I realise you guys are big on repaints as they save money but I think this time it bit you in the ass. You see you put out an Ultimate Battle Pack that is anything but ultimate. It should have been called Box of Repaints, with one new figure and one unique vehicle at a ridicules price. You see when you said at Joe Con it would be $50 that was almost acceptable for what we got, but $63? On top of thet the one new vehicle (Mobat) has no modifications on it to make it 25th compatible (Steeler is so tall in it you have to cut him off at the knees to make it look like he's supposed to.)
Basically the end result is the sad display I saw today at Target and is pictured below. I hope you learn from this and next time at least give us all army builders instead of repaints we could care less about, and if you are going to give us a unique vehicle at least give it the proper retooling it needs to fit in the line.

Thats how it was at my local target till they marked them down half price. They still have a bunch left. I am not into the battle pack, but if it goes down some more I may pick one up.

I wish my Targets had that many so they have plenty when clearance time comes around.

Target around here had nowhere near as many as what's in that picture at any one time.
At most 6 in stock and then nothing. Wish I had the luxury to complain about it.

I bought one the first time I saw one, then for about 3 weeks they disappeared, so I was happy to have got it. Now the have piled up at the 2 targets I go to. I hope they reduce the price, I may get 2 more

I swear to got, if you don't like it, please don't buy it.
Only by the good stuff. This is the only way we will make Hasblo make the stuff we all know they are capable of producing. There is just no excuse for mediocrity.

My Target got a bunch in before Thanksgiving and now only has one or two left. I bought a set and really liked it. Even at $63.00, it is still a good bargain if you break it down. You get 7 figures, a Trouble Bubble a HISS and the MOBAT. If you value the figures and Flight Pod at $5.00 each, the HISS at $10.00 and the MOBAT at $13 then you hit $63.00 which seems fair to me. I wish they were cheaper, too, but its not like the price is totally crazy.

At least you have the option. We in Canada don't get that with these damn Target exclusives. Had to pay $65-70 each for a Rattler and Conquest. I don't want to see what the TF and PP stuff is going to cost.
