Well now i am mad that ONE it is that gamora and TWO that i was wrong about it!!!

It is sad that they gave us a fan poll just to guage how well future release will be recieved. Just like Facebook doing research through the Rainbow profile picture, companies these days get realtime data by hiding what they are after in Marketing ploys. I don't really mind it in this case, because it gives all the people who voted for anyone but Dormammu a chance to get what they wanted. The funny part is how since Gamora "Won" she will most likely be the last to be released, where as all the "losers" will be flooding the pegs early next year.

But hey at least we now understand what we are looking at when it comes to fan polls, which means Legends have a lot to look forward to.

Choice is the real enemy. Hasbro knew who and what they planned. I do the same with children, letting them think they "chose" whatever it was that I was planning on doing anyway. It is like that scene in Avengers in Germany. Hasbro is Loki and the fans are the people....KNEEL!!!

It is exactly what it is supposed to be I guess. I am not always happy with their choices or their products, but I am grateful to part of the community.

I think the MU version of The Vision just went up, again.

I really think that Northstar and Colosonaught are ghosts. They say yes, but the waves look pretty full and busy already. Something will have to be pushed back.

Two Packs return, cool... but how much each?

Agreed, I'm thinking 25 if anything. I may get the packs or not, I wonder if they'll come with a comic like the old ones did. Also kind of surprise that the MU Vision went up considering people can wait for this new one? Then again maybe for the card as well and it's under the MU line...

China's emerging middle class has seen an average pay increase in the last six years of nearly 400% (as an example, Chinese consumer desire for gold jewelry, something the average Chinese citizen could not afford ten years ago, is one of the primary drivers of increased gold prices recently) that coupled with the slump in the US economy has lead to a sort of "leveling out" of the previous standard of living disparity between the US and China that gave us cheep labor to produce cheep goods. My guess the next decade will see the factories move to India where you still have a large pool of people willing to work for next to nothing and our prices for consumer good will drop again.

Yup that's why the mainlander's (it's what I like to call them) are so dang rich now which is absurd. That's why I've been noticing a flux in stuff being made in different countries like Vietnam. Heck the latest CW Devastator box set is made from there haha. Love it!

I didn't realize it was 2 different Hyperions very interesting.

I don't know even know what to say to this lins anymore. I think it's clear my future involvement with it will be minimal.

Yeah I'm kind of thinking of getting out of this line, but eh, as long as I can pay 10 or less for them I'm cool.

Haha love that comment, great point though, but isn't the street walker outfit in an exclusive set, that could be why...while the 3.75 trying to cater to both adults and kids...

[En Sabah Nerd]

I almost forgot about the new Vision. I am glad it's the Young Avengers Jonas design instead so people with the original can keep the distinction but other people, myself included, can actually have a Vision in our collections.

I once had a vision, and in that vision, Vision had a vision...

I'm assuming those aren't up for grabs, right?

Yeah, I don't think the street walker outfit will make it to 3.75 retail. Shows too much skin. Legends is getting the figure in an exclusive, but it is being packaged wearing a giant cloth poncho that hides her entire body and a fishnet design has been added to cover her open chest.

[wolverine2281]

haven't been around lately so not sure what all of the Gamora posts were about but are you all talking about the 3.75 Gamora in the White outfit with the Sword coming out with Rage and Living Laser?

One of her costumes uses fishnets. At least one of her classic ones did.

It's so hard to find Ladypool and Championpool loose for a decent price. Speaking of the Deadpool Corps, does anyone have a Funko Pop Deadpool Taco Truck so I can see how it looks against regular 3 3/4" figures?
