I am not interested in the free figure, although sir you are a saint for doing this. I just wanted to point out that your post is an illumination on the search. We all look, wait, run and do whatever it takes to get our 'Vision', but it usually takes time.

I'd like to thank you for doing this for all the MU guys and gals on Toyark, it's a mighty fine gesture.

Take care
SL

^ You're very kind, Thank you!

The answer to my question is why not??? So I humbly ask you...
WHY???

Yes, I want to know exactly why do you want it, why?? I want to know what VISION means to you, I want to know what your (MOC or Loose) collection is like without VISION? I want to humbly (don't be shy) know what you economic situation is? I want to know how hard it is for you to get VISION? ETC... Be creative, but most importantly, be honest!

Think about it, think hard. I will give you until Saturday, April 12, 2014 to tell me by either posting you answer here in these thread (which I prefer) or PM me your answer as a last resort but don't be shy to post it on this thread my friends!

I promise you I will read every post very carefully and when I am done, I will choose the best one of them all (there is no right or wrong answer my friends, be yourself and speak the truth) and the chosen one will be rewarded dearly...

Yes, the winner will get a brand spanking new Marvel Universe 3.75' Non-variant, original, number 006, series 2 VISION figure... FREE!!!
Why you ask? Because I freaking feel like it that's why! (plus I have 3, LMAO). Consider this your X-Mas in July (or in this case late March, Lol)

TWO RULES: 1) It is open to current TOYARK Members ONLY. No new TOYARK Members, (sorry, it's only fair). Only current existing member (and I know who you are). 2) If you already have one don't be that guy or gal and try to get another one. Help your ARKERS out and don't participate if you already have one please (and I know who's who because I read older posts my friends).

And here is your MOC VISION!...

I post it again for a new page...

Oh thanks bro, but I think this one is wave 21 series 5. I thought you meant the wave 1 003 one.

@3233rafael

If I could ask a question after reading some of your recent posts....how many MU figs do you own?

You must have one of the biggest MU collections to date, I'm very impressed

Thanks, the ARK has given me so much useful info. It's my way of giving back.

[kylactus]

Damn just read the posts! man that is balls out the coolest thing I've seen anyone do in a long time!

I'll give it a shot, as Vision is literally the only MU figure I don't have...

as you know I'm a MOC collector, my goal originally was to complete the entire MU series at retail (hunting in the wild).
I've had to go outside my parameters only twice (winter soldier and Death mask Archangel) I'm not rich, but this is my only real "hobby" so I have some leeway with the wife, but 200 for vision on the Bay might get me murdered in my sleep, so I've held off thus far. I've always been a marvel fan and when this line came out it resonated with me, I plan to keep my collection in tact and pass it on to my son when he's old enough to appreciate it. if you look at my old posts you'll see I have an entire room of my home (the concrete and steel panic room with a fire door) devoted to just this collection, so he'll have a good home, and he will be displayed separate from the rest of the numbered line, on a plaque with your name on it! and your generosity has inspired me, anyone needs a 90's jean grey, Electra, yello jacket, or darkhawk MOC, PM me.... there free to a good home... or a really good customizer.

Oh wow, now that's interesting. I think you're right and there's a variant. I will find it.

[skywarrped]

Saw the new Marvel Infinite series at the Great Hills Target in Austin today. I picked up Grim Reaper, Hulk and Hyperion along with the only Wasp that was there. There was still one or two of each figure from the wave. I didn't see anything at the Lakeline Mall Target.

Help your ARKERS out and don't participate if you already have one please (and I know who's who because I read older posts my friends).

As Iceman stated, definitely a class act. Very classy indeed! To me the reason he is most wanted is because that's him in his standard uniform and it represents him as an Avenger. His phasing version is fine, but it just don't fully represent him as a character. It would be the same as if they had only released the classic Spider-Man looking figure in a very small quantity and then only released a variant of him afterwards. That Spider-Man figure would be through the roof value-wise. Plus the paint job on Vision is very awesome indeed. I'm still of a mind that he'll be re-released in one form or another and I'll be able to get one for my loose collection. But I'm trying to get a complete MOSC set of the Marvel Universe series and I've got my first baby on the way so it's hard to justify paying so much for a figure. I've been a lifelong Marvel fan and this is the only series I plan on collecting complete and sealed. I know I'll get him eventually. I was just waiting for a re-release so the price on the original will go down.

Anyway, you've made some very generous offers to people on this board before and that says a lot about your character. Your passion for these figures definitely shows in the posts you make as well. I know I don't post very often, but I'm always reading this thread. I hope whoever gets this figure appreciates it as much as you do!

[cidman911]

Best of luck on whoever wins Vision.

I like it but never been a huge fan or read much about him to participate. Much respect to 3233rafael for this contest...I love people like you. Very giving. That's dope.

Lots of sightings at Target. California & Texas are the 2 states I saw so far.
AND I was right! Target is using the same DCPI as Universe. That will not help to find the new ones. It will only tell you if they have something in stock. You can try to call & ask by character name. Hopefully you get someone competent on the other end then.

I don't post here often but I'd like to chime in. Also, I'm not in it for the free figure as I have the phasing one. It's a wonderful act that you are giving away a free figure for an Toyarker. I hope it goes to a person who is in need of one and not to profit off the free one.
I commend you, bravo sir.
Now, if you happen to find a ML Cap series Black Widow, I'd like to participate in a freebie or buy one outright to complete my movies Avenger team.

I know you don't post on this thread often but you are a current member of the ARK so if you need this vision by all means participate. That goes for all, I know who you are and just because you don't post on this thread doesn't mean you can't enter. You're welcome to join if you really want it.

Hey Raph, I know you are the crazy variant hunter. I'm just curious, do you consider the original first wave figures (the Shield Files are in a plastic sleeve) and the revisions (no plastic sleeves for any figure after wave 2 or 3--I can't remember) as variants?

*I mean no offense by crazy variant hunter--I mean CRAZY VARIANT hunter, not CRAZY variant HUNTER.

Lol, funny you ask. Believe it or not, I used to, you're going to laugh but at one point even the sticker that the family dollar would use on their figures I would consider variants before. Even the multi language packings or the nick fury stickers at first thanks to my OCD I guess but I stopped. It was just too much so now just the list I posted is what I collect.

[AndreWebs]

Finally got them, I love my uncle for send me this! the next week he'll send me Wasp and Grim Reaper

Man, You are the kind of person that a lot of collectors need, really great and nice thing you do, you sir, have my respect!
