Re: Marvel Universe 35th Anniversary Giant Size X-Men Box Set Out In Canada

Ugh. That is the exact opposite of what I hoped to see... would rather that we got the "plain" regular one than the BAMF version... Hasbro seems to have a habit of doing this with MarvelU all the time. I heard similar stories from other collectors that the US gets one variant, then Canada gets the other version... making life hard on both sides of the border! Stupid!

Yeah the box on the back says Hasbro Canada. Maybe that means something?

And saw some on Ebay for $100 yikes

I think Hasbro has gone overboard with all the variants and running changes in the line. Variants used to be this fun thing collectors could hunt for and brag about once they find one. Now it's nearly every wave and it 1) trivializes variants and 2) gets old very quick.

It appears the someone in the Toronto area is hitting up all the TRU's and buying 5 or more at a time. That makes it tough for the rest of us!

Yeah. I've been to 4 toys r us. Only one had them. I thought maybe they just haven't put them out but if that's the issue..funny. I see some on ebay for $100. Wonder if people are really buying them for that much

I was at the TRU at Cedarbrae today and they had about four or five of the variant version in stock. This was at 10 am.

It's at Markham & Lawrence in Scarborough.
