Is anyone else slightly disappointed in the con exclusives? the Taco truck and OML are cool no question, but in the past it seems we got a lot more, masterworks, a lot of consistently MU style packaging, and obscure figures, not just the same awesome, if extremely overplayed characters. I don't know maybe the shat news just has me butt hurt, but I'm feeling we got stiffed.

I also bought an OML off eBay last night for around the same price as you. As for where they'll end up? Not really sure. They only made 3,000 I believe and I'm sure they sold a bunch of them at SDCC as eBay can attest. I can't imagine them going anywhere besides being a digital sub promo figure or to HTS like Archy, Doomy and Nicky.

I'm not sure if I feel stiffed or just disappointed. I do think most of the Hasbro exclusives fell a little short this year though. That's not to say there's not some cool figures that came about, but to me there didn't seem like there was a lot of feeling behind it. Metroplex - we're getting a retail version of this figure very soon. Shockwave's lab - we already have a retail version of this figure. No single carded Joe figures this year?? The Joe/TF pack is cool, but didn't even make it to HTS. (Possibly because of the lawsuit or did they completely sell out?) Deadpool - neat idea and the corps figures look cool and they are obscure, but we already have what 3 versions of Deadpool? It would have made more sense doing this when the movie comes out.

And I do understand that releasing the same or similar figures is common practice (Bruticus, Thor Ages of Thunder, Cap, etc...), but I think I would rather have seen a 3.75" Stan Lee or Jarvis or Aunt May/Uncle Ben action (inaction?) figures instead. Or something else obscure that wouldn't do as well at retail. I would rather Old Man Logan had been the MU single carded exclusive this year and not had it be the subscription figure which had no purchasing limit.

So despite my rant I really do appreciate what we got this year. Something is definitely better than nothing and I'm excited to be getting the Deadpool Corps and a packaged OML.

That sucks. I already had myself believing they wouldn't be released today, but I was still checking periodically through the afternoon. Then bam there they were! Caught me off guard too, but I was able to get what I wanted. Sorry you missed out.
