Should i get further into Marvel Legends??

I first got interested just to collect the IronMan figures but WarMachine is in the Galactus set so i wanna get all of them to finsh Galactus. But then Prof. X and Nightcrawler come so i wanna get the rest of the X-Men and the Avengers and then get Sentinel and Apocolypse. *Sighs* What do you guys think i should do? I'm stuck

Just get the figures you are interested in...avoid the trap of the "get-them-all" mentality if you are afraid you may overspend.

I got caught up in the frenzy of buying them all too recently and now I find myself not caring for the majority of them. The larger build-a-figures like Giant-Man, Apocalypse & the Sentinel are great...but I'm sticking with buying the last few pieces I need off eBay instead of tracking down the figures that the pieces came with. In fact, I'm selling/trading off my unwanted MLs since all I really care to keep are the various Avengers characters...

I'm with the others that have posted in here already. I started out with just the Xmen, then I got Galactus, so I had to get a Silver Surfer to go along with him. Then I got Onslaught, which included Blackheart, so I had to get a Ghost Rider, and so on and so forth. I feel your pain. The good part is, I'll have all the Xmen SOON!!! (except for the super rare chases)

Go for it, you can get all of wave 13 (not including variants) at BBST for $50, that’s cheaper then some of the bigger Transformers.

Turn back and run now!!!!!

I started with just collecting X-men Marvel legends. and then moved on to the rest of the marvel Universe (that I liked).

Long story short, you will get hooked. So if you want to save money stop now. But they are great figures so it's not a bad series to collect.

Yeah, the common theme here is just buy the characters you like. Alot of us have fallen for the "got to get them all" mindset.

I was getting into that whole "gotta get them all" mind set, I dont know what stopped me from doing it though. Lately. Ive only been getting the figures that I really REALLY like. get the ones you like. forget the rest.

They are an addictive trap I tell ya.. I got into them a few years ago. I passed till about wave 7.. Then I got a few.. then I just exploded on getting them all. Look in my sig to see how many I have. I also have a bunch of Spiderman Classics figures. They are basically Marvel Legends.

Flee while you still can..
