That's more like it. Flash that money to impress the bitches.

Tiger Shark's entire wave was crapped on. But that was quite some time ago, too, and I suppose it's just worse now because with there being so many Legends getting made, the lesser ones stand out more. (People also are starting to get really tired of filler "Collector wanted" figs that you have to buy to get a much more desired figure's arm or leg.)

And yet you keep buying them...

Seriously, just wait for ebay to get flooded with the random BAF part you need. At that point the prices tank and you can get most parts for next to nothing, especially for the less-desirable BAFs (like Molten Man). It just takes a little patience.

Rock Python barely gets a pass because people are used to Hasbro ticking away at the Serpent Society by now, so it's expected to find a member filling up an Avengers wave that you either suck it up and buy or just buy your missing BAF piece on eBay. Spymaster is something new to dislike.

I couldn't care less about the Serpent Society, so Rock Python is a pretty worthless character to me. But does it bug me that he was made and took up a slot in a wave? Not at all. There are a lot of odd characters I like, so I can relate to the idea of there being SOMEONE out there who's all like, "YES! ROCK PYTHON!! FINALLY!"

But really, "so much history!" and yet such an important villain has just been relegated to the throw away figure spot in the Black Widow wave...

Hey, there's a difference between someone having "history" and being a super-important character in the grand scheme of things. Spymaster isn't that big of a deal in the modern era, sure, I recently downloaded and have been reading though the original Iron Man run (it's fun but very dated, obviously) and Spymaster figures very prominently into several of the storylines.

Besides, I'm sure you have some scrub character that you've been wanted a figure of for ages that everyone else hates. Maybe Hasbro will come through for you one day like they came through now for the Spymaster fanboys (all ten of them).
