It's hard to collect specific characters as they're randomly inserted into the boxes and you don't know what you're getting at retail POP, and eBay buying gets expensive.

Peter, I looked over your list and the only dupe I have is a Spider-Man:

Welcome to my addiction... [img]eek.gif[/img]
NES .. yeah just checked the official website and saw that too. I think I am gonna get hooked too. Maybe I won't play but definitely try an dfind as many as possible [img]wink.gif[/img]
I guess you have them all or just about right ?
Actually, I'm only about halfway to 1 full set. I quit buying them retail when my daughter was born last Fall, and have only been getting more through trading since then. They have trading forums on their website, and if you get the lower end LE's off of eBay for cheap there's usually someone who will trade in your favor for them. A lot of the diehard players have been dropping out over things like the poor distribution of Galactus, constant rules changes, and figure retirement, so you can find lots to catch up with for a fraction of what you'd pay to put a collection together buying boxes.
I started collecting these when they first came out, and it got quite expensive. To fill my sets, I used to go on trader forums, and I have a few old friends from there who I have done a lot of trading with. I used to buy a case of 48 booster, equalling almost 200 figures, and still couldn't make a set of 96. 1 case usually yielded about 5-6 uniques, usually out of 12. I do have full sets of Infinity Challenge, Clobberin' Time (including the ultra rae Nightcrawler), Xplosion, plus DC Hypertime and 3 shy of a full set of Hypertime. Then I have about 2/3 of the IndyClix set. I bought some loose DC Unleashed... not interested in that set much. Cosmic Justice has a few good ones, like Venom, but that's about when I stopped.
The new Marvel Ultimates set looks pretty cool, and I may get these. They did raise the price of boosters though, to $6.50-8 depending on where you get them... for 4 random figs. I used to be able to get them for like $3.50-4.50 a booster online on the older sets. Yikes!!
EDIT: Just one a set of the Ultimates, with no uniques, (84 figs) for about the price of 11 boosters! Not too shabby... now I can just hold off and get the uniques as I see deals on ebay. WAY cheaper than trying to make a set the old-fashioned way! [img]wink.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

Yeah, I am starting to see the big picture. It will take a looong time, but resources are out there and Ebay seems to have pretty much everything it's only a matter of price.
I wanted a while back to start collecting from the boxes too, but a few friends told me it will just help you pile up a lot of dibs of little value and yes they also told me that the trading is the way to go once you have a few spares.
I kinda would like to bite myself. I should have started way long ago this madness [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">You're not kidding. I just won a handful of U's and LE's, with more by tonight probably, for a fraction of what they've been going for. Combine a holiday weekend with the flood of newly released stuff, and you're sure to get steals on prior releases, especially lots. Keep these factors in mind when you go to sell, too.Quote:

So far I got my Divebomber, Hepzibah, and Calypso LE's for $20 shipped, vs. $10-$15 each that I've seen previously.
On the way are the Xavier and Cyclops U's from IC, Spiderman U from XP, Darkseid U from HT, and an Elektra LE for under $35. The market is at a low at the moment.
Just do me a favor and don't go outbidding ropcer. [img]mad.gif[/img] [img]wink.gif[/img]

ditto to you. [img]wink.gif[/img]
And hey... what do you want for that extra Shazam! ?
I can't ask too much for him - it may be an LE, but it's not hard to come by. Any one Unique would probably be a fair trade, or a handful of REV's from your dupes. I've been meaning to go over my lists again to streamline my higher priorities.
I tried to do some bargain hunting Sunday night and ended up bidding $22 on a MK LE that I really don't need. Don't tell the wife... In two weeks I blew my toy budget for the next 4-5 months. I should get a bigger toy budget...
I'll keep an eye out for that handle. Hopefully you weren't up for any of those I put bids on this weekend. [img]rolleyes.gif[/img]
