"Exclusive", "Variant" and "Chase" Figures SUCK.

jjreason · Post by **jjreason** » Tue Apr 26, 2005 12:16 am

Fuck I hate the runaround you get trying to collect toys. What's the big fucking idea here, folks, to fuck over Canadians or poor people? The whole thing is more insulting that tiered Health Care coverage in my opinion - I'm a fucking 2nd class citizen because I don't have a God Damned Target store within driving distance.

And fucking "Chase" figures? Fuck that. I shop for toys as much as ANYONE. I'm literally out all the time. You think I can find everything I want? No - I do okay mind you - but the simple fact that these fucking things exist, when married to the fact that IDIOTS will pay triple fucking price for this ridiculous shit on ebay leads every retarded Tom, Dick and Fuckface working at WalMart for $6/hr to horde anything and everything they can find to flip for a $5 profit. Want a Red Skull? Go to ebay, because it's NEVER going to hit the shelves. You find one on the shelf, you're luckier than fuck. Period.

Fuck I hate this hobby. I can't wait for the day that they stop making Star Wars figures so I can call it quits. The money I'm wasting is just absurd, I "really love" less than 10% of the toys I buy.

And yes, I know I'm fucked. Thanks a lot for that helpful thought, fucker. If I'd known it was going to get this bad, I would have never fucking bothered.

i know what you mean... the only time i see new transformers alternators is when i have no money. yesterday... target had swindle (i'd seen him before, but guess what? had no money!) and they had RAVAGE!!!! damn it!!! since distribution sucks so bad to NC apparently, i won't see them again for like, a month. and by that time, i'll be hearing about all the dudes in cali that are getting the next line after the one i'm just on the cusp of getting. i'll be searching for grimlock, and they'll be like "oh, i got prowl today... saw a bunch on the shelves" and i'll be like, "hey, i finally got ravage..." and sound like a little puss.

whatever.

i know this reply wasn't exactly on topic, but i don't care. it's my site!

Which one kidhuman find? Clear like Optimus Prime windshield, solid like me Grimlock, or phasing, sort of like Gears windshield when he dirty?

Phasing one

Why can't they just make a visible one with invisible clothes?

I didn't know there were three different Invisible Women until after I found the phasing one. It's the only one I've ever seen, so I was lucky to snag it. Then of course, I had to pick up the other three so I could have the FF standing on my shelf.

By the way, the Movie IW makes the ML version look like a fugly fat ass.

Yep, that boxed set is neat-o, except for Sue who looks like a cross-eyed Vanna White - and when I say Vanna, I mean the granny-Vanna of the new millenium, not the boner inducing Vanna of the late 80s and early 90s.

Sue Storm couldn't deserve a true Marvel Legends figure more, she's the only woman in the Marvel Universe that I'm aware of that has lost a child. Give her the fucking figure already, ToyBiz.

Now, for my new frustration. How 'bout Hasbro offering up a bunch of Cylon looking Clonetroopers as exclusives? $15 a pop for regular figures sucks, and the ones available at Target (soon) and online at SWshop.com look almost the same to me. Too bad for me, I actually want them and am going to fork out the money to get them. I might as well jump in the shower and taser my own nutsack.

Those exclusive clones, covert ops look like shiot. Fuck Hasbro and their money making schemes. It aint working on me.

Not only do those look like shit, but fuck them and fuck their "Lava Reflection" bullshit. No one wants these turds except completionists, which is why they can charge $15.

The variant thing is getting out of control. Now they are making Variants as completely different characters.

Destroyer instead of IM THorbuster

Genis-Vel instead of his deceased daddy.

Arachne instead of Jessica Drew.

I could live without a phasing Vision or melting GhostRider.

But dammit, I want different characters. : (

Thankfully Hasbro doesn't have plans to do variants. i think they would rather stick with their "repaint and rerelease" strategy.
