I agree. I think we have a situation brewing where the Watchmen set will end up being worth more than retail on the secondary/eBay market. I'm buying one.

Not really:

Unless you split up your family and sleep and eat separately, it is still one household who happens to own two houses.

I would not be surprised.

You left out Bubastis!

I'm confused by NECA's logic on this set, There are only so many heroes in the Watchmen series, so what are the other fill in's? Wasn't it like 75 figs in the collectors case????? They should have stuck with the core figs and came in at a more reasonable price.

25 figures, not 75.

You know what 25 unique sculpts (assuming they're all figs) means? It means 25 less characters that I need to mod.
Talia on the other hand? Just make 1 dial. Then if I'd desired both a pink & a black suited one? I'd simply pull out a bottle of paint.

So $4 per fig here is a good exchange.

Here's hoping the sculpts/paint jobs are of good quality.

Not everybody mods figures. In fact I'd say "modders" are in the vast minority of clix players. We don't have a single person in our really rich gaming area that mods heroclix figures. I think I have seen 1 Skrull Ms Marvel painted with "flesh color" paint. And he just did it because.

And I don't care about the set unless the figures are playable. Never saw the movie or read the comics, have no clue who any of them are. But I'll buy the playable ones secondary.

1) You've not told us an important detail here;
How fast do you generate that $30? Weekly? Every other week? Monthly? What?

2) But if you can generate this disposable $30 "fairly easily" what's stopping you from just doing it more often?

3) Stop crying about it & get planning.
