The Scarlet Spider

 I get rather tired of lines that try to force collectors into going all-in or nothing, especially at inflated prices.

*cough* blind bags *cough*

That was amazing PL thanks for sharing that! If I start collecting these now, I'm blaming you (Thank you xD)

Besides rocket I think this is a much improved set. I need to get that rabbit though. 

Edit: do you guys think the Howard legs with some mods would work for raccoon feet and paws?

Heck I'd take rabbit legs over these. I just think the stubs are silly.

I really hope the Alice figures hit eventually, because now I want an extra White Rabbit for Rocket's legs more than ever. 

I don't think I've ever seen that tenime, pics? Cause unless I can do something to this rocket, he's fodder. 

I think Rocket looks ridiculous but that's just my opinion. I was hoping for smaller minimate body (like kid body/Howard the duck) this is just silly to me. Groot looks like little baby gumby which I like though. Star Lord looks much better than the first movie mate.

ha! Morrison's run is one of my all time favorite X-Men runs, and I've been reading X-Men since 1989. I have an affinity for the Claremont era, the 2000's stuff and even all of the 90's excess in-between. heck, I even enjoyed Jason Aaron's wolverine and the X-Men! 

I've been thinking about picking up the Aaron Wolverine trade collection, you recommend it?

Don't worry.  They'll be on eBay.

Oyyyy.... eBay is a wonderful and frightening place. ?

My comic shop has a bunch of marvel legends if anyone needs anything. I don't quite know the prices. They still have spider-verse stuff. I say Scarlet Spider and regular Ben Reilly Spidey but I couldn't pull the trigger. I can't get sucked into this line >.< (although with scalping and the secondary market the prices honestly aren't that different) 

If DST can start producing playsets then may gods help our wallets. I've been trying to start buying materials to make playsets as well

This line continues to impress me yet keep me at a safe distance because of costs. I really want to start collecting these but I know I'd have to have em all. 

Like Nervous, art is make or break for me and while I enjoy the character of the Silver Surfer the last book I saw the art was not to my liking. I do like the new Thor, I like the OML books although only after he came to 616. The origin book was eh imo. I also really like Moon Knight. Aside from that I don't really know if there's anything else I'd see worth reading. I hate the "let's give everyone a symbiotie" gimmick. I know I've said it before but I can't say it enough. I get Deadpool is their cash cow right now and they have to keep moving his books but bleh. Speaking of gimmicks Doom as Iron Man looks... interesting? As he's my favorite character I guess I'm gonna pick up the trade of Ben Reilly'a return/Clone Conspiracy when it comes out. 

I wish you luck too NerdyTrev! I feel like Marvel NEEDS fresh blood. Like i said with one word on the other thread ... bendis... yes he had a good run writing comics but I feel like Marvel is drowning in the ink of some of its senior writers. I'd take Luke's Minimate Comic over a lot of new stuff that Marvel's been pumping out and Luke's Comic was only a tiny run without much room for character development but it was fresh. i make stories with my mates too but I'll probably always be too eh to post em. I definitely look forward to seeing any new minimate comics that are put up though, I know Luke is working on some and I hope you do as well!

  Space-Heater Bros! Also, if you don't mind me asking, what are you studying?

 As for the Ben book, eh, I might give it a shot. I'll be dropping Star Wars and probably Hellblazer, so I can squeeze that in. He's a classic character and I'm trying to support as many of them as I can. And honestly, I could use a more "traditional" Spider-Book, since TASM has basically become Iron Man, especially now that both IM titles are... "strange". Either way, the Creative Team, plus the revival of a beloved relic from the 90s and whatnot will probably be enough for me. Compared to the GotG announcement that did nothing for me, this SS book is a step in the sorta-right direction.

I know it may sound like mad science or science fiction to some people (although isn't that what most of us spend our time reading about with comics?) but I want to go into Bio-Gerontology. There are some companies making some headway in stopping/slowing aging. I've always feared death so i figured if I'm gonna have a career it might as well be something I deem worth spending my life on and something I'm passionate about. I mean it'd be like having a super power if I was ever successful. Don't get me wrong people with reservations about the ability to stop aging are right to have them, as there's a lot of involved in achieving something like this as aging is multifaceted, but I've already done quite a few research papers on it and I wouldn't be spending thousands of dollars at university if I didn't think it had a chance of happening, haha . The program I hope to get into this next semester will give me useful experience to get a starting position at one of the major companies after I graduate. 

I really like this thread. Sometimes it seems as though the forum are the only people besides my girlfriend that I talk to! I'm hoping this year is better than the last but my girlfriend just moved about two hours away because she recently had to leave where she was staying due to  money issues :/ Now she lives with her mom and is hopefully pursuing her career until we can live together after this semester. This semester is full of tough classes and I have to keep my GPA at at least a 3.0, but I think Kostis just made me thankful for the American University system. And I feel you about the heating problems though, buddy, space heater bros for life. My heat is non existent here as well.  Best of luck in your studies too!

i too am on the fence about continuing to collect. Marvel mates as well as new comics. With the return of Ben Reilly, my favorite character tied with Pete I don't really know what to think. His new costume is super spidercide like and I'm not sure if it was on purpose but to me it kinda looks silly. Especially with his little mouth in the mask. I've been waiting for the clone conspiracy trade to see what's been going on but it feels like yet another gimmick by marvel. I hate the new symbiotes taking over thing. I hate giving Deadpool the costume to milk his popularity. Thompson was actually interesting and I wanted it to continue in that direction.

As far as mates go distribution, distribution, and distribution. I'm fed up with scalpers and not being able to find minimates and blind bags and even when I find the chases they aren't complete and DST doesn't do anything to fix it. I don't want to give up and I suppose these complaints about minimates are minor but the small things add up especially when you're a supporter of the company and have to work and put in extra effort to give them your money. I'm so close to just being able to only buy new waves so I don't want to quit but if blind bags continue in marvel I guess it'll at least save me quite a bit of cash. 

I need help finding god trades/the collection of dark reign/avengers and siege. From what I've read it's great but I don't know what to buy and what order.

Didn't Siege/Dark Avengers?come out of secret invasion? I dug that. 

I would like a misty knight figure, and bullseye is in serious need of a rerelease, I know it's a classic but I was never too big a fan of the yellow DD but it ain't gonna hurt me to have him released. I dig your waves but I'd prefer an army builder of some sort be thrown in there. 

God I can't imagine collecting this line, one blind bag assortment is enough to make me want to quit Marvel.

Seriously, if we got Planet of the Apes, that'd be it. Minimates is so Mego thanks to all the properties under a single toy brand but the one I've been missing is PotA. (Although PotC would have me jazzed, too.)

While scrolling past i thought you were suggesting Veggie tales mates

I thought the one with Kaine Scarlet Spider was 3.5, my comment was just about me wanting moon knight. I don't care about what Wave he's in as long as he's soon. 

Moon Knight was in Ultimate Spidey, hopefully we get him in wave 3.5/4!

Pirates of the Caribbean? Hopefully? 

Theres a new movie coming out and could be a game? 

Plus a Keira Knightly minimate would be a great likeness for Simmons from Agents of Shield XD
