You are aware that this armor:
is considered the "Golden Avenger" armor in the majority of Iron Man circles right?

Re: 'BACK IN BLACK' Spider-Man Comiquette up NOW.
When I said Golden Avenger, I was speaking of this:https://ironmanflicks.blogspot.com/2008/11/iron-man-classic-golden-avenger-suit.html
If I'm not mistaken, it is how the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe referred to it, as well as the Weapons Locker. However, even the pictures of the armor you showed looks more sleek to me than the new one, because the new one looks like it has all of these things like the shoulder parts. There are just too many crevices in the new armor. Even though the armor you pictured is thick and bulky, it still has smooth joints which makes it look much sleeker. Here is another reference. https://www.geocities.com/captainparagon/dcironman.html

Re: 'BACK IN BLACK' Spider-Man Comiquette up NOW.
Here we go again...
Give up the comics for a while, seriously. Flipping collectibles isn't even close to scamming a charity and you should be banned for constantly saying such ridiculous sh-t.

Jesus, quit ^^^^^ing about flipping/flippers and stick with collecting low end action figures. If you don't even like the statues, then why all the crying?

I don't like injustice or taking advantage of others when it comes to superhero collectibles. A flippers is a philistine.

I canceled mine because SS announced the Disney licence. Needed to trim the order list a bit. I'm still keeping Iron Spidey, though.

Re: 'BACK IN BLACK' Spider-Man Comiquette up NOW.
So do you think that everyone who wants one should get one for retail?
You're a democrat, aren't you?

Re: 'BACK IN BLACK' Spider-Man Comiquette up NOW.
Yes, I think everyone who wants one should be able to get one for retail. No, I'm not a Democrat. I'm a progressive. I'm an idealist. Democrats aren't that different than Republicans. I'm registered with the Green Party, actually.

Guess what...everyone wants food, but not everyone gets it. Why don't you start your superhero crusade there instead of insignificant collectibles?

Re: 'BACK IN BLACK' Spider-Man Comiquette up NOW.
So they shouldn't even be limited?
That's just retarded. They're limited edition collectibles and the minute that everyone gets one for retail, the industry will go down the crapper. Look at what happened with sports cards in the 90s. Flood the market and it will inevitably tank.
BTW, I love flippers simply because they force people like you pay more than retail.

Re: 'BACK IN BLACK' Spider-Man Comiquette up NOW.
Actually its a misnomer and its not referred that why in the Official Universe. That particular armor has had many incarnations from the Model III, Mark I called the Post-Proto/Pre-Classic Armor which appeared in Tales of Suspense # 55 in July 1964 all the way to the Model VIII, Mark II which carried through the famous "Demon in a Bottle" range in November 1979 and is called the Neoclassic Armor. If you are referring to the standard issue Silver Age classic armor that is usually depicted even in the Classic Iron Man Comiquette it is simply referred to as the "Flexi-Armor" or Classic Red and Gold Armor, Model V, Mark I because this is the famous one that he kept in the briefcase that was adjustable like fabric which is depicted in Iron Man Volume 1 #82. It could slip on and off like Spider-Man's costume for example but through nanotechnology would harden and change chemical makeup when all applied to fight.
The Model I, Mark II/III/IV is the strict Golden Armor and called "The Golden Avenger" simply because its the most notable place he wore it for three issues because in Tales of Suspense the change was made promptly. But I get what you are saying.

I wonder if all the idealists have such strong feelings about their super hero collectibles.

Re: 'BACK IN BLACK' Spider-Man Comiquette up NOW.
Why should they be limited? Are you saying that people would not be willing to spend $500 on a statue if wasn't going to appreciate in value? Sounds like your opinion is people really wouldn't want the statue for what it is, just to keep. Honestly, I never was into Sports cards, because compared to superheroes, baseball, basketball and football are hopelessly BORING. Yawn, yawn. SUCH a yawnfest. Anyway, I would conclude that what happened is that people bought sports cards because they thought they would be valuable, and when people found out that they COULDN'T make a profit off them, the market collapsed. The whole demand was based upon speculation to begin with. I remember people getting all exited about Sports cards and comics being great investments that would appreciate in value(since the old and rare ones did) and then, when none of the new plentiful cards and comics appreciated, people stopped buying. I say if something isn't something you can justify spending a certain amount of money on if it is abundantly available, then it really isn't something you want in the first place. When people buy a limited thing because it's limited, they don't buy because they want IT, they buy because it represents something, and that something is exclusivity. People want exclusivity because they want to feel more special about themselves, as if somehow owning a THING is going to make you feel better about yourself, or make you more important. Guess what? It doesn't. The illusion may last for a while, but eventually the excitement wears off, and then a new thing must be bought, as if somehow THIS new thing will be the one that does it for you. Guess what? It won't. It won't because it can't. At the end of the day, all that matters is whether the amount of money you paid for that thing can be justified relative to everything else you could buy in your life, to improve the quality of your life. Collectibles are really nice to have, but they aren't as important as some people preen them up to be. Material objects are incapable, inherently incapable of truly making people feel better about themselves.
If you buy a collectible only because it's limited, you are buying it based upon an inherently flawed premise.
I bought my Rogue EX because it was worth the $180 to have something like that and keep it in my home, to be able to look at for the rest of my life. If it drops to $100 in value, I don't care because I like it and I am keeping it because I like it for what is.

Re: 'BACK IN BLACK' Spider-Man Comiquette up NOW.
Actually a little know bit of history, Herbert Hoover's original campaign slogan was:
a chicken in every pot, a car in every garage and a limited collectible for every shelf.
Unfortunately due to a printing error the slogan was cropped to simply a chicken and a car. If only the printer hadnt screwed up

Re: 'BACK IN BLACK' Spider-Man Comiquette up NOW.
They should be limited ENOUGH to maintain their retail value for 5-10 years or so. After that, I expect them to start to increase. If they increase 25% in a year or so, that isn't so bad. Somewhere between the retail price and I think 15% increase in value over 2 years is I think the limited number to shoot for.

Re: 'BACK IN BLACK' Spider-Man Comiquette up NOW.
Eh. I buy what I like. I don't care the price on it or the price it'll be in a few years, if I like it I like it. If I decide I don't like it and can make a profit by getting rid of it great. If not oh well, the reality is the money is just going to fund something else anyway. Bought the IM Red/Gold Comiquette for $750...if its worth only $100 in two years I don't care because I'll probably never sell it.
