally not necessary. However, I like the face sculpt for MJ. I say every MU collector should own one if you own a MU spiderman.

So you think we'll get a Red Hulk, red She-Hulk and...er...Angel in his old scholl V-constume as variants?

I'm weighing in on I hope not for Red She-Hulk, unless they do a completely new head, Jen and Betty look nothing alike so there alter egos should have more then just a skin tone difference too, I'd rather see a ff variant she-hulk

Just wanted to add as well which new MU character will have a variant in 2012?
I say She Hulk...a red She-Hulk version of her...

2009 was Blade
2010 was Silver Age Vision

For 2011 I'm thinking X-23 and for variant Absorbing Man metal skin.

never seen him in houston at retail..never i say...My vote for 2011

I think everytime we declare a figure as "rare", we're shooting ourselves as collectors in the foot by driving up the value of the figure. :[
