$60 feels a tad steep for this Hulkbuster Iron Man...   I paid that for the two pack of Hulk and Banner - so I don't know.    The Marvel Select version of this same armor retailed for half that price.   yikes.

Generally, I tend to be all-in on Iron Man armors, but at $60 this feels steep. So I'm going to do something I never do but see a lot of other folks doing: I'm going to hold off for a better price in the future. And if it sells out...? The ToyBiz one (or even the movie version) still looks good in my collection.

I ordered HB from Amazon, then I'll decide later whether to keep. I ran into a situation with the Shield pack where I didn't preorder, then I want one when BBTS and Pulse are sold out.  I got one of those last night from CMD.

@mrboshek My thinking too. 50% chance I just delete this order even though he's really well done. He is really only on the margins of the parameters of what I collect.

Same here.

While this is well done, I really was hoping for a different version of the Hulk Buster armor.  This one is so similar to the MCU version that I just don't feel the need to spend that much $ when the previous Hulk Buster's are good enough.

Ha!  I was watching his latest video in bed on my phone and his voice sent my girlfriend off to slumberland.  I should play clips of his voice if she ever has trouble falling asleep.

What kind of monster doesn't use headphones while watching videos next to someone?

@thor-el  Good!  Use your financial sense, Thor-El.  Let the frugality flow through you.

Boog posted a video last night listing what he thinks are the last three members of this set--Dan Yun yesterday said that the retro Venom is one of the ten even though it's not in the 85th anniversary packaging, the rumored Odin, and a Cabal 4-pack.

If he's right then the remaining question is which members of the Cabal get included in the pack...

Yeah the Venom figure just has a sticker on the card to show it is part of the 85th collection.

The current belief/rumour/wishful thinking around the Cabal pack is Doctor Doom, Lady Loki, Taskmaster and Iron Patriot.  There is still talk about whether this will be a 4-pack or 5-pack so it could be more or less.  Also there is more to Emma Frost, Namor, or Red Hood being members than Taskmaster so who knows.  We'll find out soon enough I'm sure.

Personally I would want Taskmaster, Iron Patriot, Doctor Doom and Lady Loki or Emma Frost.  Mostly because I want updated versions of Taskmaster and Iron Patriot.  I have a couple of Doctor Doom's already but a new, updated one would be nice.  Lady Loki and Emma Frost aren't big wants for me, but it would give us another female figure update.

A 3rd Lady Loki release would certainly be something. In an ideal world a well executed classic Loki would show up here, but a modern Loki would be more on-theme.

If a 5-pack, I'm totally fine if they go off-theme and throw in a random villain who wasn't actually a member. Take the opportunity to sneak in Wizard, Graviton, Titania...hell, Paste Pot Pete would make my year.

Boog addressed that in his video and claimed that his source says it's a 4-pack.

I really hope it's a male Loki (maybe Siege era) instead of a THIRD Lady Loki. It's a nice figure, but a third shot when that retro card version went on deep clearance? No thanks.

@normdapito Agreed. I want a good male Loki. The one we got leaves a lot to be desired...

Classic Loki is the #1 most needed Loki by a mile (and probably in the top 10 most needed figures generally), but a well done Siege-era Loki could make for an excellent figure.

Essentially just an update of this old Wal-Mart exclusive:
