Just thinking, if the Savage Land character mentioned as the next preview is described as devilish and delightful, we are talking about Shanna the She Devil, right?

LAME! WHy does he need to be the BIBTB Figure? Why is it always seem to be a generic? I wish it would be a little more LIMITED, like a Hulk, a Bruce Banner Hulk.

I love how we all used to complain that the brick figure "wasn't generic enough to warrant multiple purchases" and now we complain that its "too generic".

I for one much prefer the "awesome generic" route of recent BiBTB figs, and look forward to the trend continuing.

An uncommon that's an AE to the Brick figure? This is just as bad as having a Super rare AE like the last Green Goblin. The swim ability is neat, but it's overrated. To me, this is setting up to be the worst set since Brave & the Bold.

Gravity feed still looks great, and I want Tiger Shark the most from the set. Past sealeds and gravity feed purchases, I'm going singles on this set.

My God, how many "He went that-a-way" pieces are gonna be in this set?

Geez, can't they think up some original poses? I mean, they halved the set sizes, so it's not like they need to repeat the same figure over and over...

A.I.Marine is the BiBtB fig NOT cool WizKids...
too good of a generic to be so hard to obtain, I mean with his SP you want to run a swarm of them...
SHENANIGANS!!!!

Listen, I think it sucks they made a hard-to-obtain generic too, but I definitely wouldn't go as far as to say this set is THAT bad.

More Soldier goodness.


But the Marine IS 10 points too expensive.

And should have been a common.
( a generic you want multiples of)



The Red Marine seems like a good fig.

Nice Sculpt (for a raging UFC fan)
and good powers to want many of him.




Here's hoping my Venues allow Brick Figs to be used in Sealed.

( luck of the draw - like always )

Troll and Toad had around 20 as of my last post.

I didn't check the Madrox BibtB but I recall his price dropping pretty quickly as well.

I don't anticipate these bad boys being hard to get unless the production run is tiny.

You can get Madrox and Nick Fury for $3.25 shipped, and Superman Robot for $3.50 shipped on eBay right now.

Yes, it requires hitting the secondary market, but I wouldn't call them "hard to obtain."

-J

Secondary market isn't an issue. Paying more than a dollar total for a single generic? That is. So yeah, they are a little hard to obtain when you refuse to get gouged on shipping for these guys.

I clicked the "price" underneath the Superman Robot in the units section and it took me to the TGC Player(i think thats what it is called) site that showed several sites and price ranges. I got free shipping(they tell you which sites are offering free shipping too) and paid around $8 for 4 of those guys. 2 bucks for a BibtB generic Robot Superman that I can add to all the ones I traded for, so I can mod different robo-supes? Yes please.
Most good generics from CUR days are gonna cost you over a dollar or more most of the time anyway.



But I do agree with some of the complaints I have read on this thread:
Making these Marines an uncommon instead of common
Having them relying on the BibtB and dupes from non-common slots for maximum effect is a killjoy in sealed
50 pts is too expensive for them alone, and the AE slots on the BibtB fig don't seem worth alot either.


I wasn't a fan of these BibtB figs when they were first revealed without the dials. Showing the dials has not changed my opinion much at all. I'm glad I opted for buying 2 cases of the GF over pre-ordering any bricks of the regular set. I think I may be able to get the bricks cheaper a month after release, when I'll have more cash anyway.

I second this.

I actually look forward to what they come up with as a generic brick figure each set. I've found it fairly impressive so far.

Me too, except for this one. Not a big deal, I personally, just don't like it. Love the past 3 though!

To be honest I've only recently started really warming up to Red Hulk himself as a character. So I do have some dislike for this brick figure but it's more a dislike of the idea of the character. If that makes any sense. I still give wizkids some credit for coming up with a decent generic for it.

Galactic Guardians should be a fairly easy one for them. Avengers and the next DC sets should make things interesting.
