That's what we call a BAF (Build A Figure) BAF is evil! Think of it this way, the BAF is a Giant Snake Armor, sure, a great toy but in order to get all the parts, you have to buy 6 seperate figures. Still a great deal right? Now you find out all 6 figures are neon repaints of Snake-Eyes V1 and Storm Shadow V1. Is it still a great deal?
Now what if they have all new, all different figures which are really good, but you can never find the last figure. Meaning you will never be able to complete that Snake Armor, BUT you can buy a whole Snake Armor on ebay, or you can buy that last figure without the piece of Armor you need. Are ya frustrated yet? People are already upset about having to buy 6 comic packs to get Doc, and most of the comic packs have pretty good figures (Well wave 2 and 3 that is) |

Yeah... the only reason they did this with the ML lines is so that people are obligated to buy the crap figures or pay marked up after market values for the pieces to complete the figure.

I don't want a "build an" anything with 25th Joes. I don't want to have to buy unimproved SE or SS or CC repaints in order to get the front wheel of a motorcycle or the cannon for a suit of SNAKE armor.

Agreed... no building of any kind. Unless its removing pieces from a sprue.
