Nope. I don' have the funds to play that game. I don't have an eBay account and don't plan on being in that game any time soon either. I won't buy an item when I know I will be buying it's replacement in the near future. I'd rather wait for something high quality, if I know it's coming.
Each person gets to do what they like, and I won't bash on someone who proposes to take your route. But it's not for me.
I'm 100% in the Aggie's corner. While I do have an eBay account, and definitely buy/sell frequently, I'm not going to buy something whose aesthetics I'm not particularly fond of when I know something I will definitely like is around the corner. There's enough stuff coming out or in the pipeline to keep me occupied until then. I barely have enough time to fiddle with the figures I
do want, let alone those that don't appeal to me.

Hasbro has definitely shown a willingness to release figures that the Club has done in the recent past, so we may very well see an Overlord from them, especially given his prominence in the fiction. We'll see. Now
that would be a worthwhile Generations Leader toy!
Just to be clear,I actually do like this BTS Nova lord. I love the sculpt,aesthetics,Size,Gimmicks,colors & play value in all modes.
When I buy BTS Nova lord,I won't be treating it as a place holder until something else comes along. As I think it's the best thing ever created.
I more or less gave the place holder advice to Agamemnon. Due to MMC being so slow in releasing newer products. I figured while he was waiting over Two years for MMC Carnifex,He could be playing with Nova lord for a temp period. It was just a idea advice,I wasn't forcing the toy on him.
If Agamemnon doesn't like place holders that cool. But I do the place holders thing all the time with the HasTak TF toys. I recently did the place holder thing with UT Mania King.
The reasons why I do place holders. Is because i'm sick & tired of waiting Thirty plus years for the ultimage homage character toy to get made. I can't wait anymore years. I figure if I've got to wait more years,I might as well buy & play with a mild mediocre version until the superior versions gets made.
