Very cool stuff Bob! I enjoyed both of those. Looks like you got all sorted out with Mandeoid, eh? ![:)](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/smiley.gif) ... On another note, why are Magneto and Storm so hard to find in the Jubilee series? They were short packed in the TRU wave and most TRU's only got 1-2 shipments. Hasbro really screwed us with that wave.

They always were. They were the only two Legends figures (out of all of them...and I mean ALL of them) that I never saw in person at retail. It didn't help that the Jubilee wave was exclusive to TRU and it seemed every store got one shipment and that was all she wrote.

I had never even seen the wave around here (Granted there were a few yrs in there I never went near the toy aisle) Really did stiff us on that wave. I'd love to see a re-release, as a "second" X-Men wave this year, but I'm sure a LOT of people who paid above fair on the secondary market would be PISSED (ex: those who paid for the SDCC Dormammu, only to have him as a BAF this yr)

Got a couple more going up tonight. The other two will be done tomorrow. Since I'm moving, got quite a dent to put in these before I don't have time to do them for a bit.

Going to meet Stan Lee next Sat. for a 2nd time. Going to have him sign my UK Avengers 5-Pack, I wasn't planning on going to his event but hearing he is about to be done doing conventions I just can't pass it up. I regret passing on meeting Roddy Pipper when he was only a few steps away from me.

I guess it's technically Marvel,
But I found a 4(?) inch Miracle Man statue at my local comic shop for $5. TinyPic is having issues on my end so I can't upload a pic.
But If anyone knows anything about this figure, I would love more info on it. So far I'm able to figure out that it was either a 2 pack with Spawn or it was a single release with an incredibly awesome base for him to stand on.
Also scored an Austin Powers figure dressed in the duds he wore at the beginning of the first movie for $4.

Thanks fellas. I wasn't aware that it was short packed. That's a shame; I'm actually enticed to get the whole series. Its a solid set. But, the paint apps on Storm were hit or miss. I'd hate to spend $225 on a set and get a wakey Storm.

That Jubiliee wave was one of the really big issues that helped sour my feelings for the line at the time. After having waited for Toybiz to make her, i thought she would be a shoe in for inclusion in 06-07. I figured Hasbro would ear mark her for a release somewhat out of the gate, as demand was there at the time. Of course this never came to pass for several more years, when solicitations for this wave were shown, i got nervous because she got the BAF treatment. But then, i foolishly, thought 'Hey its a whole series exclusive to TRU.....not just one figure. Surely they will have enough for everyone.' And they did...of Stryfe. Anyway, case packouts and less than stellar distribution of what little did seem to hit, did most of us in. As i rebuild my ML collection, this sore spot gets more sore. It occasionally makes me just want to spend the money to fill the holes in my MU colection and call it a day there.....lol.....but I'm not that smart.

I didnt understand why Hasbro had to release Jubilee as a BAF figure when she is more popular than some of the characters you had to buy to build her like Stryfe and Cyclops in a costume with no visor. Not only that, I never saw Magneto from that series in any TRU.

Not only that, I never saw Magneto from that series in any TRU. I saw Magneto once, never again. And never laid eyes on that Storm. The Stryfe was a good figure IMO ,and I'm glad he made it to the 6" line. That Cyclops, although accurate at that time, was a waste. I actually did like the Wolvie and should have picked it up. No ones fault but mine there,as i had plenty of chances. But, in my view, you're 100% correct that Jubiliee should have been a regular release figure. Although she'd probably have still been short packed as hell and still be commanding the huge aftermarket price. A lot of times, with the A list and even B list characters, i feel we'll eventually get another shot at them down the line. With her ,however, i have feeling its not gonna happen. But if it were to happen, i wouldn't mind seeing her get the strike team outfit as a consolation prize for the lack of ability to get the classic figure.

I got Jubilee loose online for like $60 and glad I did. Didn't have any interest in Cyclops, Storm, or Wolverine. Even Magneto I was iffy on (got him relatively recently, does he sell for that much?). So I was happy to have Stryfe and Jubilee and be done.
Puck is another case that I ended up just ordering a case from the biggest and baddest and was glad I did. That wave didn't even hit retail, so Emma especially was a nightmare to get ahold of.

Seeing Storm for over $300 USD on Amazon tells me I have well and truly missed the boat... ![:(](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/sad.gif) She's not much better loose for us here. I mean, she may pop up for about $65 loose on her own (without Jubilee piece) but it's rare.

Storm isn't that rare guys, I've seen people sell her for $40-55 on Facebook. I'm telling you guys get a Facebook and join some collecting groups, people sell figures there for good deals.

'HULK...SMASH!'' ![:)](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/smiley.gif) Nice. I'm waiting to pick up the Ultron/Hulk/Vision 3 pack to get mine. Different head, mainly. I think this is in pretty good scale with the other ML/MS.

Ultron and Vision aren't bad either. Putting Ultron to use for Silvermane mostly, myself. Perfect body for the head that comes with Speedster.

Nice one. ![:)](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/smiley.gif) Do you reckon the Vision that is in the Hulkbuster BAF set is better, regardless of colour? I think he's basically the same as Hulkbuster Vision. I only want him to put his cape to use on Taskmaster with the hooded head.
