Thanks for your reply. I presume you can read and write Chinese. Are you based outside of China / HK? i.e. do they deliver internationally? Cheers. Interesting. Very helpful. Thanks mate.

Agree that the minifigure selection is very disappointing, though I also am loving the Hill and Fury figs -- but I'm not $350 loving them...

Have any non-Chinese speakers / readers manage to order from TaoBao by any chance? How did you do it, did you use Google translate? Were you successful? What currency did you pay? I guess I am asking for a kind of AMA... Thanks!

You are not alone. I bought some handmade custom (decal) of Gemini, Nightclub, etc.) for a pretty pricey per fig price (certainly pricey relative to the bootlegs for sure)...

Holy... I thought I was going to skip the Helicarrier, but I'm very tempted now...

Meh, I wish SY and / or Decool would just go ahead and make the rest of the Iron Man Armory that hasn't been done yet (Disco, Blue Steel, Tiger etc.)

I wonder which of the two SDCC Rockets (SY vs DC) is better, has Digger or anyone else made a comparison? p.s. as an aside, it's interesting to note that for those who want the standalone SDCC Rocket, it's actually cheaper to source the official TLG polybag (e.g. eBay)... this is a great move by TLG as I've been pushing for...

Totally off-topic, but can you really make a lot of money on a Youtube account? That had never occurred to me to be quite honest...

Just a general comment on the Mech builds (Sentinel and now Hulkbuster and Rhino) -- in a word: I'm not a fan. - Minifigures obviously the best. - Next bigfigs (in some cases can be good -- Hulk being the best example) ... ... - then Mechs (which are generally awful) but let me try and explain why: starting with the obvious fact that they don't really fit in seamlessly with other minifigs (esp for display purposes) but the biggest reason is simply that the designs have frankly been kind of crap -- there I said it.

I thought Thor was supposed to have metallic arms? Perhaps its just the lighting?

You took the words right out of my mouth. I had planned on grabbing a bunch of TLG Groot parts + SY version of Groot + others bits and pieces to make my own Groot, but then BOOM, Decool solves all of my problems. Yes!

Is anyone else disappointed with the Ultron minifigs in general? I was really hoping for a cool Ultron helmet, but to be quite honest, feeling pretty underwhelmed....

Does anyone else think that the shoulder / head section of Hulk could be removable? That seam in the mold seems to indicate it?

Are you using the helmet from one of the previous versions (SY or Decool, I can't remember)?

Anyone know what happened to AE seller MRF Trade? http://www.aliexpress.com/store/1084017 I had a bunch of their stuff in my cart and all of the sudden -- POOF? Anyone have any experience with them?

Thanks!

Any link? Thanks in advance!

I wish SY would upgrade to the rounded arms. They'd be near perfect then.

Gotta say, I'm not a fan of any of those re-designs...

Thanks for letting us know. Personally, I wouldn't dare risk damage to my minifigs even if the jumpers were working properly (unless they were duplicates or knock-offs)...

Oh wow, I must have missed that update. Sweet!

Did we get an official Sandman?

Don't know if this has been posted before, but looks like Dargo has a new set -- it features a Superior Spider-Man (looks like an MRM knock-off -- sans the leg printing) link here: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/4pcs-Super-Hero-Avengers-Alliance-Minifigures-Building-Blocks-free-shipping-compatible-with-Lego-LR-220/32219274524.html

Any ideas which Iron Man mark this is supposed to be? Is this a new design of a previously released Mark or a new one?

I guess that would be me? :) Here is a bigger picture of my MOC Cap helmet on Cap:
