  1. Thanks to the OP, I scored a Cyborg Superman, black-suited Superman, and the "metallic" Steel at Kmart while visiting the parents in central Cali!!! It's been awhile since I hauled, ever since Hasbro took over the ML line, I've "sobered" up, ROFL!!!! I just need to find the blue suit Supergirl and the bat wave for DC Superheroes. Steel and Cyborg Superman are AWESOME!!!

  2. It looks like Best Buy has a lithograph, an exclusive boxed set, and some Transformers action figures for the release of the Transformers DVD. Circuit City has a baseball cap with the Autobot logo in silver(?) to the first 10 people in each store. And Target has an exclusive "transforming" DVD case.

     

    I'm leaning towards Best Buy and I'm surea lot of people are, with the Transformers figures they will be packing. These will last probably all of Tuesday, much like the 300 mini helmet exclusive!! ROFL!

  3. Cleaning my storage and this is what I have for sale for now. All prices include shipping!!! US money orders only. Shipping may be different for areas outside of the U.S.

  4. I know this is a strange request. But does anyone know of any reliable places to buy some old Dreamwave posters? I'm mainly looking for the Soundwave one, the Dinobots group shot, and the litho of Soundwave vs Blaster DJing at what looks like a rave? I didn't see any of these at comic-con last week and I've been meaning to pick them up. I know these came out not even 10 years ago and finding them is like a treasure hunt! Any info would help! Thanks guys and gals!

  5. There will always be collectors who will continue to collect a line created by the original companies. Look at the Super Powers line or the Marvel Secret Wars line. There are collectors out there who collect vintage stuff. Just like Transformers, there are a ton of bootleggers out there and people buy these knockoffs until they can find the originals at a price they can afford. Unless the reissues are just as close as the originals, which has been somewhat in regards to the Takara reissues over the U.S. Commemorative run.

     

    Either way, there will always be collectors of original lines by the original companies that produced them years ago. It's entirely up to the collector in regards to buying a knock off or a reproduction.

  6. I don't think it matters how many times a figure has been reissued. It won't be the same as the first run. When Toybiz was doing the X-Men toys in the early 1990's, Iceman was a clear white translucent figure. In later runs, he was changed to a clear blue tint. Same figure, different colors.

     

    Here's another analogy. I collect Air Jordan shoes. In the last 6-8 years, Jordan Brand has been reissuing original designs of Air Jordans. But to protect the originals, they made serious modifications, one of which is majority does NOT say Nike Air on them, rather they have the Jumpman emblem on them.

     

    If and when they reissue a yellow Daredevil, I would still consider the original rare. If prices dip on that for value, I wouldn't mind dropping $25 for it over a $10 reissue. That's just me. Look what it did for the Silver Surfer rerelease. It's the same figure except there's no sign of blue over the silver, the packaging is different, and no Howard the Duck or comic book pack in. It's a cool concept to help others fill their collections. I could care less if the value dips, I started w/ Toybiz and I will TRY to finish my ML collection within Toybiz's line with what I'm missing and is of reach within my budget.

  7. It probably is the hype. It will die out again when that Stan Lee version comes out next month out here at Comic-Con. I can't believe that DC Superheroes will have ANOTHER Mr. Freeze repaint as an exclusive!!! How many Mr. Freeze figures of the same sculpt do we need?! Honestly, the very first one from the Batman line years ago w/ the no goggles variant was AWESOME as is!!!! And I think they are putting out a redeco of Bane in camoflage??!! WTF?!?! Ah well....

  8. If it's just a sticker...anyone can scan it and make their own Silver Surfer "coins". Dang, that sucks! I was hoping they were minted and made, just like the Star Wars CIV medallions that are pure silver!

  9. I agree. There's no way companies will ever please everyone in regards to exclusives. I still think it's wrong that some of us pay admission and the opportunity to purchase these exclusives, then after the show, they are online for purchase to anyone? In my opinion, they should at least put on one day's worth of admission on top of the price they were selling the exclusive for. Again, some people may have attended a show strictly for the exclusives. You have people flying from all over the world, who have spent not only their money, but also their time, whether taking time off from work and waiting in lines.
