ROADTRIP! I bet this is some scumbag who sells at frank n sons or whatever its become.

This presupposes a single Target got 15 Fireflies to sell at all (and one staff person got them). I'm sticking to my thesis that this person was one of those who ran a bot to buy a ton overnight online.

I agree 100%. Preorders should: A. GUARANTEE receiving said product. B. Be filled in the order they are received. Beating a dead horse here I know...

ACK! You are right! Somehow I got articulation in my head and a tangential line of thinking ensued. I apologize.

That said your comparison asks one to compare the arguably weaker figures in GJC to two of the strongest figures in Marvel Legends and Black Series. If we are to compare "greatness to greatness" let's use Beskar Mando vs Cobra Trooper and Nebula vs Baroness. As much as I LOVE those Mando and Nebs figures CT and Baroness edge them out. Others may feel differently.

We are indeed way early in the GJC line to begin claiming it's the greatest line going. However, all signs point to,"yes" in my opinion.

One thing is for certain...we certainly have a large number of fantastic figures coming out of the Hasbro camp that the game "Which one is the greatest" struggles to find a clear winner. That's a great problem for us to have. For all things 2020 totally fucked up Hasbro figures were not one of those things.

For me I don’t think the drop down hip adds much. In fact, after my FF lost his leg in a horrific accident, I think the joint really serves as a weak point that is prone to breakage if the hip is tight.

That is deliciously devious.

Maybe it has something to do with location? I don't know.
