but if someone didn't have those characters already I can see why they would want them. but it doesn't negate the fact that it would be a letdown for me.

This is the same mindset that I carry. If I'm going to invest anywhere up to nearly 100 dollars or more on a BAF, I'd prefer it to be something that I don't already have, or something that offsets a ridiculous aftermarket price of previous offerings (see Pitt, Fin Fang Foom, Ronan, etc.) While many of Toy-Biz's offerings are more than 10 years old, they still hold weight today, and in some cases, put Hasbro's BAFs to shame. (For as cool as Hulkbuster was, ToyBiz's Sentinel runs rings around it.) Rhino was as close to a Toybiz BAF in terms of sculpt and paints as they come...

The same goes with Hasbro's regular offerings as well. Unless there are newer costumes or versions of the character, they are not always necessary, as I feel many of those older figures still hold up. Unless the character is ToyBiz Scarlett Witch/Psylocke/Baron Zemo/Rogue bad, I just don't see the need for some of the re-dos that many people are asking for such as the Punisher, (Hasbro will never top series 4 Frank) Bullseye (a great figure that still holds it's weight, as it's mold became the basis for Legends for years...) or Juggernaut (which has a great Legends figure, and an even better Select figure...) I'd much rather see something new, even if the character is an obscure one, like what we got with many of the HB wave...

That said, a new Apocalypse would be nice, but unless it's a movie version or his Ultimate X-men look, I wouldn't be tripping over myself or other people to trying to get it...
