I kinda like that LJ, but not for the price it will go for on Ebay. It looks like they gave her a new head (which I like) and new legs. Wondering how that Steeler is going to turn out. Wish I had been able to order the Con set, but things just piled up on me when the pre-orders where needed.

I want that LJ too........lame. Seriously, the stuff that is available at these con's piss me off. Toy collecting is so frustrating......

Yeah, I'd imagine it would be a dificult dilemma for them to solve; how do you decide what kind of exclusive figure to offer? If you do some lame character or a popular one in terrible colors, then no one will be interested, possibly limiting the chance there'd be any future offerings. Then if you make a really cool one that everyone wants, the ol' supply and demand scenario kicks in and someone is bound to be mad and/or disappointed because of limited availability, thereby equally disenchanting fans.

 

I'll let you guys in on my little secret on coping with such disappointment: When there happens to be something really rare or limited that I want and can't afford or find, I tell myself that I was just fine before I ever knew the item existed, so being without it now shouldn't be any different. (lol)

well I guess that works, but its certainly not satisfying. I no longer collect lines that have alot of exclusives. The main reason I didn't collect modern joes was because the minute the fan club started making figures I wanted (ie, Dr. Venom) and joe con exclusives... I knew that there would be too many holes in my collection. How can you have half a Night Force team (which I think were Walmart exclusives anyway.

 

I stopped collecting DCUC when they shifted to a subscription mode. Star wars is a great line bc most of their exclusives are repaints or reissues in different packaging. I never feel like i'm missing out on important pieces if I don't get a SW exclusive... Same with Marvel Legends. I wish Gi Joes were like that but I have the original vintage collection so I'm pretty full up with joe as it is

I dunno, I don't think the parts mesh well, old torso already seems dated with those super detailed pants,lol. I'd like to see another head as the one there looks like it has crappy paint.
