I have collected Marvel Legends from the beginning, but I know that cost has gone up so much over the last 10 years that I just don't think we will see much in BAF in the future. I was SHOCKED when I first found out about IM legends having a Monger BAF. It started way back with the Onslaught ML back from toy biz and they have just had to cut cost more and more. Do you remember that the Onslaught wave was going to have a henchmen ( AIM, Hydra agent, Hand ninja, and a couple others, that is why it was an all villians line) with every figure in addition to the BAF figure???? and the Onslaught was going to be closer to 12-14 inches tall. The oil crisis at the time nixed all that and led to the downfall of BAF size and less and less with the figures. Remember that the MOJO wave that each figure was to come with one of the X-babies??? They started OK with Hasbro with Anihillius and Blob, even Red Hulk and the Brood Queen (going off of size not how good of a figure) were worth it at the time, but even as much as I like them even doing characters like Puck and Hit Monkey I remember a time when small "Accessory Characters" like Howard the Duck and The Impossible Man were pack ins and a BAF was worth getting the whole line for.
