It's addicting as a mofo, especially when your trying to build a figure.

Cool, I know I got a great deal on Emma (LSC had her at $30 when I got her way back not too long after she was released.)

I don't usually get anything but from online but I have to say the LCS I use is extremely fair in their pricing.

I'm waiting for that to really have a true clearance price on it. 5 bucks off currently doesn't do it for me.

That's a great day, and you didn't have to buy the whole case to offload.

Oh yeah. Considering that she was the only one released in that set that I was interested in. The rest they had for $25 (and Wolverine for less I think but I may be wrong on that).

Most of their MU/MI have gone, depending on the figure, from $12 to $15. With a very few exceptions.

I can see where you both or coming from on Storm. I want to find her at retail, along with maybe Mags, but lately I have had not luck at retail or LCBS. I mean, I think I will give retail a few more weeks to see if I can find a Storm or Mags, if not, back to the internet I go. And, not willing, may I add. Good luck, ladies and gents on adding that action figure to your precious Marvel collection.

That Iron Fist is awesome; hopefully, it will see a release in the future along with Rogue and Phoenix-force Cyclops.

I just nabbed the legends Carnage at TRU for $21... Not bad since I was just at the salt lake comicon and vendors were gouging it at $50.

Hmmm so Archangel (released), Sentry (set to be released), & White Iron Fist (set to be released) all showing up around the same time as rouge.... they possibly threw out the original samples because these will be released in new packaging. Maybe Rouge as a walgreens exclusive...

Return it, go to Walgreens, sign up for their free store card, and get a Carnage there for $14.99 right now... =)

That would be interesting if that were to happen.

The sale was still going on as of yesterday, but I believe it's probably ending today. All the Spider-Man legends figures are $14.99. Picked up 2 Black Cats and a spare Agent Venom yesterday while picking up some Star Wars Black Series figures (which aren't on sale too, unfortunately).

Xmen:



Avengers:

Right now, I would say, it is a good time to be a collector, with so many versions of ML super heroes to choose from. If I were starting super hero teams, with just the most recent Hasbro ML figures, I would chose for

Xmen: Wolverine (Puck BAF, masked version.)
Jean Grey (Rocket BAF, I think.)
Cyclops (Puck BAF.)
Archangel (Hit Monkey BAF, I think.)
Storm (Jubilee BAF.)
Jubilee (BAF.)



Avengers: Captain America Now (Mandroid BAF.)
Hawkeye Now (Rocket BAF, no BAF piece, I think.)
Iron Man (Terrax BAF, I think.)
Hulk (ML Avengers movie version.)
Black Panther (Rocket BAF, I think.)

To fill is for Xmen, Like Professor X, Night-Crawler, I would recommend Xmen Classics, Past Xmen movie figures, or past Toy Biz figures(can be up there in price at times!) as last resorts. But, the most thing I think is, take your time looking at reviews (Toyark, yes baby!), looking at the articulation of the figure that is acceptable to you (Big difference in articulation between old Toy Biz ML Sentinel Series Black Panther and new Hasbro ML figure), looking at paint apps (Still can not pull the trigger on the new ML Xmen Classic Box Set at TRU because of this reason.), and price (I am always look for a deal because I am not rich! But, remember, as a collector, always chose the action figure because YOU like it, and because of the enjoyment of collecting ML and other action figures that might fit into scale (Maybe, Marvel Select figures can be an option.) with the ML figures you do have. Should I go fishing (looking for action figures at retail) today (Last weekend it 8 different Walgreen's for ML Agent Venom, nothing, so pardon me for being a little bit discourage fellow collectors.)! And, partner, good luck in find those action figures (the fun in the research of finding what fits you and chasing them to down at retail or LCBS.).

And, to fellow collectors (sorry scalpers and vultures, I do not know if you can understand this point I am trying to make (little rant!), In earlier posts on this site, some collects felt that Hasbro figures have come a long way, and now Hasbro figures are better than most of the old Toy Biz figures, but what Toy Biz figures do you think are better or equal to Hasbro at this point. Just interested because my LCBS last week had a Toy Biz ML Classics Archangel, which I thought was really coo and a little skinny, but just an awesome looking figure IMO, even in his plastic prison!

Right now I'd say the skinny/slim Toy Biz male bodies and all of the female bodies have not aged well for the most part, but their bigger figures all still kick ass (meaning Hulk sized characters and BAFs). The sculpting on the large figures is amazing.

Ebay they are so expensive so I want to be careful who I add and don't add.
