    2013 Sub - Keeping vs Chucking. Who's keeping what from this year's sub?

    With so much talk about the sub being all in or nothing, having to buy figures you don't want to get the ones you do, I was wondering what sort of plans people had with the upcoming figures to see how many people actually do plan to keep most of what's released.

    Honestly, if they were all Day of Sales and I wasn't 'forced' to buy them, I'd be interested in fewer, but my list is as follows:

    Netossa - Sold
    Ram Man - Keeping
    Jitsu - Keeping
    Fang Man - Selling
    King He Man - Keeping
    Snake Face - Keeping
    Fighting Foe Men - Keeping (probably)
    Karatti - Selling
    Octavia - Keeping
    Clamp Champ - Keeping
    New Adventures He Man - Keeping (maybe)
    Geldor - Selling

    So, I am still ahead in what I am committed to - now just to not get stuck with the duds.

    Well, I too went "all in" and thus far....

    Netossa - Traded
    Ram Man - Keeping
    Jitsu - Keeping
    Fang Man - Keeping
    King He Man - Keeping
    Snake Face - Keeping
    Fighting Foe Men - Keeping (probably - although the only one I really like is the hooded Gar)
    Karatti - Selling or Trading
    Octavia - Keeping (probably - I'll decide when she arrives)
    Clamp Champ - Trading
    New Adventures He Man - Trading
    Geldor - Trading

    So yeah, that was a lot of trading....however, I filled in/will be filling in some holes I wanted filled for awhile so it wasn't all bad. I don't think I'll be doing it again next year though unless there is a higher percentage of figures I want to keep. If there's only a handfull I'll preorder from BBTS or hit the marketplace.

    Keeping everything revealed so far except for possibly the Fighting Foe Men. I just really can't stand them and I'm either going to try to recoup as much of my $75 as possible or use them in much the same way that I'm using Cy-Chop (who I also absolutely cannot stand):

    I will be keeping all my 2013 figures.
    The only questionable one is Netossa, but I'll just display her in my daughters room for now. She can play with her, and some of the other POP characters when she is older.

    My will is weak and I might end up keeping every figure. But I'll try to sell a few:

    Netossa - Keeping
    Ram Man - Keeping
    Jitsu - Might sell/trade
    Fang Man - Might sell/trade
    King He Man - Might sell/trade
    Snake Face - Might sell/trade
    Fighting Foe Men - Keeping
    Karatti - Keeping
    Octavia - Keeping
    Clamp Champ - Keeping
    New Adventures He Man - Keeping
    Geldor - Undecided

    I am looking for these Marvel Legends figures

    I bought 3 subs.

    Netossa - Keeping 2/Sold 1
    Ram Man - Keeping 3
    Jitsu - Keeping 2/Selling 1
    Fang Man - Keeping 2 (maybe 3)/Selling 1 (maybe)
    King He Man - Keeping 2/Selling 1
    Snake Face - Keeping 2 (maybe 3)/Selling 1 (maybe)
    Fighting Foe Men - Keeping 3
    Karatti - Keeping 2/Selling 1
    Octavia - Keeping 2 (maybe 3)/Selling 1 (maybe)
    Clamp Champ - Keeping 3
    New Adventures He Man - Keeping 2/Selling 1
    Geldor - Keeping 2/Selling 1

    The keeping 3 depends on my favorite figures/characters from when I was a kid.
    Other figures I'm getting 3 of are what most would call C & D listers: Rio Blast, Extendar, Blade, Saurod, Gwildor, Modulok, Multi-bot, Rokkon, Stonedar, Dragstor, and some of the Filmation Characters.

    Got 4 of everything. Selling half of it. Probably going to sell 3 and maybe all 4 of the Fighting Foe Men. Two of them I'm going to pare up with King He-man. I just can't absorb $300 for figures I have no connection to in any way. If Mattel keeps doing this the line will end. They need to produce what people really want instead of finding a way to gouge fans with no-name figures in between a,b,and c list characters. If Mattel had offered a Horde Trooper 2 or 3 pack in place of the FFM, the subs would have done better.

    And one more thing...Fang Man rules! I love him and I'm keeping him!
    It's all about being polished when it counts!

    I bought one sub and subbed with someone who didnt want the vintage figures. So I will have a Ram Man, Jitsu, Clamp Champ and whatever other vintage characters they make this year. I did however also agree to take someone's NA figures so I can start a MOC collection.
    Mattel I demand the following:
    MOTUC:
    Spinwit,Fisto(THANK YOU) Spinnerella Lord Dactys, The Scientists
    DCUC: Shining Knight, Saint Walker, Amethyst

    I'm keeping everything too. I like new characters and those that I don't have any previous "connection to in any way." If all MOTU ever is and ever will be is continuous rehashing of the same characters we already know and love then it would surely die after all the nostalgia based collectors get their 80s remakes. I'm glad to see the line growing and encompasing more characters, it means there is hope for new possibilities in the future to be mixed in with all of our old favorites from the 80s.

    I got 2 subs, and I will be selling or trading everything in the second, unless one of the unannounced figures is one I want two of. If the army builder is Horde Troopers I will keep both sets

    Of my primary sub:

    Netossa - Kept
    Ram Man - Keeping
    Jitsu - Keeping
    Fang Man - Keeping
    King He Man - Keeping
    Snake Face - Keeping
    Fighting Foe Men - Keeping (And I may keep the 2nd set for customs if there is not a market or interest)
    Karatti - Keeping
    Octavia - Keeping
    Clamp Champ - Keeping (Probably)
    New Adventures He Man - Keeping (maybe)
    Geldor - Selling
    Its is spelled "Crita", not "Critta". Misspell her name and Crita will knock the "T" out of you!

    Also...get her into the line!
