There we go, very nice. That base is huge! A head sculpt pic would be nice too.
As you wish, my friend....
It may be very unpopular to say this but I prefer the clean Mk VII to the new BD. Nothing wrong with it as a variation but just like the original better. Still not going to sell it, though!
i dont want to start an argument here but they sort of look the same.
No argument there, they are the same figure. One just has a little more battle damage, a sick base and a kickass head sculpt. But everyone who order it knew that already. The protos paint was a little better but other than that I'm completely satisfied with it.
I got into this Hobby back in June of this year. A friend at my office had some figures shipped there and I was interested. I bought a Mark V which was the easiest figure to obtain for a good entry price. I received it and was pretty happy with the detail. I thought to myself hmm, this is a pretty light toys, but looks very detailed. I then bought an Mark II unleashed. I was like ok comes with a lot of accessories, looks nice. So I then bought War machine. I was like now this is what we are talking about very detailed and felt hefty, even for a plastic figure. I keep paying after market prices just to catch up. Most of the figures I have paid almost double the original 189.00 price.
You ask how does this relate to this discussion. Well Yesterday I saw a fellow member post a Mark VII Battle damage for 510.00 shipped. I instantly PM'd him and offered 520.00 shipped with paypal fees. He sent me an invoice and I paid for it. He is getting it on Thursday and will ship out to me the next day.
Now because I'm a new collector that wants a Mark VII for my HOA display and a BD mark VII for my Avengers display. This is the only way for me to get him is to pay the aftermarket. I was way too late to get into the hobby and now I have to pay extra to join you guys... Thats the name of the game. I wish these figures cost way less than they do, but they will only keep costing us more because we pre order at full retail every time. We have NO choice if we want to buy one for our collection. The only other choice is to Stop......The minute we stop and decide to come back months later we are screwed because of the after market. So you either move forward and keep collecting and pay the retail PO pricing, or walk away which is super hard to do. The darn House party protocol is gonna cost me, but you know like many of us will end up getting every single one of those armors because they will all have unique qualities.
So I'm almost done getting all the Mark Armors. I only need a Mark VI now and then I'm caught up. The good thing is now I can Pre order all the Armors like you guys for retail and most likely will buy 2 of each so I can have one to trade down the line. I'm wit you guys and enjoy this expensive fun hobby. So Hot Toys bring it on with 40 more armors.
PS if someone has a decently priced Mark VI they want to sell let me know. Don't care about special movie version. I actually think the regular version looks better since you get the BD base....
I think this thread needs some pics so here's my pic......Cant wait for BD Mark VII.....

Sorry if this is not the place to post this, but can someone help me with posting in the for sale / for trade section?
I want to put my BD Mark VII up for trade or sale and wasn't able to post in there. Is it because I've only been a member for 6 months?
Thanks
