    When will we be seeing AoU sets?

    it's easy to mod a regular stubble or smiley face to make it compatible with Batman's mask.
  3. KingPixels
    Bootlegs to the rescue!

    This year was better than last year in terms of exclusives, but I won't be totally satisfied until they're abolished entirely.
  5. KingPixels
    Does Sheng Yuan generally do con exclusives? I don't think they've done any except Cap and Iron Man.
  6. KingPixels
    Sheng Yuan is better than Decool if you switch out the arms.

    I think the person most guilty of this is customiser Christo. I think all of his female designs have ludicrously thin waists. Look at this!

    $200 USD = $400 NZD . LEGO loves that 200% markup.

    They fixed the issue though, the Captain America set and the Avengers set had regular feet. All new SY releases will have regular feet.

    Well that's awesome.

    Whoops! You're totally right. I've updated the post with a fixed version. I've never had so much of an issue with the hands, since they generally work alright with the arms they came with. Sometimes they are a bit loose though.
  12. KingPixels
    I've made a little graphic to show the inaccuracies between LEGO and bootleg brands. Sheng Yuan's I don't mind because you can swap out the arms, and the legs aren't an issue since they fixed their moulds. Decool's moulds are a problem because you can't just switch out the torso for a LEGO one.

    I don't know why Decool doesn't just fix the problems with their moulds. If they had moulds as good as Sheng Yuan I'd buy them.

    Where from?

    I have to disagree there. Scalpers are just the scum of the industry, and it sucks that they end up with a good 80-90% of the figures.
  17. KingPixels
    I'm not blaming you for doing what you do, since it makes complete sense to buy these figures as an investment if you have the financial means, but I think that this is exactly the problem. The whole 'exclusive' nature of the figures doesn't benefit the fans and collectors, it benefits investors (not that being an investor is wrong). The minifigs stop being collectibles and start being investments. I honestly don't see why LEGO is still doing this. It doesn't benefit them, because they don't get any of the aftermarket sales. It doesn't benefit collectors and fans because 99% will never own the figures. It only benefits scalpers, who make thousands of dollars each every time LEGO does this.
  18. KingPixels
    But you're only okay with the exclusives because you're in a position financially to be able to afford them. The people who can't afford them are unhappy that their collections will have big gaps because LEGO deals with exclusives in a way that makes them insanely highly priced.
  19. KingPixels
    I don't own any SDCC figures but I'm very jealous of your collection.
  20. KingPixels
    Wait, so you're saying that you won't even be a Super Heroes collector but you'll still pay hundreds of dollars for individuals minifigs? Why not just buy bootlegs of the SDCC figures and spend the rest of the money on a retirement fund. ...or LEGO could stop releasing figures that only benefit scalpers.
  21. KingPixels
    Unlike you, most people can't justify spending hundreds of dollars on a single minifigure.
  22. KingPixels
    I'd rather there not be a Collector figure, than there be a Collector figure, but it costs $400. Preview figures in exclusive packaging is better for everyone.
  23. KingPixels
    They could make a DOFP Mystique using Aldrich Killian hair.
  24. KingPixels
    Yondu wouldn't work since LEGO doesn't have a mohawk hair piece. Korath is more likely. It's not about the fact that people won't have the Collector in their collections. It's the fact that a lot of people are completionists, and LEGO is making it impossible to have a complete set of figures.
  25. KingPixels
    Both of your originals? :o
