Hey guys, I was wondering when you think the supplies of the Martain Manhunter will go out of stock, because I had a paycheck coming in on the 16th and didn't know if it would last till then?

picked up 4 MM's since my local target finally had the lex armor back in stock should pair nicely with the flash

I bet MM will be on the north side of $30 on the Comic Con floor. If not more.

Sent from my iPad using Brickpicker

Just ordered something and didn't get the MM. It's getting tight. Which is good.

It seems to me that maybe it's because they are more obscure than the mainline characters, no? I mean, someone mentioned that the promo Hulk is doing better than Jor-El and that seems fairly logical when you think about how much more mainline the Hulk is. Same applies to TC-14 who looks like a chrome C-3PO vs. Hoth Han who looks like some dude in a parka.

This makes me think that Martian Man Hunter won't live up to the resale hype that the early sellout indicates, because frankly, who is Martian Man Hunter?

Add the fact that my wife said something to the effect of "he looks kinds dumb and ugly" and I was happy to pass and wait for 2x points.

 

Next time I wanna add a super hero to my collection .. ill be sure to ask your wife for advise ... seems she the expect when it comes to one of the first Justice league characters.

Less than two weeks into the month and Lego already ran out of Martian Manhunters? Hmm, I guess people really did want the minifigure after all.

Maybe not. They wanted Zoos, didn't get them, but tons of MMs instead. The last of mine arrived today, by hearse.

I'm really glad I got mine early. 

I have 11 and i am happy with that. I will part with all of my polybag minifigures this christmas. All of the limited edition 2013 christmas sets next christmas.

The LEGO store here still has a bunch. Maybe they shipped most of them out to the stores so they could label us resellers and not have to give out more than one "per household".

Well, in store they did not have to deal with the whole dog and pony show, ehrr, hearse and zoo show

I apologize if this isn't the place, but not knowing MM well myself, would you sell one now or later?

I'd want to hold onto Super Heroes sets for a while, but seeing how some promos like Han Solo were once $30+ and now $10, I imagine some should be sold while they're hot (freshly run out and in demand).

hold till at least xmas

Clearly my point was lost on at least a few of you, to the point of insult even...classy.

I'm not sure why I should bother to clarify, but whatever... I was talking about what people buy when it comes time to sell, which is sort of a theme with this site no? What I'm NOT talking about is your personal collection. People buy what they know and what they see. For example, Spider-Man, Batman, The Hulk, etc. I forgot, which recent movie/cartoon/poster/toy isle display was Martain Man Hunter in again? Oh right, he wasn't. Well that must be why my wife, and millions of other Mom's out there have no idea who he is and why my 4 year old knows Spider-Man and Batman, but not the green guy with the blue pants and the cape. Not everyone buying your resold LEGO is a DC Comic fanatic like yourself, it's just a fact and it's what drives me to pass on this chase.

No..you are saying not everyone is a super hero fan?

Oh no...everyone IS a super hero fan...they all just think Martain Man Hunter is a pansy. :)

Sorry to admit, I had never heard of MM before. He must be in the LEGO Marvel game as my boys already know more than I do about him.

I also apologize to those in this thread for asking if I should keep or sell and then seeing afterward it was already mentioned to wait on it.

The collective super hero knowledge on this forum = fail.  Martian Manhunter in the "Marvel" game?

Maybe because this isn't a super hero forum? Why don't you just politely educate members instead of being an ass about it? This goes for everyone being obnoxious in this thread not just you.

I have posted about Martian Manhunter several times already as have other members explaining who he is.  And here I thought this was the Superheroes forum.  That's what it says near the top.

This is going to end well.

 

 

Who is going to buy these polybags? I can't see the casual fan being all that interested in MM, it's not mainstream enough.

Yes...that was my point as well.  Hence my rhetorical question about whom he is. 

 

I would think that selling him sooner rather than later would be the best option because those that know and care who he is won't wait to get him.

Martian Manhunter might not be mainstream now, but that could change if DC gets off thier butt and make Justice League movie. There must be a reason why he was chosen as a promo giveaway. There are many other known Superheroes/ Villans in both Marvel and DC that are popular and don't have any figures. TLG might be setting him up for something further down the line.

So even in a Justice League movie, he is still only rumored to be "the most likely second-stringer."

I had six and sold them all yesterday and today. I don't wait on these promo poly bags/sets, unless they are seasonal (Christmas truck, sleigh, stand, etc). If they appreciate higher then oh well. I'll take my money now and reinvest. Besides, the whole point of acquiring the promo for me in the first place was to provide a discount on the set I purchased to acquire it. Money is in the bank. Moving on...
