  1. Tarot's right New York Comicon is coming up, it's a little too early for wishlists. I'm still counting the days!!! By the way a Dragon Man BAF idea rivals the Fing Fang Foom we are getting. That way the Dragon Man would at least be in scale. One of the better BAF ideas that I have heard.
  2. The more I read Secret Invasion related material the more I want new Super Skrull related figures. I haven't read Secret Invasion #1 yet but, I have just read New Avengers #39 and they had a Daredevil disguised Super Skrull that had the powers of Firestar, Cyclops, Night Clawler, and Wolverine with Claws! I don't know about you but after Secret Invasion I want a Super Skrull box set because the whole concept of this power combination is absolutely awesome.
  3. It's a great place if you avoid scalper prices, and looking at the history of the seller to make sure they are reliable. The only thing is the hassle of paying for shipping and waiting for the product, but it is alot better than not having it. Ebay is a Marvel Legends collector's best friend, when used carefully.
  4. No, thats a custom hopefully wave two will have a Stealh blue one it will sell fast though.
  5. This is so totally off topic so forgive me now. But Captian America was wrong in Civil War? Are you really serious about that? Since the heroes started working for Sheild, we have seen all sorts of things wrong with shield I'm only going to name two. One Skrulls are throughout the fifty state initiative, and two the anti-mutant terrorist religion group the Purifiers has spies in Shield. Now why would Captain America of all people be for wanting to fight and put people in prison that he fought along side him, mind you put in prison without trial. Just my opinion. What would really be funny if Stark turned out to be a Skrull who would be your real man then? But something that is on topic, A thing that I did not add on my list is the Warbound, the new Abomination, unleashed Sentry from WWH, and a Modern Hulkbuster armor. Uh-oh! Now you opened a can-a-worms!!! The editorial staff at Marvel has provided an easy "out" for both Captain America and Tony Stark's responses to the REGISTRATION ACT. Looks like it was all really the fault of the Skrulls. Steve Rogers will inevitably turn up alive (thus negating what was hailed as a "gutsy" editorial decision into more chickens***), and Tony Stark may actually be a Skrull (thus supporting the opinions of the far-leftwing editorial staff at MARVEL). So, in other words, no matter what side you came down on in the Civil War, if you enjoyed the story and thought it was ballsy, the joke's really on you because, in the grand tradition of second-rate comics writing, they're going to undo all of the things that made the story interesting to begin with (Cap's death, Stark's decision, the Illuminati, etc) But anyway...Yes, Captain America was WRONG in the Civil War. Dead wrong. 100% wrong. Before I answer, you need to put the Civil War in context. This entire story-line was Marvel's lame-brain attempt to make "a statement". They wanted to have a story that would attempt to draw parallels to the real world, namely the war on terror that began on 9/11 (and the left's war on the war on terror). However, once again, Marvel's editorial staff failed. Not because they're not good writers, but because they don't know jack about politics, or the US Constitution, or world affairs. In other words, they're leftists. They wanted to make a correlation between the Patriot Act (which I wholeheartedly support), Guantanamo Bay Prison (which I also support 100% and hope they never close), and Abu Ghraib (which was NOT torture at all), etc. In other words, they were trying, like all good leftys, to attack the concept of defending freedom. And they failed. In the context of the story, they failed because Stark was right. Super-powered individuals do NOT have the right to act outside the boundaries of the law. By doing so, they are taking the law into their own hands, and engaging in vigilantism, which is ILLEGAL in the real world. Stark adopted the government's position because it made sense to do so. The people have an absolute right to know if individuals with potentially dangerous abilities are living in their midst. Now, why did Captain America disagree? Simple. Marvel needed to have someone to disagree, and since they've been systematically wussifying Cap since 9/11, it made perfect sense to use him. I've always thought they had it backwards. Cap, as written, is from the 40's. He's an old fashioned law-n-order guy. In addition, during WW II, he was a Government Agent! More likely than not, he would have SUPPORTED the Registration Act. Conversely, Stark had the most to lose since he's a very wealthy man, and the news of his identity could adversely affect his company's stock. It would have made far more sense for Cap to support the Registration Act, and for Stark to oppose it. But the editors at Marvel aren't that smart. So they chose the dummy-version of the story. And it stunk. So YES...I would have supported Stark (excluding all the Skrull nonsense). His position was right. Cap's was wrong. #US1# I'm am not going to make this into a big arguement, I agree that the super powered people should be regulated. My point was that the system that is used is unstable and just as unsafe as having vigilantes running around. Now instead of a Stamford Conneticut we get an all out invasion of alein forces upon American soil, and also the near destruction of the eastern seaboard partially brought by systems that are supposed to protect people (Registration Act and Illuminati). Also Cap is not the same good soldier from the 1940's and maybe part of this change was the fact of him questioning the Democarcy he fought for and seeking what he sought as true justice (i.e. his decision to fight against the registration act). This could show Cap being his own man breaking free of the the identity as the face of America, and defining himself not letting his country define him. I was wrong when I thought Cap was right, because even Cap agreed that he was wrong in the end his quest to seek true justice at the cost of the American people was selfish. With reference to when he beat up the Punisher, Cap said he was not like him but his actions during Civil War proved differently. He gave up his freedom of self-defintion for national security that this a leftist ideal. I guess I gave into the idea that most do, since he is Captain America he is always right. Yes, you are right that Cap was wrong with all the nonsense aside. But with all of the nonsense in the mix it looks like what Cap fought for was right. So I fold I am not going to agrue my points, because after further thought, THEY WERE NOT VALID!!!!
  6. My advice is wait two weeks for New York Comicon to come around. New York Comicon is one of the Big three cons for toy collectors, Alot of your question will be answered then. Be patient, we waited four months now to hear about whats going on with wave four. What's another two weeks?
  7. I am hoping for good stuff, I was really expecting San Diego Comicon to have the anwers to the questions we have been asking for, I forgot that the New York Comicon is an important one also. Well, it's alot better than waiting until July. I couldn't believe for a second that they were cancelling the line, it just wouldn't make any sense considering they put Jesse Falcon on board, and we got alot of stuff at Toy Fair. But it is easier to spread a rumor than speak the truth.
  8. Well it looks like Jesse Falcon is having a major influence on Hasbro and how they are making toys. Though we are in a dead period for Marvel Legends toy news, it looks like we are getting a major upgrade from what we saw last year. I am very excited just from reading that article. We are going to get old Marvel Legends quality. If this year's Marvel Legends look as good as the Legendary Comic Heroes, (which I think is going to happen) I will be very happy and I will tell all Hasbro bashers to SHUT UP!

  10. Mutant Zero is the Scarlett Witch.
  11. The problem with opening figures is you don't know what will happen to them. One of the your cherished rare figures can fall off the display stand and break to pieces, now you're screwed because it takes major cash to get a new one. I opened up my Iron Man Figures for the Armory now I regret it because eveytime i look up on the shelve I think thier going to fall and go to pieces. I'm planning on buying more Iron Man movie figures just to keep in the box. Packaged figures look cool displayed too, I really don't have a problem with either way. Also think about it this way if you get in a tight jam on money you can always sell them to get you by, in the most extreme cases. When selling figures it is always better to have them in the box.
  12. Wow alot of people must of thought this topic was an April fools joke and didn't even bother to view it. Oh well I hope the people that placed bids which is only people from the forum it looks like get those figures. If I see I rare figures that I'm not going to buy I'll try posting it here so you guys can know. I know its hard to shop and get rare figures at good prices.
  13. Well I still think Black Bolt is one of the strongest on the area of earth. I believe that Black Bolt Hulk beat up was a Skrull imposter.
  14. That really makes sense, because we look at the Spider-man 3 movie figures last year stayed on shelves, well they are still on shelves. Delaying the Marvel Legends wave to give the Iron Man toys time to sell is a good idea. Because after awhile I'm not going to want to see Iron Man movie figures around. By awhile I mean, May of 2009, I want to see new product on the shelves by then. Hopefully holding out on the Marvel Legends line these toys can sell and make room for new stuff.
  15. That would problably cost more than buying it on ebay they always have them on there. Just shop around I found a seller that sold the regular Super Skrull for 25.00 and the two variants for 16.00 each. If you want the variants check my profile for a topic I just posted there are some up on ebay that haven't been bidded on yet there is a possibililty of getting both for under 20.00. As far as the regular one goes just hunt on ebay an I'm sure you'll find one in the 20 to 30 dollar range.

  17. I want to see an Odin and Surftur two pack, a new X-Force box set, a Wrecking Crew box set, Illuminati #5 Super Skrulls, a Red Hulk, Inhumans box set, Gladiator and the Imperial Guard, O.N.E Squad Sentinels, Prowler, Mac Gargon Venom, Modern Luke Cage, and Heralds of Galactus Box set.
  18. Well, I was window shopping on Ebay, since I'm broke right now and can't buy figures like I want to I saw some pretty rare figures you guys might want to check out Phasing Vision, Both Super Skrull Variants, Wasp Variant, and Series Five Red Skrull. I posted this topic because someone might be looking for these figures. And I know this forum is supposed to help collectors out so, here is the link http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZrattleme1
  19. Problably 30-50 dollars. I try to make the limit around 40 dollars that how much I paid for FF Classics Super Skrull MOC after shipping. I don't pay high prices anymore I have learned to shop around and look for the best price. I know people say if you really want the figure you will pay, but if you really really want the figure that won't slash your budget to pieces you will shop around and get a good bargin. I have noticed when you do that getting the figure gives you greater satisfaction.
  20. This is just a heads up to anyone who doesn't know that Big Bad Toy Store has some of the older Marvel Legends variants from Wave 2 up for sale. I warn you now it is a little pricey. @smilepunch@ Here is the link http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product...amp;mode=retail
  21. Yeah, I went on Toyglobe a few months back and they had that Marvel Heroes line still up for preorder, even though it was confirmed that it was cancelled months before. You can't trust a site like Toyglobe for information, as far as Black Bolt being in the same wave as King Hulk that would make sense because isn't that one of the people he fights in WWH? Maybe the Hulk wave will be a WWH wave. Maybe Hasbro is re-thinking wave four and the rest of the year's waves to avoid the masses of complaints that they recieved from last year. People complained about some of Hasbro's figures being too rushed, maybe they are actually putting in time to give a good well articulated, well painted product. With Jesse Falcon on board maybe now they are working to show us good product. I bet anyone by Comicon we will have some suprises in the ML or Marvel Toy world, but I think they will be good and not a complete cancellation of the line. Once again this topic started because of information from Toyglobe, who had the Marvel Heroes line up for preorder 3 months after it was cancelled. Here's and old saying, "Rumors and lies circle around the world, before truth can even get it's pants on". We can't worry over specualtion, only facts. #US1#
  22. Me and you both, me and you both. I love Black Bolt too, sucks finally I get an oppurtunity to get him and he is taking forever to hit stores, I'll just be patient.
  23. Check this game out it looks awesome! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZWeM1sj-To Rhodes: Tony you're not a Soldier! Tony: You're damn right I'm not I'm an army.
  24. I found this two pack on ebay, I have never seen this before, here is the link http://cgi.ebay.com/Thanos-vs-Adam-Warlock...1QQcmdZViewItem
