We'll have to agree to disagree then. The big "Resolute" on the card should have been your first indication that these are not part of the classic line of figures but obviously we don't see it the same way. You're just determined to lump this Resolute line in with the classic figures as if they were somehow related. To be clear, other than being released in a case with some classic figures, these Resolute figures have no relation to the classic line whatsoever. You're free to believe they're related all you want but I'll always say you're wrong because these Resolute figures are not classic reproductions like the rest of the 25th//modern era line. They're figures from the upcoming Resolute cartoon. That makes them a separate line of figures that must be distinguished from the classics.
Oh and I'd bet money that if they only produced one or two legacy line figures per wave, instead of the 5 or 6 they're producing now, they'd figure out a way to box them up and send them out in the clone wars cases. They would not continue sending them out in their own waves as that wouldn't be cost efficient. |

I'm just getting one of each figure now instead of two. This started with Barbecue oddly enough. I opened the figure and decided I just didn't like it enough to buy another one just to keep MOC. This has lasted thru the repaints. But I did get two Mutts and Airbornes, just cuz they're still awesome.
So yeah, it's fading a bit. I just need to find an Alpine which I'm sure will happen someday. As for the upcoming 5-figure box sets, I'll probably pass. Unless I find them deeply discounted. Then again, the next time Target has a $4.99 sale I may just pick up the slack! We'll see... |

One thing that I loved about collecting this line was the thrill of the hunt. But now everything is so easy to get, and it seems like all of the major error/variants are the only things that have any real value, other than nostalgia/hobby. And the hunt lost it's appeal. Don't get me wrong I love staring at my collection I have so far, but will I make any sort of profit from this collection.......Doubt it.
