That waitlist is no joke. Completely gave up on getting Deadpool and then I get an email last week saying my order was accepted and was being shipped that day. Had him on my shelf like two days later.

Yep, second hand prices are getting crazy for ole Bats and the figure has been well praised,and a lot of people dont care for the design of the new suits moving forward.

What do those figures usually run and once sold out what do the resale usually go for?
davidwhangchoi

Metal Build Gundams if they get hot, for example go for:
Seven Sword at launch retailed for $135 @ hlj
now goes for: $700+ on ebay
their shittiest color was on sale on amazon for 180 for a long time and finally went out of print: now it's getting close to 270-300. They're similar to hot toys in terms of availability. (the hot one sell out within hours)
if you can get your hands on the latest Metal Build, F91, coming out in March, try doing a google search and see if any retailers still have him for pre-order,
i can almost guarantee he will go up minimal 100 bucks day one (it's most likely going OOP @ launch minus scalpers) and will double by the end of the year.
Macross comes in two flavors:
Bandai Dx Chogokin:
are about 130-180 retail and usually get to 250-350 within 3-6 months. the problem is getting hands on one is nearly impossible... pre-orders literally last 10 secs during pre-order windows.
Arcadia (formally Yamato):
are easier to pre-order than Bandai Chogokin bc they're more expensive 200-350 and print more so usually avail at launch even if you didn't pre-order. they don't go up in price until they go OOP... but once they do, they skyrocket to 400-700.
take a look at ebay listings for an example: (don't buy them at these scapler prices)
Macross Yamato/Arcadia
best bet is to try your luck during pre-orders for Macross Bandai Chogokin and hope you can get in that 10 second window.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
I have them both. They're great, especially War Machine. (the Target-exclusive Civil War one, not the Hulkbuster wave one)

Thanks for the breakdown,searched around a little bit there are some really neat designs on some of those figures. As a total noob to all of this Im assuming there is a show/cartoon these are based from??

sure! here you go =)
Gundam:
good timing! Gundam.info just allowed US viewers to legally stream Gundam Thunderbolt w/ english subs for free for a limited time:
Episode 1
Macross: (there's so many series so i'll only pick a few scenes)
HD quality dogfights/scenes from various Macross series:
Macross Zero opening dogfight (just till 6:20, taken from a full episode w/ no subs)
Macross Zero VF-0S transformation
Macross Plus dogfight
the original: "Macross: Do You Remember Love" movie(my favorite) from 1984
opening
dogfight
Macross anime, toys or any merchandise are not legally allowed in the US due to major legal battle that will never end anytime soon. (you'll be able to find english fansubs)
the original series was broadcasted in the U.S. as
Robotech: the Macross Saga
Cool. I ordered War Machine. I was hesitant at first because he comes packed with this shitty other "Disco" orange/blue Iron Man thing that I totally don't want, but this 2-pack was only slightly more expensive than the cost of a new single Marvel Legends figure so I thought why not.
Also got ML Black Panther. My Avengers line up is expanding fast, but I haven't actually had any time to open any of them yet. XD
I dunno the new Justice League batsuit looks okay to me. I wouldn't mind a figure of that.
It's finally happening

- Laughing Face, Smiling Face, Puffing Face
- Pulse Pistols
- Open Hands
- Pulse Bomb
- Blink Effect
- Interchangeable bent legs
- Movable hair piece
Really didn't thought that there would be coming any meaningful Overwatch merchandise, especially figures. I was so eager to get my hands on a figure as they put up those gigantic action figures in Paris and two other cities but nothing happened, apart form FunkoPOPs. Didn't thought that they would start with Nendoroids but it's a great choice and I hope the series will feature lots (if not all) of the characters and that GSC will also release Overwatch Figmas.

^ I am not much into Nendoroid but pre-ordered anyways, biggest news is GSC got Overwatch rights and this could mean Overwatch Figmas are now a very possible reality.

Nederoid Tracer is cute, but I'm really hoping for figmas. Or any proper Overwatch action figures.
Looking forward to see how Hot Toys Belle turns out.
and this line is coming

I always ignored Figuarts since I was already buying figma but they've been releasing all kinds of star wars figures that I finally broke down and preordered AOTC Anakin and Padme.

I cracked open my first Figuarts figure that uses Tamashii's "face printing" technique -- Black Widow. In hand or in person it looks great, but get up close to it and you see all the little dots and make up the face "paint".
I've never seen something like this before so I was just befuddled for a few moments. BW looks great though, I think it is a good resemblance to Scarlet Johannson, though a bit more idealized or younger than how she actually looks onscreen in AoU.

Going with Ruthless Agressive Kane is an odd choice. I think his Attitude era look is the more iconic one.

Fuck I want that figure so bad. So expensive though.
Had to haggle on eBay. Still expensive but worth it. I love Neon Genesis.

Hi guys!
Just ordered from Mandarake, and it is listed as a "spot item" from it's "Shara" warehouse. It's been a few days since I placed the order, and I haven't received a payment link yet. Anyone have experience with "spot item" purchases from Mandarake?

yeah, i think LiK's spare Hot Toy's are getting me to look into them, definitely hard to keep up with the many iron man armor releases. i don't know how you guys control yourselves =)
The Sideshow Exclusive variant for this Sixth Scale Figure includes a cane (used by Matt Murdock as part of his lawyer persona) that can be modified to become part of his arsenal of combative tools.
