Are you talking about Marvel Universe? Uh, yeah, I don't know. Depends on how much you want to be spending. If you're going to hate yourself for spending hundreds on this line, then don't get into it. Seriously, it's expensive and some of the figures aren't even worth it in my opinion. One thing that you might want to consider is planning out your collection. Write down the ones that you definitely want and price them out before even dipping in because once you have a few in your possession, you'll want more and you'll possibly feel both turned off by the price and compelled to buy since you already have some.

For example, if you wanted Silver Age Avengers, you'll end up with a few, but there are a few that aren't made yet (may never be made) and then some are ridiculously expensive like Silver Age Vision (non-phasing version) and let's face it, most people want the non-phasing version. I may start taking my own advice and do this myself before diving in and feeling disappointed by pricing and availability. That way you'll have a definite set goal and won't go too overboard. You'll also have a realistic budget you're willing to pay. Say, if you don't want to spend more than 200 to build a small collection, you'll know what you're willing to pay, build it around that price. Once you achieve your goals, done.
