Yeah, like that. I think to start, would probably focus on UXM 141 homages (as that's the most iconic, and probably also plentiful). After that, probably #1 and GSXM #1, but likely 141 first. Any publisher/series, I think...the idea would be to have a collection so that once I put up some display shelves at some nebulous future point, I can cycle in a wall of homages periodically.

Thanks! That's going to mean...a lot of sifting through, haha.

I'm in!

Hey all, does anyone know of any website(s) that has a solid listing or database of homage covers, or a way to search for them without just sifting through multiple random lists from Google? Or at least, lists of the covers that tend to be referenced the most? As I'm approaching the end of completing my Uncanny X-Men v1 full run (37 books left and counting...!), I'm looking towards the next goal to keep me engaged. Completing v2-v6 won't be too difficult, and while I want to start branching into all of the other X-related titles, I'm overflowing in my current storage space setup as it is, and all the related titles are...a lot, haha. So instead, I was thinking more about future display possibilities, where I eventually hope to have a few shelves to show some books behind me on work calls (since my future collecting space will likely also be my work-from-home space). I always had this in the back of my head as a nice idea, anyway, so I thought it might make a good next goal to work towards. And luckily (or unluckily?) for me, since my eye would be for X-Men homages, I'd focus on 141 and GSX 1 homages first, which I know have quite a lot. But since there are a lot...was hoping there might already be some somewhat-complete lists out there to get started with, so I don't have to reinvent the wheel completely.

What is this? Where did you get it? I need one for my collection. For...science.

Form submitted! Went down to 35, hopefully even being #46 something from that list will still be available.

Sigh, wish I had the space for it...I've wanted a spinner rack for a long while, but just don't currently have anywhere to put it

I think I’ll wait for the posted list to see what number I am…can’t keep count of names to remember what number it’s at, and anyway I figure mine’s by the bottom, it usually is lol. Oh, and my lot (26?) should say US shipping, but I’ll cover the first $15 to ship elsewhere.

Pulled out the books for my 80s Mutant gift box!

You keep your carded figures in longboxes? What do they look like inside? (Just curious; still trying to figure out storage solutions to mine.)

Congrats to all the winners!

Feel like I've seen the Superman set before...if it's the one I'm thinking of, it's a good one. Yeah, they made them for everything, though I think I'd say the most common I ever saw or still see are...I don't know what it's officially called, but like, skater art, rat fink art, random 90s-era zigzags, that kind of stuff. I never really had any myself (played it with friends a little, but only had a handful), but a while back, while clearing stuff out, my wife and I found a tube of pogs that she had as a kid, including her OJ Simpson slammer that said Guilty on one side and Not Guilty on the other . I'm hoping to find stuff like this out in the wild at some point or another, but I've only seen a handful of the Hardee's sheets over the years (plus some random loose ones).

You know it! The 90s are alive and well! Pog-wise, I have some Wolverine slammer still sealed from like 2005 when they apparently made some more, and a bunch of unpunched Hardee's three-pog sheets (including some duplicates, if anyone wants to trade ). There were a couple sets put out in the 90s that came all in like a plastic bag kind of deal (store-sold, as opposed to one of the fast food chain meal toys), but I haven't managed to find any of those packages in the wild (they're on eBay, but that's just...not fun, lol).

The Tiger game is awesome; it’s one of my three X-Men toy grails to try and find at a show/random store. Well, top 2 now I guess, since I managed to find my #1 at NYCC this year. Hmm, which I don’t remember if I ever posted… Top 2 things I hope to hunt down now are a working original issue Tiger X-Men game, and then all the X-Men pogs I can find (pooooogs!), preferably unpunched/unopened, hehe.

There’s no reveal thread yet (right? Or did I just totally miss it?), but after coming back from a not-super-fun long weekend trip, I decided to open mine up yesterday for Hanukkah. Thanks to the awesome @ADAMANTIUM for the great X-related grab bag! Gotta love a good Pressman! (One day, I’m going to find some good-looking way to display these games along with these variants, haha.)

After mashing my head on the keyboard several times and taking the average, the number that I came up with was... $975.34!

Yeah, these were re-released at some point in the 2010s, I think. These look like the re-releases.

Pics or it didn’t happen! Thanks to @ADAMANTIUM!

My gift from me is off in the mail already, and my gift to me has (after some accidental hurdles caused by me) been delivered already. Now to decide if I want to open it up later this week/next week for Hanukkah, or leave it for later in the month...

I...need more information. For science, of course.

Sad news...

Woohoo! Raffle time! I'm putting in my very own version of an MMMS mystery box -- that's right, Mutants, Mohawks, Mullets, and Spandex! Gonna fill a medium priority box (or something that size? I dunno, it's a box I got in a previous year's exchange/raffle) with some X-Men or X-related goodness from the glory days of the 80s, when our favorite mutants rocked some questionable hair styles. And while the X-Men may've been dodging the IRS by hiding out in Australia...I think this box'll have to be domestic only.

Congrats! And here's to another X-Men runner, it's definitely doable, especially 94-300!

I got my gift all set, just waiting for wrapping paper to arrive from Amazon later this week and hope to get it shipped out before this weekend!
