I STILL STILL STILL think the price increases on this stuff is outrageous.  I have no idea who manages pricing for these things, but they obviously have no idea what they're doing.  I help analyze pricing impact for CPG products and you would NEVER see food products take a 50% increase or more.  Do they honestly think that things like raising Marvel Legends from $10 to $15 won't have a big impact on sales!?  Sure, you'll still get some diehards, but not enough to support a line from what I've seen.  They'd be far better off raising the price something lower like 5-10% each year or growing by a buck with ever other wave.  Gradual pricing is expected, but these massive jumps in price just make you instantly feel like you're getting screwed. 

Maybe.  You just can't call any of these games this year - just last week the Rams got their first win by beating the Redskins.

Its been an odd year for that.  Still can't get over the Browns destroying the Giants on Monday night.  Dallas is doubly in trouble since Felix Jones is out - Barber is good, but youc an't just run him all day long.

I found the Ares wave at our local WM yesterday (aside from Kang), so they are getting out there more now it appears.  At our store, they were just on one of the wire rack things towards the end of the aisle (right next to the endcaps).  I picked up Vision (missed the earlier one), Human Torch "Nova" variant (only "flamed on" Torch I have is the movie one), and the Scarlet Spidey (because, well, its a Spider-Man).  They were $10.44 each, which was nice after the $14.99 sting at Target lately.  Not too bad of figures overall, although I haven't had a chance to open them yet.

Any interest in trading or selling your extra BAF parts?  The only figure I want from this wave is Ares.   

Just starting Book 5 after a loooong hiatus.

Pretty convenient that code expires just as lots of new stuff shows up. However, disc10 works, knocking off 10%. Not sure when that expires. It worked for me just now, picking up Ahsoka and Cody.

Not sure what stuff you're referring to.  They had Legacy Wave 3, latest line of legends, and the W2 Clone Wars figs when I placed my order. 

Not necessarily a "movie", but it looks like the Avengers are getting their animated due with a new series, launching in 2011 (in time for the movie bonanza).  Hopefully it will be good.  I caught an episode or two of the 90s series on Toon Disney the last couple weeks, yikes that was bad.  Anyways, looking at the press release (and art), it looks like it will feature Cap, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Ant Man, and the Wasp.  It looks like Marvel is finally stepping up the animation game with new Wolverine/X-Men and Iron Man cartoons on the way in 2009, and now Avengers in 2011.  Plus the really great Spectacular Spider-Man toon airing now, which I really enjoy.  Anyways, I'm sure these are all aimed at the kiddos, but I enjoy a good superhero cartoon now and again .

I think its funny how all these new incarnations of the Avengers still have Captain America in them, but they killed him off in the comics over a year ago.   

Does anyone read Chinese?  Still waiting to see the size.  Definitely looks cool though...

Thanks to the Jaybird for keeping an eye out on a minty Neyo Clone and the swap for a TFU Evo pack last night!
