During the first year of MU, I resisted temptation and only picked up a few of the figures I really wanted, like Deadpool, Gambit, a few Wolverine's, but then when series 2 launched in 2010, along with the IM2 movie line, I caved one day at a Target and bought every figure on the pegs. The next week, one of my good buddies sold me all of his MU figures that I didn't already have for $3 each, which pretty much caught me up, and I've been staying current with each wave ever since. Between MU and the movie lines, I haven't enjoyed collecting this much since I was a kid in the early ToyBiz years.

Those Toybiz figures were the "cool toy" my friends had but I didn't.
