On a positive note, that Midgard Serpent paint job looks amazing.

I was a bit shocked to see how much vehicles go for nowadays. The new X-Wing they just revealed for Rise of Skywalker is 100 bucks, which would seem pretty steep if I were a kid or even a parent.

I agree.
Hasbro released smaller scaled vehicles like Slave 1, Jedi Startighter, Hera’s A Wing & the Force Awakens X-Wing aimed & priced towards kids.

Now the Vintage Collection is geared towards collectors but $100 for either Luke’s or Poe’s is expensive.
I would have guessed $75 or $100 if it included a TVC Luke or Poe pilot.

Jackieboy,

Been buying Marauder stuff for a few years now. never had a problem with them. From my experience, as long as stuff is in stock, then on average it takes a couple of weeks from order placement to delivery here in the UK. Here's some of my 'Suits' but I've got three or four Agents of SHIELD plus both MIB figs lying around somewhere. For me the big plus is Female figures.

Prem1x · 10-08-2019, 01:35 PM

Oh snap. I'd actually buy a $100 vehicle for 3.75.

Too bad I hate Star Wars these days. I used to have all the Kenner stuff.

Yah hasbro is supermeth trying to get 100 for Figureless/droidless vehicle. Maybe....MAYBE....half that. Maybe.

But to have it *in place* of the existing poseable 3.75' line that's been a staple for decades really pisses me off.

I was going to say there's tons of options for in scale figures, but then I remembered you're overseas so not so easy to get for you folks. Aren't there local-ish stores that stock items without having to pay a crazy markup? The name Robot Kingdom sticks in my mind for some reason.

That said, there's a lot of in scale options if you (generic you) are willing to pay the $ for them. Sometimes it pays to crack open the wallet to get what you want.

I wouldn't, but that's just me. I'd pay that for a playset/modular diorama sort of thing that I could use as a display piece on a shelf.

Yeah I don't ever even pose my figs other than maybe once or twice for a photoshoot, if that. I just wanna get what I pay for. The fact that ReAction's 5 PoA crap is $18 now made me almost deuce myself.

No, it's really not. It's just moved from mainstream retail to niche markets which makes getting new product more expensive, but it's still out there. Everyone's budget is a personal thing. If you (generic you) find it cost prohibitive, that doesn't negate that the market still exists. There's plenty of items out there, they are just priced accordingly.

That's good to hear. I've been after a couple of them for a while but they vanished before I could order. I'll grab some when they re-stock for sure. On a related note, got notice the last head I need for this mega-batch has shipped so hopefully I can wrap these up this weekend and then put up the brushes for a while. Not sure how I'm going to post all of these. I don't really want to post 20+ individual pics...

Absolutely unnecessary, health is always most important thing! These are great though! Especially like the WS Cap and Worthy Cap.

Yep, bodies are Marauder male and female Agency Ops, head casts from Avacs Lab.

FYI: OLLIE'S has the Spider-Man Mega City Playset for $39.

While it is for their 5 inch figure line, it remains to be the largest Marvel playset to date i believe.

i bought one for a city backdrop and diorama for my MU and Marvelous JOEs.

Great deal! Definitely looks like it scales better for 1/18. Hope you share picks after it's set up.

I have found that most 5" playsets are just a bit small for 5" scale. I believe that is deliberate to save a little on the amount of plastic used. Bad for 5" collectors, good for us.

CCC.
