for crying out loud. for one, you don't know whether these were intended to be single carded anyway, so you aren't missing out on them being single carded anymore than any other figure that has been included in a comic or other multi-pack, so that simply isn't an issue.
second, instead of releasing these figures across several waves, filling the single carded releases with repaints you would complain about or repacks you would complain about, or pairing a few of them with lame repaints in comic or multi-packsy ou would complain about having to buy just to get the other new figure, Hasbro decides to release them all in one fell swoop, in two large sets, and make them internet exclusives so you wont have to fight the scalpers for them at retail which you would complain about as well, and what do you do???? you freaking complain about it! there is a serious lack of reason here at the Tank. |

Okay so im taking it that the majority of collectors don't want them singled carded.
I was not trying to bitch, I just would like these amazing figures single carded for my collection. After all these are the only modern figures we are getting. I thought altering the production numbers of certain figures would also help out collectors. I will rethink before I post again as I feel some responses to me and my ideas are quite uncalled for as I have insulted no one. |

I'm just happy to have the new figures... Don't care what they're in. At least it has six troop builders and one main character and not the other way around.

I will rethink before I post again as I feel some responses to me and my ideas are quite uncalled for as I have insulted no one. two, there's a reason they have been lumped into 2 sets for the internet instead of going to retail in either single or comic pack form -- either Hasbro doesn't want to release anymore figures to retail in this line before the movie or retailers don't want anymore figures from this line before the movie because they have enough inventory on hand or on order to last them until then. it can only be one or the other, it wasn't an arbitrary decision, and your proposal completely negates this as if Hasbro hadn't considered it and decided against it for their own reasons or in response to retailer needs. yes, Hasbro could have done what you are proposing, and the fact that they haven't means they don't want to, so what purpose does your petition serve. or do you honestly believe Hasbro simply didn't consider the possibility to single card these figures? |

Hasbro would have single carded this if there was a reason to, they'd make more money (ALOT more money) in the long run if they singled carded them.
They didn't. So there must be a financial reason why.

Hell, release 'em in the box sets and then go and release 'em single carded. As long as they are the EXACT same.
I can't stand this crap of doing it in a box set and then releasing a "fixed" version as a single-card, or vice versa (single carded, then fixed vesion in a box set).

Well enough fans complained about the first 5 packs not being single carded that Hasbro gave us a whole wave of single carded figures from those packs. Then those became shelf warmers and people were still complaining (Myself included as I wanted a certain Cobra Trooper )
So it's quite possible that Hasbro will release these all as single carded figures. For myself, however, I could care less. In fact I don't want them single carded. If the sets cost around $40 (like the previous 7 packs) that comes to a grand total of around $6 per figure. Saves me about $1 per figure, which saves me $14 in total. That savings covers the shipping. So now I'm back to retail price but I didn't spend any gas. Since I want all of them and if they were in a case assortment like the OP made, I'd have to buy the whole case just to get all the figures I want. I don't know about you guys, but it's pretty rare that I can find a whole case of figures at retail lately. So I'd have to drive all over town looking for all of them. Best case example, I've just spent 1/8 tank of gas, worst case, a whole tank of gas (I'll drive up to an hour away to find them if I'm crazed enough ) So that's anywhere from another $1-$16 tacked onto the price of these toys. Your logic hurts so good. |

Add me to the list of people that don't care how these are released. I'm happy to be getting them.
I open all my figures. As cool as card art can be, I actually prefer the precut filecards that come in multi-packs. They take up less space and don't get messed up as easily. |
