if you can somehow argue that it is better for collectors to not have the opportunity to buy figures than it is to have the opportunity to buy figures, I'm waiting to hear it.
I just can't see how paying wellover what a store already charges is helping. I personally would never pay more than what a store charges and that includes variants. If people want to buy from scalpers then thats on them but doing that will only cause scalpers to stick around longer.
As for army building I army build (well i used to until these prices went nuts) I define army as having MAYBE 6-10 of a troop figure. And a solution to army building would be something like the red ninja packs (if they were done like the single card version same with the CG packs) the cg packs and the green shirt packs. Now the biggest problem with the red ninja and cg packs is they are different from their single card counter parts. I personally don't like the red ninja packs because of that. well that and the snake eyes that comes with it. Same with the green shirts. While night watch i did not care for they got it right same with the cg packs albeit the silver faces are dumb. so lets make some bat packs, some normal cg packs, some normal snow serpent packs etc. and make them available to the general public not online or store exclusives. That would be a great step in elminating the army builder problem.
