I think the MU version of The Vision just went up, again.

I really think that Northstar and Colosonaught are ghosts. They say yes, but the waves look pretty full and busy already. Something will have to be pushed back.

Two Packs return, cool... but how much each?

Agreed, I'm thinking 25 if anything. I may get the packs or not, I wonder if they'll come with a comic like the old ones did. Also kind of surprise that the MU Vision went up considering people can wait for this new one? Then again maybe for the card as well and it's under the MU line...

China's emerging middle class has seen an average pay increase in the last six years of nearly 400% (as an example, Chinese consumer desire for gold jewelry, something the average Chinese citizen could not afford ten years ago, is one of the primary drivers of increased gold prices recently) that coupled with the slump in the US economy has lead to a sort of "leveling out" of the previous standard of living disparity between the US and China that gave us cheep labor to produce cheep goods. My guess the next decade will see the factories move to India where you still have a large pool of people willing to work for next to nothing and our prices for consumer good will drop again.

Yup that's why the mainlander's (it's what I like to call them) are so dang rich now which is absurd. That's why I've been noticing a flux in stuff being made in different countries like Vietnam. Heck the latest CW Devastator box set is made from there haha. Love it!

I didn't realize it was 2 different Hyperions very interesting.

I don't know even know what to say to this lins anymore. I think it's clear my future involvement with it will be minimal.

Yeah I'm kind of thinking of getting out of this line, but eh, as long as I can pay 10 or less for them I'm cool.

Haha love that comment, great point though, but isn't the street walker outfit in an exclusive set, that could be why...while the 3.75 trying to cater to both adults and kids...
