Lol, I just brought it up because it was funny. There's gotta be a Spider-Man themed Wizard of Oz story out there somewhere. "Auntie M" is just too close not to!

Too true on the Lizard part, setting that up and than rebooting a new Spider-Man movie instead. Instead of rebooting movies where you have to watch how they get their powers, they should just spin it off and learn from their mistake. Seriously how many times must we watch a reboot where everyone in the theater probably knows how they got their powers. But that's Hollywood for you.
Agreed, it's a Hollywood movie, just take it with a grain of salt and enjoy seeing your favorite characters in life.

I haven't met many men who appreciated Channing Tatum in that movie. Retalliation should make you much happier. Rumor has it that Duke gets killed - or perhaps is captured or in a coma? most of the movie. Of course, RoC was many times better in terms of story than TF2. That was just not a good movie.

He can't act a lick.

So far I like what I've read and seen of Retaliation.

Almost every day at work I get to a point where I'm burnt out and start looking at toys online. Today I was looking at what might currently be the most "valued" (says eBay's current listings and bids) MU figure and I noticed that Astral Dr. Strange looks to have really climbed the charts. I only ran a few Dr. Strange searches, but I only found two. Anyway, this seems to be what's hot in terms of variants or rarities.

1) Vision (color)
2) Blade
------------------------------------------------------------
3) Archangel (Death) -- prices are up and bids are in.
4) Iron Patriot w/Norm's head -- prices look high, but there aren't a lot of high bids and there are a TON listed. Maybe Norm needs to get bumped down a notch or two.
5) Dr. Strange (clear) -- least amount of listings? .. sure looks that way.

..and could the Iron Spidey clear variant be busting into the top five? There aren't a ton listed.

I checked Cable w/Hope and he's not top five material at the moment. Any others that you feel might crack this top five?

I've noticed the regular Archangel is starting to get a little pricier as well. As the year goes on these may go up more because of when they've been out as well as rareness.
Question though, are there ML counter parts worth the same? I spotted a Vision and it wasn't at all.

I don't know a thing about Legends (don't collect them), but the aftermarket prices of MU are more distribution driven as opposed to character driven.

And all 5 of these were in my BST just last week! Some still are! :D

Shameless plug.. :x

I might need that Ab Man, quinten.

bring on the kang wave already!!!

I'm buying Kang twice.

Ive already bought him..I made him bring me back to the past so that I could rub it in your face. :p

I dont want to say too much.. but you quit MU and start collecting My Little Pony in 2013.

We should be seeing the new wave soon considering that the psylocke wave hit in late dec. I'm actually looking forward to this wave with the new hulk mold which I think is bada$$, beast, beta ray bill and kraven. I'm only considering ultimate spidey if he has rocker ankles.

And yet many Arker's have yet to see him in retail, and the ones who have either got them at a LCS or Ebay.

I dont want to get your hopes too high.. but from what i remember reading he will have rocker ankles.

The new wave is going to be great. Kraven is full of great detail.. I think he will be the gem of the wave.

Hey, yeah! I remember you! It's great seeing all the familiar faces on here as well.

Thanks, Pete. I've seen ya over on TFW as well.

Well, I guess Wave 17 finally is hitting Florida- I say- and passes- an Ages of Thunder Thor today.
That fig really does nothing for me.

And there's nothing I want from that wave since I use Iron Fist's yellow dragon in my Heroic Age New Avengers (white came later).

I want Wave 18 bad. Real bad. Hope the Secret Avengers Beast is a real variant.

And that there's a good supply of him as well...

I havent heard about this varient. All I can think is he would have the "A" instead of "X" on his unitard?

man, yeah i've been obsessed with that beast figure. even had this weird dream where there was a case that had 2 of em but there were 3 other collectors sitting around trying to get him too. also had this nuclear holocaust theme to it. that's what i get for reading v for vendetta late at night.

hey y'all...its about time I mosied over to the ark, whats up everyone? I see some familiar faces...

Shout out to SHOCKWAVE he is the one who talked me into coming over!

Welcome SB !

Although I haven't around much...
looking forward to the next wave...
but it can't here soon enough with the New Legends taking up more of the pegs.

Got Phasing Vision and 3 frost giants today. MARVEL IS BACK BABY.

Hey bub :)
