Re: New Secret Base Man, if they did something like Popy-style Marvel heroes, I think I may explode. Particularly if Iron Man is involved.
Re: New Secret Base I can agree with that but change Ironman to Uncanny X Force wolverine or any version of Havok.
Re: New Secret Base It's probably going to be some crazy pink screen on a black tshirt declaring "marvelxhardcore" or something. Or a pair of ugly all over print shoes no one would be caught dead wearing.... Or a shitty new era style hat. Spider-Brain? Not likely.
Re: New Secret Base by the looks of the picture it actually seems to be a 1/1 skull, probably red, as andy has already mentioned. and im sure a shirt/hat/both to accompany it
Re: New Secret Base Probably a 1/1 with marvel paint. Something like venom eyes and will cost $200 because of the Bieber hat. I will still buy it of course. Also someone in Japan take pictures of the Moonlight BBB chase, is it just blood or a different colored bag?
Re: New Secret Base Actually the boogieman is not new, has been released some time back. But good to see sb doing the international sales for cure.
Re: New Secret Base I am not so sure whether I like what they are doing with items formerly marked as sold out reappearing, reissues of toys (e.g. first Rebel Inks) and now separate releases for oversea buyers. I know people are complaining all the time but being on the hunt for a certain toy for years and then finally scoring it (aftermarket) is a big part of this hobby (at least to me) - but will I ever pay more than retail for a toy if there is a chance there will be a rerelease from the original maker next week? Not that I don't like getting my toys for retail but they sure do hurt the hunting part of this hobby.
Re: New Secret Base I for one, hate "the hunt". But reissuing toys seems weird. Just offer more at the initial run. However if reissuing them discourages flippers and the idiots who overpay the flippers for the newest releases then I say release the toy two, three different times.
Re: New Secret Base Good point, maybe you are right and rereleases could drive away flippers permanently?!
Re: New Secret Base I mean the blue skullhevi was being flipped for 4x the price ON THE DAY IT WAS RELEASED. That shit is a fucking joke. I'd love to see that color get released again suddenly so the jackasses who paid that much for them can feel extra stupid, and the people flipping them won't make as much a profit as they do with shit like that.
Re: New Secret Base You're not going to stop the flippers with reissues. I mean look at vinyl records. Brand New re-released Your favorite Weapon, and the first pressing still goes for six hundred on ebay. As long as collectors want to collect everything, there will always be flippers, unless there is no way to tell between the two versions, haha
Re: New Secret Base Hey, if they pull the vinyl at the same time and print indentical headers that's all they need to do. I'm not talking reissue it years later. Stop giving the flippers the opportunity to make money and they'll move to something else. Case in point, old school transformers. Used to be to get a G1 Optimus prime would cost you between 300$ and $800 depending on condition. But since 2000 prime has been reissued at least 10 times, and while a boxed, pristine, original still fetches a pretty penny you can get nearly identical reissue for $100 if not less. Everyone who wants a prime can have one and flippers can suck it.
Re: New Secret Base Tom, Mr. Pike here makes a wonderful point though, No matter what, everyone who drop $300 on the secondary market for a 45 dollar figure will always feel it in the back of their head and in general they deserve that feeling for feeding into it.
Re: New Secret Base The feeding into it is the issue that I have the biggest problem with. I don't have a blue skullhevi, and despite the fact that I would very much like to have one if someone offered me one for the low low price of $400 I'd tell them politely where they could shove it. (Hint it's a place that doesn't get much sun). I'm happy to wait until one shows up at a reasonable price. I have one of the new skullhevis, but I got it for retail from a friend because of positive interactions and fostering good relationships within this community for the past 6+ years. What these needy people who pay the flippers whatever they ask for the newest thing need to realize is this- you're never going to be complete, there will always be sometjing out of your reach. But if you can show just a little patience and control you'll be able to get stuff without paying an arm and a leg for it, PLUS you won't be generating an environment where unscrupulous people can profit flipping toys.
Re: New Secret Base Gettin' kinda intense in here! If anyone is interested in the Gold Lame SkullBxBxB, it's up now at Shocker World Wide. http://bit.ly/1apRdPR
