I'm wondering why most of the teams (X-Force, Cyclops' X-Men, Emma's X-Men) have multiple telepaths? Are there more dangerous psychic enemies out there? And yet the Uncanny team has none. Not to mention, Wolvie's team is mostly physical/stealth. No psychics, only one short range teleporter, and not even a "smart" character for science-y questions.

Cost definitely stopped me on these latest releases. The price for a single figure is getting prohibitively high. I'm also really tired of buying the figures I do want at full price, only to see them go on sale down the road for as much as 75% off or more. If that's what it takes to sell the figures, split the difference and just lower the prices. I know that's not how the economy works, but it's a thought.

Marvel Legends Comic Based Ronan the Accuser Revealed!?!
Silvermaen replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
I also prefer outfits like BBTS that don't take the money before the prepaid is available. I can honestly go the gift card route to use Paypal, but again, it means I'm paying for something and they can use my money until they decide to release the item. -

As a devout Paypal user, I disapprove of the Amazon exclusives. No Paypal, no purchase. Hopefully I'll see this when it transfers the rest of the inventory to BBTS or EE -
Marvel Legends 2022 Haslab Live-Stream Coverage

Cowardly at best Hasbro! When you're not going to release "demonic" characters, do you really have to fix the underboob? Have you seen the Satana figure that you released just a few years ago? I don't remember you folding because she was comic accurate. I'm relieved as an X collector that I'm not missing the true Goblin Queen. I'll wait til they replace the CEO with someone who understands the fanbase better. Til then, I'll stick with my kitbash of Emma Frost's black costume with the Dark Phoenix head -
Marvel Legends 2022 Haslab Live-Stream Coverage
Silvermaen replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
I was just looking back at the HISS and realized that not only was it less expensive, it also had smaller tiers. The 12k that opens up the first tier for Mephisto already had 2 tiers opened on the HISS. The base production is 1000 more than the HISS and the tiers appear to be based on 3k, where the HISS tiers were 2k. Smaller and smaller chance that I will be backing this project barring something amazing. -

This has got to be the backup plan. Whether or not the Hellcharger goes into production, they have a mockup of Mephisto that they can release to Fan Channel or pre-order. I wouldn't be surprised to see Mephisto come out later as a premium on Fan Channel anyway. Possibly alongside a retro-carded Robbie GR. Or gods forbid they do a GR line for the anniversary, with both Robbies, BAF Mephisto or Blackheart, etc. etc. They're not going to lose on this project regardless. With any hope, we collectors won't either, Haslab backers or not. -

The Haslab format is not bad in and of itself. It's an attempt to verify sales before undertaking an expensive project that could potentially fail at the general market level. By guaranteeing their market, they can produce items that would otherwise go unmade. That said, I'm still disappointed in this recent offering. The Cobra HISS ended up with 4 figures and a bunch of additions for a lower price. While 3 are already available for this, only 2 are "unique" in my opinion. Why do we need a Robbie when there is no Dan or Johnny? It's also a "one or the other" situation. The figures for the Cobra HISS could all be displayed together. For the Hell Charger, it's likely that only one or the other will be displayed. The Rider with the flames, or Robbie with the Street version. I'm loving that Mephisto is an offering for the first unlockable tier. I'm still going to have to see what comes after that to justify $350 though. -

Yeah, this doesn't say $350 yet. I'll be watching to be sure, but it won't break my heart yet to miss this. -
Hasbro Marvel Legends Live-Stream For August 10 Coverage
Silvermaen replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
Love the Spidey 5-pack, but totally pissed at the fact that the D+ line is mostly What if, but has a BAF of Khonshu! I loved the Moon Knight figures, so I hope this comes out as a single release later. -
