Lots of people want a Deadpool figure but couldn't care less a about Deadpool Corps. The reason Deadpool is so hard to get is the low production runs. The comic two-pack was hardly seen by most of us. Had it hit in mass like the FF team pack or something it would be warming still most likely. Perhaps toy companies underestimate the market for some characters and that is what really makes them hard to find, not necessarily universal demand. I'd only want Lady Deadpool and maybe the dog as a novelty.

I sold down my collection. I honestly don't have to form every single version of every single team from every single decade. I don't own every version of ironman because 2 is enough.....they are toys....I'm happy that I have a few of the characters that I like.

I don't chase variants and I dont lose my mind that I don't have either blaaster. I don't own jubs....so I'm guessing ill never complete the 90s xmen.....and I never loose sleep. I own one Jim lee cyclops and I (gasp) cut off his top straps and made a cross between cockrum cyclops and Jim lee cyclops. I don't go crazy because I don't own a red skull or many villains to pose my heroes pretend fighting. I like this line but I pick and choose.

I don't leave in the card so I don't care if they are creased or not. I know I'm the minority here but so what if Xavier was an exclusive? You either live with it.....but a ticket and try and get them....go through ebay an over pay for a toy that after this line ends will go down. How do I know that $50 figure you bought is going to go down.....because once something ends we collectors tend to go to something else.....most sell their collection. Plus look at the old bullseye.....once the comic pack came out with a better mold BE some people lost interest in the old one. Once something better comes....y'all cheat on the old one.

So no if prof x was an exclusive I would not bitch or lose my mind! And it's only a screw over in your head....we are not in titled to these toys....they DON'T have to give you a stupid dog in a deadpool suit. If you gotta have that for whatever reason you have to have it then I'm sure you'll find a way....where there is a will there is AWAYS a way....

What a catty response to a simple statement of fact. Releasing generally wanted characters as exclusives does screw most buyers in the sense that they will be forced to pay a price much higher than retail and that is a guarantee. No one said anything about losing ones mind, except you, but I was mostly pointing out to those hating on a potential Deadpool pack that its better than something they really wanted being hard to get. Deadpool fans are lucky to get these figures at all and most will only be interested for the rarity, if at all.

I don't chase after figures for high prices either and I've been lucky enough to find most things at retail or catch a sale on the or have fellow collectors hook me up. If it costs too much I just don't buy it. You make a lot of assumptions and I'm not sire what you basing them on but you come off a bit of angry about something.
