I've invested so much money into Marvel Universe already, that I would hate to have to just quit the line. I may have to do that though just to keep up with Marvel Legends again. I believe I will have to stop buying the Marvel Universe Comic Packs and the Box Sets. The Comic Packs always seem to be re-released single-carded later and the box sets seem to be just variants of previous releases. Display space is becoming a big issue for me as well. I'm going to have to start being more selective about what I can display too. I stopped buying Marvel Select some time ago. The only real draw for me were the bases because I could use them with my Legends. $23.00 is just too much for a base though. That's good to know about Nick Fury. I probably should get him if I see him then. I've had other figures I've waited until later for and regretted it. I'm doing well too, thank you.

Hope you can say the same. Had to almost completely cut out the Marvel Universe line myself, but I plan on getting all the Marvel Legends I can get my hands on, and I am glad to see some 6 inch figures again. I have also been collecting the Marvel Select line recently, and I have the movie figures from that line. A word of advice, if you find the Nick Fury, buy it then. I passed on it but intended to go back and get it. Haven't been able to find another one, despite the three cases they have put on the shelves. I'm doing well. Hope you can say the same.

How have you been? I was tempted to get Lord Asgard Thor because the new paint apps on him do look much better, but I just couldn't do it. Collecting action figures has become so much more expensive these last few years. I have so many lines that I collect, that I'm going to have to start to cut out some of the repeats, repaints, etc. Mainly in the Marvel Universe line, I suppose. We still haven't seen the Captain America figures here yet. I will pick up a movie Cap, but I'll pass on Ultimate Captain America since I have him already. I still haven't decided on Nick Fury yet. These would have probably sold much better if they would've had these ready when the movies came out, instead of month's later. Good to hear from you John! How have you been?

At $14.88, got to be a little picky about what I buy. Also happy to get a couple new 6" figures. Picked up Loki, probably will Thor, but the rest are repaints of previous Marvel Legends figures.

You'd think they'd like all of the free advertising they can get. Hopefully, later this week I can launch the new look. I still have some menu issues to fix and I want to be as prepared as possible. I'm still going to have some last minute adjustments though, I'm sure. I'm still re-painting some of the furniture in the Sci-Fi Room this week, before I can start getting it cleaned up for the new pictures. I've been sanding, painting and dusting for months now and I'm ready for it to be done. There just isn't enough time to work on the site lately. ;) Looks like Sony blocked it, sorry.

I agree that Hasbro certainly made some mistakes when they took the reins. I am hoping though, that with the time they spent shifting their focus to the Marvel Universe line, that they have had time to learn from past mistakes. I think that character selection in the Marvel Universe line has been outstanding. I am hoping that trend follows suit in Legends too. There are still way too many A-lister repeats for my tastes, but I have started to choose to more selectively buy the comic packs, box sets and repaints. I intend to do the same for whatever spin-off's they come up with for Legends as well. The thing that I am most disappointed in already was the shift from the previously mentioned no longer including BaF parts, to now they are back to including BaF parts. I was hoping to be able to pick and choose which characters I would buy when they first mentioned no more BaF's. Now, I will have to buy all of the wave once again. I'm really trying to remain hopeful that things will be better this time though. I watch custom Marvel Legends figures on E-Bay too. There are definitely some talented customizers out there. I just don't have $50.00 to $150.00 (or more.) to spend on custom figures though. Hi Doug! I agree that Hasbro certainly made some mistakes when they took the reins.

Marvel Legends should have stayed securely in the hands of Toybiz. Shifting the focus to Hasbro has not only hurt Toybiz but Also Marvel. The entire reason I began to read comics again in 2003 was because of the Marvel Legends figures. I even began buying back issues to find out what happened in comics before 2003, supporting comic book shops with my hard-earned money. This brand has been on life support ever since Hasbro took over. If Hasbro continues to mess up Marvel Legends with their continual corner-cutting than I will select to leave the line altogether. How will I complete my collection you ask...there are dedicated customizers and ebay sellers out there that will sell their items to me on a secondary market. I will no longer purchase off the rack ML figures anymore if the same mistakes continue to be made into 2012 Wow, where to begin…

]]> Comment on New Marvel Select Avengers at the Disney Store by LegendsCrazyhttp://legendscrazy.net/new-marvel-select-avengers-at-the-disney-store/#comment-542 LegendsCrazy Thu, 01 Sep 2011 17:54:06 +0000 http://legendscrazy.net/?p=3590#comment-542 Hey TripleHBK! The price is what made me pass on Hawkeye last weekend. Like you said, it's just so hard to justify that much money for one figure. It seems like that price-point is becoming normal though. I really like the Avengers but like you said these aren't in scale with Legends, so you really have to keep them separate and display space is currently becoming a big issue for me. With Legends about to start again, I really have to start picking which lines are more important to me. I think Marvel Select and Marvel Universe are going to have to be the losers in where my dollars continue to go. Hey TripleHBK! The price is what made me pass on Hawkeye last weekend.

It's a shame that they charge $23 for these things though. Even for a collector that's pretty darn steep. The molds are nice as always, although I wish Cap's shield wasn't so cartoony and looked a bit more used. My only other real problem with the line is that I wish it was in scale with the Marvel legends line. I probably would have bought tons of Marvel Select figures if the scale had been better... but as it is these sculpts always tower over everyone else so unless the figure is an improved sculpt over the Marvel Legend version (Emma Frost) or it's an entirely new figure not released elsewhere, I usually skip these.

I hadn't realized the packaging was a Hammer. Most photos I've seen were of Thor alone, or Thor in the package but zoomed in to the point that the handle was missing.
