no ones gonna hold that against you if you have rarities from the toybiz legends/FF/Hulk/Spiderman lines or certain BAF's
i held on to a couple of toybiz legends/hulks,because there is a market for them.this whole business of picking up the latest legends at $20 and selling for $40 is not right,likewise with the latest MU.

He sparkles like a hot rod at a car show he is so shiny. Can actually see your reflection in that green paint!! Also his cape is super soft plastic... unlike the other caped MU guys, at least the ones I have so far.

Don't pass on Vision anymore guys.... he is going to go up in value each passing year. You will see him YEARS later for 1000 and tell your grand kids you could have picked him up for 80... He is simply beautiful. I waited for two years and when I got, it did not disappoint. Just the opinion of a guy in England, but I thought I would share it with you.

I put it off for over a year, cringing at those prices. I ended up paying just shy of 200$ for him (after duty fees and shipping), but I haven't regretted it for a moment. The minute I had Wanda, I couldn't not have Vision anymore, hahaha.

I suppose, he might not be a 'must have' for everyone though. Why, I'll never understand. It's Vision! He's a cornerstone of the Avengers.

And then also a couple of years ago to just find a translucent one as well was just the icing on the cake.

Nice list! I still think most peeps would want Vision though, since all the others are minor variants of easier to find figures... just my opinion.

In my case, I have Cage, DD v1, Widow, Cable w/o Hope and Scarlet Spider. I don't care about the other versions of those figures, as long as I have a version in my collection. Vision is the only one you mentioned that I don't own (and probably never will since I refuse to pay more than retail for any MU figure).

Also remember, holy grails aren't just the super rare or ultra hard-to-find figures. Rarity does play a factor, but desirability is the driving force. And not everyone will ever agree on what is or is not desirable enough to be called a holy grail.

Oh yes... VISION, VISION and more VISION. We love it, we hate it, sometimes we detest it but deep down inside we want it more than life itself. As you can see from all the quotes (and there's many more quotes posted on this thread believe me) VISION is a very interesting topic to say the least... But why???

The answer to my question is why not??? So I humbly ask you...
WHY???

Yes, I want to know exactly why do you want it, why?? I want to know what VISION means to you, I want to know what your (MOC or Loose) collection is like without VISION? I want to humbly (don't be shy) know what you economic situation is? I want to know how hard it is for you to get VISION? ETC... Be creative, but most importantly, be honest!

Think about it, think hard. I will give you until Saturday, April 12, 2014 to tell me by either posting you answer here in these thread (which I prefer) or PM me your answer as a last resort but don't be shy to post it on this thread my friends!

I promise you I will read every post very carefully and when I am done, I will choose the best one of them all (there is no right or wrong answer my friends, be yourself and speak the truth) and the chosen one will be rewarded dearly...

Yes, the winner will get a brand spanking new Marvel Universe 3.75' Non-variant, original, number 006, series 2 VISION figure... FREE!!!
Why you ask? Because I freaking feel like it that's why! (plus I have 3, LMAO). Consider this your X-Mas in July (or in this case late March, Lol)

TWO RULES: 1) It is open to current TOYARK Members ONLY. No new TOYARK Members, (sorry, it's only fair). Only current existing member (and I know who you are). 2) If you already have one don't be that guy or gal and try to get another one. Help your ARKERS out and don't participate if you already have one please (and I know who's who because I read older posts my friends).

And here is your MOC VISION!...
