That would be utterly ridiculous and they would never sell out, no matter how "cool" the figure is. (I know you weren't being totally serious, but I just want to explain why this wouldn't work):
I know the figure looks great, has lots of cool accessories, etc, but the ONLY reason everyone is currently drooling over this Storm Shadow is that he is shortstacked (basically one per case), not included in the new revision case, and therefore "hard to find". Storm Shadow is an individual character, not a trooper or a soldier, and it wouldn't really make sense to put more than 2 per case maximum. Once everyone got their 1 or 2 figures, that would probably be it for buyers, unlike a techno viper or a shock trooper for example, which some people might buy 20 or 30 of (this is why the 30th wave 1 assortment worked so well- it was basically all troopers except for stalker). Look at POC wave 3 missile pack duke and arctic SS, those were 3 per case and I STILL see them swinging behind the wave 2 renegades junk in almost every TRU I go into.
Some argue that people would be buying tons of these SS figures if they were more plentiful to make "custom ninjas" (...?), but I think that's just wishful thinking. Again, I'm not saying they wouldn't sell well in the beginning, but like any individual character they'd probably wind up pegwarming eventually.
