First these two comic packs are direct repaints, then the Giant Sized X-men 6 pack is $37.99(TRU) to $49.50(Disney Store) and its just retooled repaints of figures previously released and then the upcoming Captain America Marvel Universe Comic Packs are direct repaints. Damn, they must really like giving retailers things that will make them want to cancel the line due to pegwarming.

I hear you guys on the repaints, but you have to remember that not everyone has been collecting for as long as you. If you weren't collecting a couple of years ago then this would be your first chance at getting these figures. Repaints suck if you have the figures, but if you don't... not so much.

True enough. They always have to have the line approachable for new collectors and kids who don't have the popular guys. Hence why we always see so freaking many Iron Mans, Spidermans and Wolverines.

That doesn't explain why so many shelfwarm, then.

I think even the kids dont really care about Iron Man and Wolverine anymore.. they are probably sick of them just like we are.

As a new collector to this line myself, believe me when I say I had no difficulty finding any of the three figures you mentioned because so many of the older ones are shelfwarming. In fact, I even got my Iron Man on clearance.

If so, I have no desire to pick up another one, but if there are some amazing differences otherwise, I should apparently rethink grabbing one as I've seen about 10 now. :x

I was excited about this set (still am) because I didn't have any version of Sabretooth in my MU collection. If I had one from the XMO line I probably would've skipped this set, but I don't.. so I'm glad they made this.

On the back of the card the Wolverine figure pictured looks to be the version from the Cap/Wolverine Comic Pack (or close to it) instead of the XMO version.

Gott agree on this.
I got the Wolve/Sabertooth two pack last night (rather y roomie picked it up for me) and Sabertooth is pretty damn awesome.
Very suprised on how good he is.
Wolverine looks great too with one exception- the paint app on his claws kinda missed most of the silver on one hand but I swapped it for the XMO version.
Skipped the Cyclops/Jean two pack.

Personally, I went by TRS yesterday and they had their usual selection of scalped lines plus TWO Green Lantern build a figs with their BAF piece stolenn and re-taped for resale.
Not as bad as a Cantina Swap but pretty bad.

I did score yet another Terminator endoskeleton 3.75" on clearance for $2
-Stick your extra Hammerdrone head on there for kinda a commando drone.

With Sabretooth, I have the BYB version, but not the one with Blob (Dukes was all gimmicked-out, which I hate). So it appeals to me. As for the Wolverine in that set, I'll just set him next to the other MU Wolverines I have. One more at this point isn't really going to make that much of a difference to me. Same goes for Iron Man or Spider-Man. I've long-since passed the point where I care how many of those three I own. It's wasted energy to continually rage about it, really.



Really? :rolleyes:

You do realize that at the bottom of every package with an image on it, there is legal text that clearly states that the actual items may not be as pictured, right?



Or the "Edit" button. Both exist for a reason, Lucky. ;)

Hey if you want you can customize that one into the current version of Cyclops since it already has the silver visor

I see these in so much abundance on the pegs. I guess the scalpers don't care for these either considering that they are just repaints. A great first class set would be beast and angel.

well, I'd buy one anyway.
