Just wouldn't surprise me if this was paid for but my point is that there has been more than enough coverage for this junk and 9 out of 10 here would agree with me.

It definitely wasn't paid for by a sponsor, DESTRO actually paid for it himself. We may not post as many galleries as we do here on our sister sites like TFW2005, but if you'll notice, anytime DESTRO here and at HISS Tank, Tony_Bacala or Sol Fury gets a relatively new toy(or cool vintage toy), they will sometimes post galleries here and/or at our sister sites(if they have the time).

Most members on this site and most older collectors in general will probably pass on the Assemblers, myself included. Also the staff on this site as a whole would love to post more galleries of cool new stuff we have in our collections but we don't always have the time.

When the Iron Man 2 figures were 1st released I rushed to get my camera out, bust open photo editing programs to resize and upload my photos and reviews here. However I got busy with other things off-site and couldn't review the entire line as I had wished. I basically stopped after the 1st wave of movie figures(or maybe it was 2 waves?).

BTW the only time Hasbro sends stuff for free is usually when a huge movie comes out. Sometimes they send a press kit to the site owner(s). No one at this point has received a Hasbro press kit with a crapload of Iron Man 3 figures. I don't think Toyark got one for Iron Man 1 or 2. The last ones I remember were for Transformers 1(2007) which Tony_Bacala got I think.

I can't speak for Fran but I think he mainly got this Assemblers figure because it was new. He and I have talked about Iron Man 3 a bit before Toy Fair and the Legends figures imo are the only ones worth buying.
