Leland would also be most welcome to complete the Hellfire Club.

X-Men 97 Exodus would be an instant buy for instance. Another Cyclops, Wolverine or Storm that are very similar to what we've got, no thank you very much.

I so far have bought Bishop, X-Ecutioner, Sunspot and Goblin Queen. Bishop really only because I felt I needed some kind of different look for him even though it was very similar to what we had. The other three are completely different from what we had already, two weren't even available in the line at all. Thought about Emma but it's too close to the Hellfire set for me to really make a difference for me.

But I'm past the point of needing upgrades or figures similar to what we've got, unless I have to get them as part of a pack, anyways.

Yeah, my rationale was similar to both of yours. But after opening Cable and Sunspot, I found myself regretting the purchases. I felt a sense of resentment, at myself, for rationalizing the financing of my own frustration. It was Cable that did it. After opening it, I was left feeling stupid for buying one. It isn't an offensive figure, but it doesn't fit anything in particular outside of '97, which I don't watch.

I purchased all of the first two waves except the X-cutioner. All of which I considered close enough to looks I want, despite being repeated figs in my collection. However, having Cable, and pre-ordering Apocalypse, has me thinking to jump out of '97 before I'm knee-deep in another Legends line that has me buying redrafts of characters and costumes I already have with little difference beyond style and miniscule improvements.
