Yeah, I'd definitely say it's worth it. I've dropped that money on stuff that I don't like or on leisurely stuff and I'm always thinking, "Damn, I could've bought an MU figure for that." LOL. I don't know. It's just when I go to a movie and feel totally disappointed, it's like $14. Snacks are another $15 or more. I just spent $30 bucks on a single activity. The movie could suck crap. I just know I'll be sitting through the movie thinking, "Damn, that's 3 or 4 Red Hand Ninjas I could be adding to my collection..." LOL. Sad, I know. I have enough to pay all my bills, etc and all that but the money isn't endless and I've definitely cut corners to build my collection. LOL.

I think that's when hardcore collectors like myself start getting annoyed, remorseful and resentful at the reissues/minor repaints. I mean to be fair, Hasbro is releasing a ton of new figures but at the same time, they're also reissuing minor variants and selling things in a way that make it rather inconvenient for us to acquire what we want. When it costs me $50 to get 3 figures out of 5 that I want and only $65 to get all 5, I end up getting all 5. I've stopped caring about minor variants now like the Target Exclusive Iron Mans with blue eyes and arc reactors. It's like seriously, who cares... I'll buy it if it's like 2 bucks plus 2 bucks shipping but otherwise, forget it.

Like seriously, some of these two packs are really pissing me off. I'm already rolling my eyes at the number of Wolverines I'll be accumulating just because of the Sentinels alone. They couldn't include a Friends of Humanity trooper instead?
