Spotted the exclusive 4-pack at Target in Duarte today. At first I thought it was pretty cool, but after closer inspection, let me just say frog hair very much to whoever traded out the City Strike/Resolute Snake Eyes for a screaming Duke figure. You should be ashamed.

Did anyone check out the Long Beach Comic-Con this weekend? If so, how was it?

So bascially your saying, he has no right to be angry because some asshole swapped a figure that everyone wants? The only imbecile is the dick who did the repacking. Majority of us put up with Hasbro's repaint and buythem anyway to get one good figure. Then we have fuckers who instead buy sets, repack them, return them so those who actually want the item gets screwed. NO, it's repackers and scalpers that give collectors a bad name. Vent all you want RolandofGilead, you have every right too. |

I KNEW IT!!! I knew eventually we were going to see repacks of this set, and it even happened before it's release date. There will always be assholes that will do this and there's nothing we can do about it.

I think what gunslingercbr is refering to is that who ever did the re-packing is an imbecile, and immature. and yea that really sucks dude..i hate repackers, only seen it in person once and it sickened me.

I picked up the Target 4pack in NoHo. They had one pack left.
While the blue Neo-Vipers are nicer looking than the standard black, I prefer the TRU SRO Vipers which have much sharper colors. The Duke's okay, but he's got those screwed up Breaker hands. SE's more muscular than I thought he'd be. He's got some ripped shoulders. $20 for 4 figures ain't too shabby. |

Resolute Snake Eyes will either peg warm or see five more variations/packins before its done. I'm fairly certain Hasbro recognizes the popularity of the figure. On the other hand, Screaming Duke is part of the hardly produced Best of 80s Set. So many people didn't like him that they either a) sold him off, or b) converted into Custom Fodder. I think over time, O-Face will be acknowledged as a Classic from the 25th line. |

I'm pretty sure Roland and I are friends, or at least he's pretended to be when I've met up with him, so I am certain he understood that I was talking about the repacker, not him.
I've been fortunate only to meet collectors of sound mind, and we are all screwed by the imbeciles who make us look bad by their behavior and appearance. I was just pissed off that someone stole the figure. I wasn't even looking for it, but was SOL if I had wanted the four pack. Sad to say, I tossed the box back on the shelf instead of turning it in. The last time I tried to tell someone about a re-pack was in Kohl's and I had security following me out the store for my troubles.
