This is getting so cliche it's even becoming cliche to even complain about this garbage anymore. You can't tell me anyone is buying these trash books. And also must it be pointed out that Donald is not even a man so he can never become Iron MAN. They can't even get their absurdity correct. Just stop. You're not giving any boost to either side of the equation with this crap.

Average size figure with multiple accessories

I want more stuff........more smarter stuff, but I don't want to pay more for it. I'm already at absolute price-threshold. I am sick and tired of Hasbro gaming all of us. Extra hands, sure. Extra portrait--yes please, BUT make it the same as the unmasked portrait that it may come with--Banshee with sideburns on quiet head, NO SIDEBURNS on yelling head is beyond stupid. That's a deal breaker. Captain America in a wanted-look with a shattered shield---but give him an INTACT shield too. Give us Mockingbird with pr0per sleeves. Get my drift--make it USEFUL. Foot stands, flight stands. They already have this kind of common tooling. ML has steadily eroded value for the price point. It's given us questionable sculpts, weird paint deco.....only to ...ahem "correct" it some time later. Those fake little plastic comic-books------cute, but they are idiotic. A waste of effort and materials. C'mon, who thought THAT was a welcome idea?? It's trash....98% of us will NEVER use those things. Are they saying they are incompetent, that they are letting mistakes pass through?? Or is this a jerk-around game being played with loyal customers??? I want to continue to support the brand--but their policies are increasingly making me rethink that. I'm at threshold, and I'm ready to walk away. -
Man, I can eat a 65ish price tag for what should be the best 1/12 Hulk to ever be produced. But more than that just would suck. And to me personally no Hulk figure on the market has scratched the Hulk itch for me, diamond looks great but is damn near a statue and ML are just ok same with imports. I genuinely believe the Hasbro ML team will kill this new hulk but that price might be scary especially hearing that he comes with a thunderclap effect!?!? Excited but trying to reserve myself.

Easy buy for me, this will end up being a rare figure down the line. I just support this line no matter what now. I know people feel otherwise, but this is my favorite line I collect. We all know some people will pay double on the after market for him, some of the same people saying they won't get it now.

Big ol pass here. The fact I dont personally think it looks particularly good helps on top of the crap price Will be 77 CDN at Gamestop, probably more elsewhere. Even with likely appreciation I have no interest in supporting this line at that price. Hopefully it bombs at initial offering (unlikely) and they drop to 40, which still isnt great but certainly more appealing.

I am not going to pay $49.99 for this figure. For $59.99 we got the Hulkbuster Ironman. I felt that figure was overpriced, but it seems like a better value than this Spider-Man figure. Let’s compare this Spider-Man to something else of the same price that became available for preorder this week: Transformers Toys Generations War for Cybertron Deluxe WFC-S26 Autobot Alphastrike Counterforce 3-Pack - Final Strike Figure Series: Part 1. That set costs $49.99 which I believe was the same price when it was originally offered. That set includes two deluxe Autobots. One converts into a car and one splits and converts into a tank and a plane. Also included is a gun with a blast effect that converts into a robot. So for the same price of Spider-Man and his amazing webs and heads, you could get three robots that turn into three vehicles and a gun. I know which one feels like a better value…and it’s not Spider-Man.

Yeah, for 50 I really want more fx. A web "bag" and a light post to hang them from perhaps. Just not sure where the 25 comes from. I see more value that a regular figure, but not double. I think they are just counting on a Spidey selling at any price. We let them do this when a 27 dollar reg figure, 1st app, sold out and a 29.99 superior Spidey sold out too. Problem is,even if all of us on this site agree not to buy, this is gonna go fast. It's Spidey. Not sure what I'm gonna do tomorrow. I worked some EE magic to get Phoenix at a price I felt ok about, and have to say, I love that figure and stand. But don't think the stand constituted 25 bucks. But still haven't seen her any lower than 47 bucks. So overall glad I have her, annoyed at the price still. So Hulk, with waaay more plastic for each effect and the TB 20th figure was 50 or 60, is gonna be what? 80- 100? I'm scared, cause I can pass up a Spidey, but not a Hulk.

That's my issue also. This costs the same as 2 regular figures? Why? When I paid $49.99 for the deluxe Phoenix I at least knew that I would use the display stand base. I know that a lot of people thought $50 was absurd for that. I also know that most other accessories that I buy tend to end up in a storage bin never to be seen again. That is especially true with alternate heads and hands unless I use them for kitbashes or customs of figures that Hasbro refuses to make. I rarely swap anything out otherwise. I don't know. $35-$40 and I was in. At $50, I think that I'm out and that's a shame because I really, really like the actual figure itself. I just couldn't care less about most of what comes with it, which I guess is the whole point of the Maximum line.

All prices will be in CDN. So, as a Transformers collector, different size classes used to scale with each other and each with their price range. We have the deluxe class at around 36$, the Voyager class at around 47$ and the Leader class at around 76$. Each size class comes with its own engineering. Recently, Hasbro has been selling Transformers collectors voyager size figures at the leader class size but with added accessories and enhanced engineering to justify the price point. This ranges from logical such as Optimus Prime coming with his trailer that turns into a jetpack and a weapons bay to illogical: the infamous Legacy Blitwing with those 'hands' or Springer's 'iconic hammer'. Now that Marvel Legends seems to have entered the fray. I want to ask collectors, do you support Hasbro doing something similar in Marvel Legends, like with this Maximum series? Because I would have preferred if this Spider-Man was a deluxe figure at a deluxe price point. This feels like a deluxe figure. I don't feel like paying the equivalent of a leader class price for it.

Wow, sneaky Hasbro. It's double the price of a regular Legend. Obviously, the production doesn't cost that. If it sells, it's a huge win for them. If people wait for the sale, it will go to a "real" price, and they will recover and even have a minor profit. We should wait until it's on crazy sale like Shiar Professor X, but Spiderman, of course, will sell after the first discount.
