Would you buy an Internet Exclusive Multipack with Classic Ripcord, Cover Girl, etc?

Since classic/modern era versions of Ripcord, Heavy Duty and Cover Girl are not planned for release before the movie to avoid confusing kids and parents at stores, would you buy an online exclusive multipack consisting of those figures and more, possibly army builders? I got the idea from the extreme conditions arctic and desert sets that Hasbro offered online only, that had a few key characters and army builders. By offering classic Ripcord, Heavy Duty, etc in an online exclusive multipack, there is no way kids or parents could get confused at retail stores, because these wouldn't be at retail stores.

Vote!

The only real Ripcord has the head of a Wayans. NO WAY!
(yea, I'm just trying to start trouble, lol)

Of course I'd buy it!

This seems like a pretty cool idea to me. The 'Bro could even accomplish it with a minimum of difficulty-- they have all the equipment for a halo jumper with the Cobra Para-Viper, and could make a pretty decent Cover Girl with Lady Jaye as a base.

I think this nonsense of confusing "average" customers is a weak excuse that didn't seem to trouble Hasbro when it was Transformers or Star Wars really for that matter.

I also don't like when single characters get mixed into army builder kits. If they wanted to release an Internet set as a means of releasing more vintage characters, I'd prefer it consist entirely of key character types. That way I don't get five Desert Bludds... oh wait.

All that said, I don't mind the idea if it means getting more classic characters out to us sooner.

That is a BIG yes on my part as I will not be buying the movie versions of any characters, especially "Ripcord"

They have done something similar with TFs, like saying there were tanks and tank like vehicles already in larger sizes, so Classics Galvatron had to be a deluxe.

Me? I think there are easy ways to distinguish a larger Galvatron from other tanks, and classic Ripcord from movie Ripcord.

Anyways if there was an internet only 7 pack with the figures I mentioned, and random joe army builders like some paratroopers, a SEAL, a sniper and random commando I'd buy a set.
