Geeeeeez. Even rocking an Onyx discount that price is still a giant middle finger to fans from Hasbro. Get three figures for the price of four. Thanks, Hasbro, but I can?t smash that NOPE button hard enough.

There's also a bunch of blast effects included. Even still, too high a price.

No way, you guys are being too cheap.


I mean look at all you get, plus the surprise of a mystery box (will the figures have good paint apps? Will all the accessories be included? Who knows? It's a mystery........


All that for the low, low price of only $140 (approx.), or $46 each figure, after tax.



I mean you guys do understand that these are new paint decos right? NEW PAINT DECOS!!!! Plus the blast effects!!!!!



(Just ignore the mold reuse with no changes)


We should all be bowing down to Hasbro and thanking them for bestowing this wondrous gift upon us in today's market.


I mean what do you expect? That a multi-pack, of the same figure with, basically, only new paint decos would somehow be cheaper than buying 3 figures individually? C'mon, what do you think this is 2009?

Hasbro clearly saw the TRU price increases and said, "Me too!"

I will be very interested to see what sort of profits they report in their next annual report.

The problem is all these mid 40s men army building. They know they can charge more as we will pay. Seriously set some limits people for yourselves. I only have 16 Cobra Infantry, 16 BATs and 10 Alley vipers. Also have lots of secondary market weapons including 50cals…what was my point again

Oh man, I'm sorry. I didn't realize how tough it is for you and usernameprime. I forget not everyone can be as lucky as others. You guys having to settle for such small Cobra armies is tough. I'm sorry, I won't highlight your lack of army building anymore...


I'm actually interested to see what the end of the year will be like on the shelves. Emily stated in the Fan First that their plan is to wait until they get a set number of units before shipping. This is to try and prevent the empty shelves, and lack of desired product being available in sufficient quantities.



So if that is the case, will we see a glut of army builders at the end of the year, specifically BATs and AVs? I mean they will sell no matter what, but there are other army builders coming (CG, Viper 3-pack). As well by then scalpers will have moved on to the next hot thing, and army builders will probably have picked up quite a lot, and will also be looking to build the next wave. So I think we might see a similar situation to the Cobra Infantry where it becomes easier to get by the end of the year. Also it isn't going to be quite as easy anymore to say "oh well I might as well grab another" with the way prices have gone.


That and we should have about 1 MILLION Gung-Ho on the shelves for Christmas. Remember, it won't be Christmas 2022 unless every child gets a Gung-Ho in their stocking!!
