MiniMage Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Please, no more.... I sympathize with people who are missing parts of their collection, but if we keep remaking ones that aren't new anymore, we'll never get anything new. What he said . I second third this.

youbastards Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 It's only Ultron overkill if you treat movie and comic characters as the same thing, which they're not. Diamond's wave numbering disagrees with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnim zola Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) Wasn't it revealed recently that part of the marvel contract says that comic mates have to tie in with movie mates to prevent market confusion or something? I've been under the impression that we've had all these ultrons this year because we have to. Edited July 20, 2015 by arnim zola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been under the impression that we've had all these ultrons this year because we have to. Thought it was the opposite. Hence why no comic GOTG last year.

MisterPL Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Yes, generally Marvel will push the movie version of the property in a movie year "to avoid brand confusion" and promote the film. Unless, of course, the Marvel film in question is being produced by Fox, in which case they'll allow licensees to offer comic-based versions (IE - Days of Future Past) as tie-ins, creating potential "brand confusion" and profiting directly from Fox's marketing campaign.

Zak Katz Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Stack, you can say they're different lines, but they are still Ultron. Drones or Prime or bulked-up, doesn't matter it's overkill. If it makes you happy I'll put this here (all of this is my opinion) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undeadpool Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 As someone who has very few holes in his collection, I feel if a character hasnt been made in 5 or more years, they are fair game, Old Man Logan doesnt really fit that bill because we have seen plenty of Wolverines, but for me its a special case because he will be joining the main X-men team at the end of Secret Wars so Im happy to get another to add to that line up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CortherX Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 OMG undeadpool you just blew my mind. i never even thought of adding the Old Man Logan mate to my X-Men team, but now it's so obvious! thanks, bro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stegron01 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I figure any character is fair game as DST has the absolute prerogative to make what they want. However, there are plenty of characters that we don't have at all and thus have zero opportunity to own, so I'd much rather see new characters in lcs waves (the only place Zach has said we are likely to get them) than ones we already have, irrespective of whether they were made 5 years ago or even 11 years ago - at least they are out there and can be tracked down, albeit sometimes for a price.

Nessex Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Yeah - i'm mostly in the ;new characters camp'. However, i can be swayed in the case of significant alternate looks for already existing characters.For example, if DST ever found a reason to make a Second Coming era Rogue, i'd be on board. Probably not so much if they went with her hot pink Shi'ar space adventure costume.Ah - who am i kidding. I'd totally buy both! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSTZach Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 True, unmade characters are more likely to debut at LCS, because they're theoretically more obscure and therefore a harder sell, but there might be unmade characters who suddenly rise to prominence, or new characters who get a really big push, or even themed waves that allow us to finally work in some of the big names we missed. Spider Gwen may not count as new (Gwen Stacy X Spider-Man), but she'll be at TRU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloDelorean Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I know this is an older thread, but does anyone know why the standard cases in this wave were packed 4-4-2-2? My LCS still has some of the heavy packs from this wave... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Because 4-4-2-2 is better than 4-4-3-1? Which would be the alternative as I cannot see DST doing all God cases. And girls are icky! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
