Damn it. I'm going to go broke buying IF. Luckily I was able to nab Ashura Knights for $85 shipped. Coneheads will be mine.
Wow, that is a lot of stuff that I'm going to trade Iron Factory some money for. I think I'll stick with DX9 for the Seekers and Coneheads, but Bruticus, Shockwave, and Dai Atlas are definite must-buys.
I'm probably going to get the DX9 Seekers but since they're more G1-esque, they'll go with my TC, SS, and SW shelves, rather than with my Legends scale display since it's mostly IF and IF does more IDW-esque designs. Their seekers will likely be the F22 style to match the more modern take. Curious to see how their Coneheads turn out too.
This is a good representation of just how much shelf space is needed to display the entire IF lineup announced to date: Sure, there are a bunch of doubles in there, but it's still going to requite about that much space overall.
I welcome all KO 3rd party Legends figures whether I need them or not, as some of these designs are just too damn awesome to be limited to one size class. Yeah....I'm looking at you Iron Factory.
So $510 worth of new figures, using the inflated North American retailer prices first published by BBTS. Ouch!
