In the meantime, a humble plea.<br />In the next extension, might you consider one of the greatest super-villians ever - The Fury - in all its cybiotic purple glory?<br />I was so disappointed with the Captain Britain sculpt as the poor chap looks incredibly weedy when compared to the likes of Gladiator, Hawkeye, Yellowjacket, and my favourite sculpt so far, Taskmaster - who look genuinely superheroic. A Fury figurine would take some of the pain away. And a resculpt would be epic. Any chance?

And I'd never question anyone's passion for anything. (the 100 boxes I have in storage will attest to that).<br />I was being more clinical in my thinking as to where the colection is going. To my way of thinking, and with 180 figures accounted for, it's unlikely that many new collectors will come on board and go the distance. So we end up with a static buying base. A few people have already stated that they will be more selective in the futute which fragments that base a little bringing EM less revenue. Add in the cost of actual production, going up in the current climate, and we end up with margins getting less. Now the price could rise, but that may put more people off buying............<br />That is my opinion of how I see all partworks eventually going.<br />I'll be very happy to be proved wrong though. And remind me when it comes around and I'll gladly stick my hand up and admit to the world, well this blog, that I was completely and utterly wrong!<br /><br />Now onto my other thoughts about the sudden explosion in different comic sets. Disney have already said that they will honour existing licence holders which is a good thing for us. I just got to thinking that if the license is close to ending the new sets will have to run until their natural end, thus prolonging the license! Does that make sense? in my head it does. LOL. Of course, that would benefit us all, except for our pockets.<br /><br />BarnabasBarnabashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10577333390380349555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8475118225184706855.post-28465678463261021812011-04-01T12:32:50.136+01:002011-04-01T12:32:50.136+01:00Number One question: is there going to be any anno...Number One question: is there going to be any announcement about a further extension in the near future?Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08802582369684451770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8475118225184706855.post-37169918192934809112011-04-01T12:17:25.365+01:002011-04-01T12:17:25.365+01:00Arnie Schawrzenhauegeshlozzer and Stan Lee are wor...Arnie Schawrzenhauegeshlozzer and Stan Lee are working on a tv show called the "Governator"...weirdly it is NOT an Aprils foolMiguel Angel Jiminezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09529369797240926503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8475118225184706855.post-16056400152522384292011-04-01T11:45:19.457+01:002011-04-01T11:45:19.457+01:00Warriors Three, Richard???

I must say I'm surprised by your fatalist approach, how you seem willing to accept that the collection may end soon. I'm surprised because, like you said, this collection is a marvel. It shines like a beacon, with its mission to explore as many MU areas as possible, and to cover as many Marvel characters as possible. It is awesome, so why would I not be passionate about its continuation and possible expansions with subsets. I wish Marvel chess sets every success, but personally all I want is to see another 300 characters in the main CMFC. I know I'm not the only one with a list of 150 characters that I'm ready to buy. I've analysed the lists of all bloggers and forum members, and I have identified at least 200 characters that recur across all lists.<br />No need to be critical. Let passionate collectors express their passion. And may you be happy with just 140 figurines if that's all you want. Many of us want twice as many.

(Someone bought me a plastic Marvel chess set years ago but I found it a bit off-putting to play.) Kind of disappointed that the figures are twice the size of CMFC figures, as I wanted to mix the collections. I already have a Giant-Man from an Avengers set that I converted into a statue standing in my Assemblers line-up, as well as a classic Iron Man from another collection whose name I forget. (I'm still thinking of getting a Quinjet from the Superhero Squad - just don't tell Ted.)<br /><br />Any reason why it's being trialed in France?

The Marvel one is not a sure bet yet for us UK types- it's being trialled in France first (why I dunno)-but I expect it will come over here before too long. It's going to be a part-work just like the figurines and will probably be £7.99 a copy, as that's how much the DC one will be-which we are getting over here.<br />I don't know if they're going to do a complete set at a time before going onto another (eg. Spidey first, then X-men etc) or mix 'em up. If they do the latter you could be drawing the mere sheckles that this present government will call a 'pension' before you can play one game with your chosen pieces (little bit of politics...).<br /><br />Hope that helps,<br />BDBobDiamondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12435598236752372256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8475118225184706855.post-65882414447058596172011-03-31T17:04:30.574+01:002011-03-31T17:04:30.574+01:00We're cool, Adam.
