I know, but I just couldn't resist getting Bishop. The prices ARE insane though but they just showed up, they'll get lower.

Ugh, I can't reward that behavior, not when I've had such good luck with HTS in the past.

Wich vehicle is that?

And also, I don't know who this "Toys On Fire" on Amazon is, but the prices set for his MI are in the "heinous" range.

They are. Even though I caved and got one of them they are still really high. But to me it's good because we have links to the product now and, for me, I can put them on my wishlist and price watch until they hit a more acceptable range where I can justify getting more than just Bishop.

If past indications are anything, they'll either stay in this price range for a while and then fall to normal levels, or fall to normal levels in the next month or so. Unless of course there's a super rare one which I guess Bishop/Black Cat being one per case could end up being.

Minus Bishop that come with his guns..why not buy them from our friendly china shops on ebay..or do you guys collect carded ?

[ukmu]

the Chineese ones are BELOW retail (in pounds anyway) here. I dont plan on really getting any from this wave though.

Agreed, although man this is the longest I've seen them have it at coming soon in the longest...hope I don't miss out on these.

Messing around with my daughter I decided to take some shots. My make shift Hydra Army. I need more Yellow Web gear. Gonna have my sis paint them all Hydra Green very soon. The gun is from Marauder & is the Type 95 QBZ. It fits their long arms perfectly. Last pic is a very rough version of one of my many figures I'm currently working on. Bowman of the Hydra Four. I'm taking some creative liberties on them so if you don't like it sorry. I'm very tempted to make and Iron Skull because the Kitbashed Skull I have leg is a tad off. So he always stands a bit funny.

What G I Joe figure is that you use for your hydra army?

My rather expensive Bishop figure just shipped from the third party seller this afternoon. It's USPS coming from NY, the estimated delivery is the 17-24 but honestly? I wouldn't be surprised if I see it by mid week, the 10th or so.

I know, still extremely high prices, but if you're paying that much, well, it's good to hope you'll possibly get it sooner than advertised.

Just FYI if anyone else is desperate enough to get one of those figures right away.

[kylactus]

how pissed would you be if you see him at retail before yours gets to you?

Eh, I would just chalk it up to win some lose some. And hopefully they'd have the rest of the wave at standard retail prices.

I'd also probably pick him up so I could either sell him to an arker at retail price plus shipping, or figure out a way to cannibalize him for customs (need to start doing that more than the one or two I've done.)

Sinodolls, yaksanagezhou, viperskingdom to name a few.

Ok, I know the outlook for 3.75" Marvel figures has been a bit grim lately, and that has most of us a bit down, but I wanted to throw a question out there. looking at the up coming wave of MI It seems there is more of a classic theme going, I'd say 70's-90's. going forward would you prefer more classic versions of characters, or there newer looks? Me, I'm old school I would like to see more of the 60's-70's era looks and characters like Toad, green Quick Silver, powerhouse and any number of the 60's era armored villains, like a first appearance titanium man. but there's also a lot of contemporary costumes I like (Rouge, Havoc, Cyclopes, Magneto, Falcon/cap, skinny old Steve Rogers Red onslaught) The big problem is it seems that the entire look of any given character changes week to week now! so no one's locked into one costume long enough anymore to really establish a particular look anymore.

I'm half hoping that they scrub the MI line entirely and shift to a Secret Wars theme.(even though I'm not really liking where I think SW is going to go in the comics) I think it would be the best way to get various versions of everyone.

[Captain Nash]

With the exception of a very few I'd prefer the classic 70's/80's/90's looks, but not necessarily the first appearance looks. For instance was thrilled when we got bomber jacket Rogue. Any other Rogue before that would have been a letdown.

I will say though I'll gladly take a more modern Dr. Strange over the iconic look. But he's a very rare exception.

[IcantBseriouS]

For those who thought/think new 52 is bad. I have a feeling Marvel is going to make us just as sad.

[samsson37]

I agree on the older looks, but i do want Ms/Captain Marvel, and i love the new hawkeye look...some im torn on like if we got a graviton, undies on the outside or all blackoutfit...hmmmm
and the Secret wars thing....idk how I feel about it. marvel in genreal has me annoyed...books ive invested in elektra, black widow, superior foes, she-hulk all gone...it seems like the only books that needed to be read was avengers and new avengers to learn about the incusions and how we get to SW. anything else im like damn its all for nothing i wasted alot of time on stories that now have no weight smh.

[Primacron]

Anybody think we might see a remold of the new Beast figure at Toy Fair? If so who do you reckon it might be?

[ukmu]

100% classic foe me....

Sasquatch or M'Baku the Man-Ape is all I can think of off the top of my head. M'Baku might make sense with Black Panther getting a new push from Marvel now.

Yeah I could believe those two, Wendigo could also be a possibility or even Werewolf by Night though I think he would more likely be a con exclusive than mainline.
