I'm still getting the new stuff but if the articulation/sculpts get any worse/cheaper I'll probably be out.

Well I've only just started collecting and have spent a lot of money in a short space if time on the MU line. I'm no pro but know a good product when I see it and agree the new 6inch legends are better value especially if you wait until the new wave comes out and the old one is in the sale at half price.
I love the 3.75 figures but hate that the quality is hit and miss between figures, some are better than others. And the new Infinite ones are terrible value with the lack of articulation.
I have bought Sandman and Daredevil because these are good figures and are obviously using old molds as they have all the articulation, also got Bishop but only because I'm trying to build up an X-Men team apart from that he isn't a great figure.
Then you look at new Beast and Big Time Spiderman and they are rubbish, you can tell Hasbro has no interest now for 3.75 and are producing poor figures with minimum production cost but maximum profit. I'm in a bit of quandary as where to go with my collection, if it wasn't for space I'd probably go for 6inch Legends but 3.75 don't take up too much room and I'm probably too committed now to change from this size. Plus they are the perfect scale for dioramas, which I'll post a few pics later of my first attempts.
