TB Vision used to go for a pretty penny but once Hasbro made classic retro Vision, the value of that TB version has dropped as hardly no one cares to buy it now. Hasbro classic Vulture has made the TB classic version drop in price as well. Sometimes it's a case of you snooze, you lose. There are way too many other Marvel characters that have yet to even get a 6' action figure made of them but people want an umpteenth version of a figure that's already been done to death. I want classic Tarantula done on the new Spidey retro buck or even Sunfire buck before another Doc Ock-Kraven-Scorpion. When is classic 1st app Wonderman in the Avengers retro line? An in scale classic Wrecking crew is way more essential & in need of a redo before any Spiderman villains that have already gotten figures.

I hate the idea of collecting for value when it comes to toys- that's just me- so i have always loved re-releases of hard to find figures. gives folks that were late to the game a chance to get caught up as well. I've been with this line since wave 4 or so (whenever they stopped using the old Toybiz build and redesigned the thighs and shoulders) so I've got 90%+ of the line already... all they have to do is re-make the Wrecking Crew and I'll be happy as a clam- don't really care if it tanks the value of folks holding onto the originals
