Cool Lists. Back Adam made the list, pretty cool.
You keep mentioning Hasbro's poor distribution, and I gotta call bullshit. Almost my entire collection has been bought from retail including many so-called "hard to find" figures like Archangel, long haired Winter Soldier, Bullseye, Vision, Carnage, and Wave 11. The only figure I want, but haven't found is Warpath. I wonder how much of this is actually poor distribution, and how much is just collector hyperbole.

I don't mean to start a ruccuss, but I know managers at my local stores and I know what comes in and when, I pass my stores almost everyday and I could easily become a scalper.
Archangel wave never made it here in any form, nor did Vision wave, nor did the first wave of Star Wars Clone Wars wave 1 2010 nor did many waves I can list. In fact the Iron Man Hulkbuster wave just arrived the week before christmas. You might live in a location that gets better distrobution, I am not sure, but I can tell you in no uncertain terms that complaints are not Hyperbole in the slightest. In fact I will point out I was able to get every MU figure I wanted at retail until this year where I had to turn to the internet. As bad as it was previously, it got a lot worse from Vision wave on up. In other words, you are lucky, good for you, but don't crap on the rest of us that ain't. |

The final ten of the year are here, Let the gripes begin LOL. Some notes, I noticed a couple of broken links on the wallpaper pages (when you click on the pic for the wallpapers) I think I have fixed them now, but if there is one you are wanting for a wall paper and cannot download let me know (either through this site via pm or in this thread) and I will fix it as soon as possible, but I don't think there are any more broken links. Also I want to thank everyone for the kind words, the bloggers for promoting this event, the websites who have put a bit of mention about it, and everyone who has taken the time to read my ramblings. This year I got started very late and had to cram what amounts to one months worth of work (pictures, write-ups ect) into a week, while snow days made that easier, it is still good to know people appreciate all of this, it is a tremendious amount of work that I enjoy and often learn new things from. Hey no matter how long you have used it, you can never stop improving with photoshop. But still it is great to know so much enjoyment that people get from this project. Thank you and enjoy. |

Still it sounds like a local problem instead of a Hasbro thing. |

Hey, Zed! I always love your reviews!
Just a note on the BA Baracas figure: Slight Spoiler: BA is an Airborne Ranger, so he WASN'T afraid of flying. That is, not until he flew with Murdock for the first time. It's explained very well in the movie.

Still I know plenty from outside this state that have the same problems. You don;t have to believe it, but just cause you don't have the problem doesn't make it false that eveyone else does. |

I find it hilarious that people are argueing a fact that Hasbro themselves have acknowledged in various interviews and Q&A's as well.

That list was really fun! Except you complain about Hasbro pumping out so many SE's, but then you put on your list so many Iron Mans. LOL.
