At first when I heard that Pursuit of Cobra is being pushed back to Fall I was sad, as there were some great figures shown at the Joecon that I really wanted to get my hands on, but now I'm seeing it as a blessing in disguise. I manage my finances via Mint.com, and I sorted my "Action figure" transactions since July and yowza, I was not expecting it to be that much. Other than some pending purchases through the board and a few of the exclusives I plan on going back and picking up a few things I missed out on during the 25th, and then sorting through my collection and getting it displayed.

What about everyone else?

Before December it felt like we were getting a new wave of figures every month. Just about the time I picked up a figure I was looking for, another figure was out. Those Christmas sales helped get rid of a ton of peg warming product.

I'm betting a lot of that product never makes it out. So, I'm going with bad thing.

It'll give me some time to catch up on the figures I missed.
While waiting for the PoC line I hope the Club will come through with their Adventure Team figures.

Kind of. There are so many figures I haven't bought yet that I want, and probably two waves worth of figures I have yet to see. I want to catch up.

On the flip side of that, I'm afraid that this is going to kill the line and a lot of it won't be produced. We'll know when Toyfair comes around, though, I suspect.

I'm taking a "Wait and See" approach to this. Let's see what's shown at Toy Fair and in what form, and let's see what gets to the stores whenever it does. As my main interest is presently mostly vehicles, and as I have been very impressed with what's been shown in the Club Newsletter, I am sincerely hopeful that these WILL come out, and will be quite disappointed with regard to a number of them if they don't. Nothing I can directly do about it, though, so -- I'd say I am concerned, and I can't say as I regard it as good news, but I am prepared to be patient (for a change...) :roll:

I'm glad to have the break. With my business catching fire and I still am not up and running, I don't have a lot of money coming in. I need the break. The electrician has been taking forever to get everything set. So with luck it'll be slow until March I hope. Trickle stuff out but don't flood it out.

i'm actually (very) fine with it. as a MU fan, there's a metric billyload of those coming out this spring --

it'd be nice to focus on "one line at a time" for a bit -

I'm glad for it. Like others, I haven't seen everything yet, but this will give me time to customize a little more and sae money for the fall.

As for the figures not coming out at all, I hope they do. Maybe the push back to fall is for the release of the possible new show. That would be pretty great.

I agree with that, pretty much everything I've seen for 2010 I've been interested in which is a big change from 2009. Would be a shame if some of them get cut, but I suppose we'll get a better idea when Toy Fair rolls around.

I'm in the "kind of" category. I'm glad to get a break especially considering how we were hit with tons of product for the movie push, but this really seems to be a feast or famine deal. I'm hoping that there are at least some surprise store exclusives in addition to what has already been announced.

But, if not, I can focus on getting Marvel Universe figures.

I'm glad for the break too. There's still a few guys I'd like to track down. It'd be nice if stuff that got limited releases previously got larger ones. But this let's me save up for Marauder John's much anticipated wave 6.
