Gripweed posted:Does anybody know a good way to get BaF parts? I checked my local comic shops and they don't have the leg I need, and the ones on Ebay are overpriced. I was going through this struggle a couple months ago and settled on just buying the drat figures, because it was so not worth paying close to the same price for the BAF part by itself. Most recent Marvel Legends can be got below retail price if you hunt around a little.

Sideshow dropped a $50 credit into my account so I picked this figure up for the cost of shipping. I'll post pictures when it gets here.

I assumed this piece would be easy to find since it came with the movie black suit Spiderman, which I thought would be a popular figure. More popular than loving Morlun, that's for sure. So there should be a lot of loose left legs out there. Where are they? What are people doing with these BaF pieces if they don't intend to Build the Figure?

Most of my local toy collector "friends" hoard that stuff. It's the "someday I'll complete the figure" mentality.

I'm probably going to end up getting the first three waves* of the LOTR Diamond Select figures just to get Sauron despite not giving even the SLIGHTEST poo poo about LOTR in general or any of those other fucks because it'd simply be cheaper than other options. I like Sauron's design and he fits what I'm after in my collection. I have a Visual Thing I am working towards goddamnit and I am going to get there. *I am not getting that loving orc that only comes with the bendy mace that I would rather throw in the trash Relatedly, Toybiz BAF Apocalypse is *far* cheaper to get on his own, either the parts or the whole figure already built, than trying to get the whole wave. Important note on my general disinterest in LOTR and especially LOTR- if they ever make decent Rankin Bass Hobbit style figures, let me know. That's the only thing I care about beyond aesthetics.

Is it Dragon Ball canon that Gohan is more shredded than Goku?

He got real beefy arms. I think, canonically, that Gohan has the potential to exceed Goku in terms of strength and power, but he's too busy nerding out and trying to meet his mother's expectations of him to constantly be out saving the universe like his dad. I could be super wrong though, the above is based on DBZ canon and not Super.

Kinda Goku's never quite reached his cheese grater days from Namek again EDIT: It's also pretty much accepted in Dragon Ball that Gohan is the singularly most powerful person in existence, he just doesn't want to be. And is bad at it. Which good for him.

DJ Fuckboy Supreme posted:He got real beefy arms. Pretty much yeah. Although it's not just meeting his mom's expectations, it's holding down a good job and being there for his wife and daughter. Goku willingly abandoned his family all the time for chances to train. To the point where he has achieved power beyond even Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan, and is maybe a little less strong than a Destroyer God. Gohan would have to abandon his family for a good long time to touch that kind of power.

The safety of the universes continually guaranteed by everyone accepting that Goku is the least reliable being in existence for everything other than beating up the bad guy eventually and not asking for more.

The new movie basically proves that being an absentee father is genetic for the Son family. I kid, I kid. Goku was there every single day of Gohan's life from birth through 5 years old and only stopped being there because...he died saving Gohan's life. Then he spent three years straight with him again awaiting the artificial humans. Then spent another entire year completely alone with him in the Room of Spirit & Time and only missed Gohan's adolescence because (rightfully) Goku is a big ol' magnet for rear end in a top hat evil guys. Anyway, the new Gohan figure is on a completely redesigned "3.0" body, while even the newest Goku is still rocking the ol' reliable "2.0" body. Hence the extra beefiness. Obviously a new Goku using Gohan's body as a base will become the standard eventually. My guess is whenever they announce the return of the Super TV series.

I have 69 episodes of the original Dragon Ball to watch and my blurays of Super are coming this week or next. I would like them to not make more anime Dragon Ball since I already have like 4+ years at the pace I've been going.

So there should be a lot of loose left legs out there. Where are they? What are people doing with these BaF pieces if they don't intend to Build the Figure? Honestly I think part of the issue there could be that most people buying Spider-Man are very casual collectors or actual children, so they just chuck the leg over their shoulder and it would never occur to them to go on eBay and find a buyer for it. Whereas Morlun might appeal to a savvier customer. That's my guess. BAF's are frustrating, and really not fun if you're not like a serious all-in Marvel Legends collector. I'm still grumpy that to get Khonshu I will have to buy a whole wave of figures I don't actually want. But again, I know from experience that just trying to buy the parts is a big pain, and I'd rather not spend weeks scouring eBay for them.

Rhyno posted:Facebook groups. I have exactly one facebook group of local collectors (private friends-of-friends group of ~45 people) who aren't crazy and it's the whole reason I haven't gotten rid of facebook yet. It makes me sad since it really is sort of distilled "we all have the same interest and this website helps us get together" showing off how useful facebook can be to keep people connected. but yeah, the 10k + groups of insane collectors is actually how you get hard-to-get parts. it's like a neverending fleamarket

When I dumped my BAF parts on eBay, I was the only listing for weeks on many. All I have left is a slightly damaged sentinel torso that I need to list. And whatever comes with cloak (and cloak who needs cloak)

That's not because of Facebook (although Facebook is mostly crazies), that's because of Marvel Legends. The cheaper the toyline, the worse the community for it. I call it Po's Law.

Joe Fisto posted:Amazon Black Series release today: $67 for two rereleases, a cloak, a spear, and a Grogu who can almost put his hands together  They couldn’t even be bothered to include stuff like Ahsoka’s lantern or the darksaber or, I dunno, a rock for Grogu to sit on. There’s nothing here to entice a collector to potentially double-dip.

That softgoods cloak really should have come with Ahsoka in the first place. I already paid for a third party one. Same with third party Beskar spear(s) and Darksaber(s). TBF, this is the first Mando with all of his correct season 2 changes that isn't covered in snow: different thigh pad and blue kneepad. I see this as more for someone who's just getting into the line, but otherwise only for hardcore collectors.

I don't want my King Ghidorah anymore, kept both the main and shipper box for it and would be open to working out something for $0 + cost of shipping if you're in the US (where the shipping hopefully wouldn't completely blow up).
