There is also a very little-known rule where any new member has to send me whichever ML I choose that they bought right after they joined. I'll take your Black Panther please ;^)

There's actually a really interesting book called the Physics of Superheroes, and it explains that once Giant Man reached a height of over 16 feet (I think that was it, I don't have the book on me), his body would collapse under the weight of itself

It's true about there being a maximum height for that, I was reading the science behind that somewhere online a couple years ago. Basically, our size only works because our weight is under the max per square inch that our muscles can hold up (which is why elephants are built the way they are, and whales need to live in the ocean). The bigger a land animal gets, the more weight per square inch we need to have denser muscles to hold up, which makes our muscles heavier, which spirals that ratio out of control after a few feet above our current max height (the tallest humans ever have been around 8').

That doesn't invalidate the argument that we should have gotten a 14" tall BAF though ;^) But it does kinda kill the Giant-Man idea in Marvel Comics lol.

I think Hasbro has a limit of 2 per basket. We'll talk as this gets closer.

Just putting it out there (I am not going to SDCC this year as far as I know), but if anyone wants a portion of an SDCC set but not the other figures, and I want one or more of the ones you don't want, I would be willing to split a set based on how many figures there are.

So, for instance, there's 5 figures, you want 2 out of the 3 I don't care about, I want one out of the other 2 badly, I would split it 2/5 to me and 3/5 to you, in order to get the one figure I want badly plus the other figure I sort of want. Meaning I'd pay 2/5 the total price and you'd pay 3/5.

This also works if I only want 1 figure and others also only want 1 figure, a set could be split between several people.

If I was able to snag one on the site as they come out, I'd be willing to ship to each of you who chipped in. Or someone else could. We can hash that out before they come out.
