Just list the figures individually, and if they have any important things missing, make a note of that. Also, if you have any Fourth World DCUC (Darkseid, Orion, Lightray, Big Barda, Kalibak) and a regular Superman I'll snatch those up.

Jet Ready Go posted:I paid 7.99 for this guy.. so maybe it's the -same- price? Nope. When Legends first started, it was a 5.99-6.99 line, and that carried through up until the later BAF waves of toy biz, and spiked when Hasbro took over.

I'm looking for any 4th World related DCU figures, aside from Mister Miracle which I already have, if anyone is willing to trade/sell. That includes: Orion Barda Lightray CnC Kalibak Desaad CnC Darkseid Parademons Mantis Steppenwolf For trade, I have pretty much every single Marvel Legend that came out pre-2010, including most variants, so if anyone is interested, shoot me a PM. I'm not willing to part with some of my Legends, but if you have a list of wants, I can see if I can help out.

DJ Turbo Punch posted:I'd be all over Marvel Legends if they weren't so loving expensive. I just got into toy collecting again less than a year ago and the prices on all Marvel toys are absolutely ridiculous. The only reason I can even try to get the stuff I want from Marvel Universe is because I can occasionally find it in stores. I know they're reviving Legends at some point in the future, but I still wouldn't be able to find any of the previously released stuff at a decent price if I started collecting that now. Man, when I started buying Legends, they were $5.88 a piece at Wal-Mart/K-Mart/Whatevermart. Prices for toys have become ridiculous thanks to oil/plastic prices.

Djarum posted:Granted I don't blame them, Marvel Legends/Universe and DCUC are collector lines. Kids aren't really interested in them, mostly because kids aren't interested in comics. If they are able to subsidize it somewhat and keep them alive by charging a little extra than I guess that is a lesser of two evils but it still is a evil. That's true. If Hasbro did a MOTU-style Legends Club, I'd probably sign up as long as the figures were truly premium quality. I have trouble plunking down cash for their store Legends (if I ever even see them) thanks to them having cheap rear end plastic, poorly thought out articulation, and terrible paint apps.

Satsuki posted:It's really stupid how they are making people who get the "all in" sub now double dip on shipping because they keep making things outside of it. At least give us free shipping or something if we have a sub and have to order something else MOTUC on a sale day. They definitely need a gold and silver tier subscription system. Silver for regular releases only, gold for everything. It would split nicely between the people who don't want everything or aren't comfortable with preordering big ticket figures or sets and those who will buy anything they release anyways.

Satsuki posted:Yeah I know, they pull everything because god forbid anything stay on the site more than a few days. There's no way materials + shipping weight adds up to 8 or 9 dollars for regular ground shipping. Those boxes are light as hell. Plus with the volume they kick out, they probably have a better rate through their fulfillment company, too. It's definitely a way to grift a few more bucks.

I get that they don't want stock sitting there in a warehouse, but they're the ones that shoot themselves in the foot by closing orders super fast when they have stock. I understand that they need some overage for replacement, but they artificially set supply all the time. Plus, you're going to zero out your line growth when people can't even get the core figures they need to start interest.

I think the biggest issue is the fact that they are pushing people to do the club subscriptions, but when you have over half of the line for the year that hasn't even been hinted at much less unveiled, you're forcing your consumers to take a lot on faith. There's no way in hell you'd be able to get me to agree to pre-purchase product that is unknown to me, and I imagine a large amount of their customer base feels the same. Again, I only have He-Man and Skeletor from the line, but it isn't exactly an inviting situation if I ever felt like purchasing more.

I can't stand the guilt trip poo poo they pull on their own consumers. Either figure out how to pay for the line, scale it back, or cancel it. Don't hang it around the neck of the people you're supposed to be trying to sell it to. If it fails, it's because of Mattel, not because of people that don't want to pre-order a years worth of poo poo that they aren't even told about up front.

The line really doesn't have much left in it really. It seems like they held Mekanek and Ram Man hostage for a long time to insure that people would keep buying in anticipation for those two, but now that they're set for release, there aren't many must haves remaining in the line unless they decide to go in a new direction with the whole "Son of He-Man" poo poo.

Big Bad Voodoo Lou posted:Has anyone bought the new Amazing Spider-Man figure, and if so, can they compare it to the well-loved McFarlane Spidey from several years ago? I don't like the ASM body as much as the McFarlane (the chest is flat, the torso cut doesn't crunch as well, and the legs don't swing up as much), but if they made a traditional spidey with the Superior body, it would trump it. The Superior Spidey body is very, very good.

funtax posted:The original one was from the "Spider-man Classics" line, series 12. Specifically, "Superposeable Wall-Crawling Spider-Man". There's also this one from the Fearsome Foes boxed set with a different headsculpt. They eyes are more classic Spidey, though the face is kind of flat from profile so it doesn't look as good. The blues are even lighter than the original McFarlane Spider-Man.  (Sorry for the bad image) The Fearsome Foes boxed set is even rarer though, and it has an excellent Rhino, Lizard and Vulture that I don't believe were ever released separately. The Carnage that came with it was also the best one until this most recent Hasbro one.

Looks like that All-New X-Men boxed set that leaked which was previously thought to be a SDCC exclusive is actually a Toys 'R' Us exclusive, releasing next month. Run on sentence. http://marvelousnews.com/index.php?catid=252&itemid=16925   I can dig it. I just hope the Beast's forearms have articulation. It looks like a lump of plastic from these photos. I hope that this bodes well for more boxed sets in the future!

Hmm... Yeah I didn't see the large images updated when I posted. They ain't great, which is a shame considering the high quality streak Hasbro has been on since the line relaunched. I'll have to see them in person before I take the plunge. ...Who am I kidding, I'll pick them up on sight. But I hope future box sets have a little more care put into them if these are successful.
