New MU figures are so hard to find. I think 2 things are killing the series. First, too many hard to find characters short packed and some waves having common character's double packed. Havok and Archangel were hard to get, but yet every time I go to the store I see about 5 of each character from that wave. Thus, the collector's and e-bay scalpers are buying them all up (jacking up the prices, along with demand), and leaving all the shelf-warmers.
Second, I think Marvel is putting too many of the same big name characters in every wave. Spider-Man and Iron Man already have their own lines thanks to their movies. There must be about 8 different Spider and Iron Man's released, and Wolverine has about 6!! And they are only 2 years deep. Now with year 3, plans for more Spider-man's, Iron Man's and Wolverine's. We need more Vision's, Sunfire, Moon Knight, Warpath, Archangel, Havok!!! And more female characters. 2 years with no Rouge, Invisible Woman, Scarlet Witch, etc.?
I live in Houston, TX, and there are only 2-3 stores that I know of that regularly/semi-regularly re-stock's these figures. One Wal-Mart has had the same 3 figures for 2 months, where's the re-order? Another store has 6-8 Iron Man's, Spider-Man's, Multiple Man, AIM, Colossus figures...someone move the figures to other stores, we are missing entire waves!! I really like these figures and initially was only going to buy X-Men, but I have been really liking most of the line, whether I am big into the charater or not.
It's gotten to the point that if I don't buy the figure when I first see it, I may never see that figure again. I guess TRU had 2 for $10, but its the same 3-4 different figures everywhere (guess you could build up an AIM or Multiple Man army).
However, I did get a few figures over the past week or so. Before Thanksgiving, TRU 2 for $10 I picked up Galactus and few MU figures that I have been putting off, Wrecker, Multiple Man, Mystique, got Hulkbuster Iron Man, today, Tuesday, I got Doc Samson and Cpt. Marvel, missed WW Hulk by minutes...got a few older XMO toys, Cyclops, Ice Man and Dead Pool at Marshall's and TJ Maxx. Hadn't really seen anything else that great for Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
