@ChuckSass, Cable only looked like that during the mini-series X-Sanction, which served the purpose of retconning his death the year before in Second Coming and bringing him back into the fold. A number of Cable's looks would have been preferable to this, but eh, at least it's not an awful 90's design.

As for the SDCC set, they really aren't that expensive. I paid less for the Book of Vishanti set on Ebay (with postage and custom charges) than I do for a regular wave, which to me is fine. They were characters that I love, and at about $20 a figure I call that a fair deal.
The problem is when people spend days queuing to get these "exclusive" sets, only to be told that what they did was pointless and they can buy the same figures the next year at retail. One figure is bearable (Star Lord in the EE set, Dormammu as the BAF), but any more is unacceptable.
