[Thor Laserpunch]

Don’t see it being any worse than last year as a mainly “classic” (like 1998 or before in my mind) Marvel Universe/Spidey/X-groups focused collector.

Hoping some Walgreens exclusives or other random news for new Tigra & US Agent figs comes soon. Both were rumored for a long time now.

Fuck Target exclusives this year. I want no more to do with that shit. For one, fuck Target itself. If you want the same basic selection as Walmart at like 15% higher price, hooray for you, have fun shopping at the local Target. I wouldn’t set foot in a Target if they didn’t have ML exclusives. Same crap always: seconds-long preorder windows, artificial scarcity, stock shown online that can’t physically be found anywhere in store at EVERY STORE, the hot items get scalped to hell and then months later after tons of people got screwed by scalpers a new wave of stock comes in and then usually—to add insult to injury—the secondary market value plummets because at that point they’ve overproduced shit so it goes on clearance a la Storm/T-bird. I will not support that system, might eventually procure those exclusive figs via trading or somesuch but Target won’t get a dime of my money.
