I totally agree...I've been reading old back issues as well, and even stories I didn't like at the time I find to be great compared to what's coming out now. There are a few good new stories (HoX/PoX, Batman White Knight, etc.), but they seem few and far between.

I was right there with you up until the last statement. Sounds like a rehash of an old story, silly premise, and boring art. Still...it's the X-Men. How can I not pick it up? (Yes, I AM part of the problem)

"Giant-Man is the tallest hero yet designed for the Marvel Legends line..." I was about to call bull$#!+, then realized it said HERO. Can't believe he's almost half the price of the earlier HasLabs...I guess electronics are REALLY expensive.

How easy do you think it would be to remove the pinstripes from the jacket? A little paint thinner or acetone? Worried that the soft jacket may melt. I ask because I have a Shadow King head that's looking for a body, and this ain't half bad:

Ah, but will my Shadow King head fit on this new Kingpin body?

Could it be because that headsculpt is awful? I see more Robert DeNiro than Andrew Garfield in that face. Heck, I see more Garfield the Cat than Andrew Garfield in it...

I find it amusing that the effects that were designed for handguns are now being used for beakers.

I'm disappointed that Wolverine's colours don't quite match. Looks like he got the "deluxe" belt too, with molded X instead of a printed one like the rest of the team. Minor quibbles, I know, but when trying to make a unified look...

Yeah, I thought so. The story itself said Chamber, and wasn't sure if it was a typo, or if the contents of the pack had changed.

Chamber or Random? I REALLY want Chamber, but not if I have to get three figures I don't want (Random is really the only one in this set I want...and maybe Pretty Boy, but not enough to get all five)

It's funny...back in the day, I took the head and wings from a Hasbro Banshee, and put them on a blue and yellow Wolverine body that came with Forge. Looks very similar to this new one, and loads better than Hasbro's first attempt. Those were dark times for Marvel Legends...

Is that a whole new mould, or just a retooling of the BAF? Some of the parts look very similar. Which could be a bonus...I could put the BAF head (one of the few parts I have of the original) on the new body...

For some reason, I got a perverse joy out of watching the numbers drop. I think because I felt like it was priving fans were finally sick of Hasbro dicking us around. Anyway, point being, between articles on here and my own checking, I WAS tracking the numbers: Sept 23 (early bird deadline): 6,118 backers By Sept 28 it had dropped to 5,419 backers Sept 29 saw a slight increase to 5,452 (when Robbie head was announced) And today it's at 5,411. Overall it's lost 707 backers or 11.6% since the early bird deadline was not met.

I am so confused. Has Ghost Rider (ANY GR) ever even met Maddie? If this was a Spidey HasLab, I could forgive the randomness of including an X-Villain, but this is just bonkers. I'm not even convinced GR's hell and Maddie's (Magik's) Limbo are the same thing...

Chamber?!? YESSSSS!!! Another half-started custom I can stop working on...
