X-Force Archangel
 
So what's the deal with this one?

I've been tracking eBay for the past couple months, kicking myself for laughing at the figure and it's $60 price tag when it was offered to me without having to even wait in line at SDCC this year.

It's not that I LOVE it or anything, but I'm trying to complete the X-Men of the MU figures, and obviously this fits that bill.

What's the best method of getting my hands on one? I know there's still the mail-away program on marvel.com for around $60 and three months of time, and you can pay around $90-120 for one on eBay. I've also heard that it'll be offered at NYCC, so I'm thinking about having my NYC buddy who's going get me one there and ship it back. (I'm assuming the $60 is still there, since it's a benefit of starting a membership).

What do you professional collectors recommend? What methods did you take to get this one?

Do Boy 10-05-2011 09:11 PM

I got mine at SDCC this year as well but mine was free!!!! And all I had to do was sign up for a year of Marvel Digital Comics

Tiberius 10-05-2011 09:13 PM

Don't know if this needed a thread of it's own, but, the figure is over rated. I am still thinking of just making mine, as a lot of customiz0rz do.

tsweet 10-05-2011 09:16 PM

Not worth it buy a regular archangle and make your own variant. That's what I did...

Peteparker 10-05-2011 09:17 PM

I'm not a maker though. I've never painted anything smaller than myself in my entire life. (Walls, rooms, and cars I've painted).

It's only free if you were subscribing for a year anyway.

A year's worth of 6-12 month old comics I have to be online to read? Thanks a pantload, Marvel.

You are looking at it all wrong. You are paying for comics and getting a figure free :) I read those comics on my Ipad religiously now. Didn't think I would. But it's let me catch up on a lot.

I can get comics for free, therefore I should get paid to take this figure. I think this is a brilliant idea. =3

Hah, I don't fully understand the math here, but I'm okay with getting one for less than 0.

How much did you have to do to get it? I'm trying to figure out if I want to put my friend from 10 years ago through the mess.

Can I just send him the money and not give a crap what he fills in wherever, or do I need to give him all my information for signup? Maybe I could give him the year of digital comics free as a tip instead of giving him cash...

I had to use a CC with a matching billing address.

I am a bad person and save OODLES of money on comics.

Blood 10-05-2011 09:44 PM

I made mine from a regular one, you should do it too and save the money for the worthy figures

^That actually makes you a thief (assuming you steal them on-line). The marvel subscription is awesome if you want to read up on a ton of backstories. The thing paid for itself the first day I got it and read about 60 comics( 60 x $2= $120 versus buying old trades or collecting old issues) Even if you aren't into the older stuff, it stays fairly up to date with all the big stuff thats happened in the last few years. I'd say it's totally worth it.

If its online, some one already stole it. I'm not paying 4.99 for a comic, at any time.

My sentiments as well, I can't afford most anything nowadays, save for the occasional MU figure, so I'm not about to pay for a comic, unless I really like it.
Though the venom comics have so far been an exception to the rule.

I would buy some comics, like I,Vampire. But my town/village/city/piece of shit bum town doesn't have a comic shop that carries new comics. They have a 3-4 for 1$ bin, which takes up half the store, which is complete crap. Closest comic book store is 40 minutes away.

God damn it we live in Canada anyways. This shit isn't illegal unless we sell it.

Then pretty much the marvel on-line subscription is perfect for you, is it not?

Not when I can get for free. And spend that money on a few figures.

And by getting it for free he isn't breaking any Canadian laws.

While I don't want to fuel the fire of the pirating issue here, or even see yet another argument about it, I do have to say that the online Marvel subscription sucks bad. 'Fairly up to date' is anything older than 6 months, save an issue or two. That's nowhere near up to date. Plus you have to use their app in most cases, and they don't let you even clip your favorite panels for screensavers, etc. As much as they're putting a half-assed effort into putting digital comics out there, it's still just a half-assed effort.
