How many yellow Elites do you need? Packing him with the Ghost and then as a single, works against selling the Ghost pack. If you want the Elite, you'll have to buy the Ghost, which helps sales of the Ghost. Packing the same figures as singles and in multipacks works against moving the multipacks. It's one thing if the repacks are army builders, but they're characters like Master Chief and command-level figures.
Yeah, I've been thinking that myself. Putting a blue elite in the 3-pack, a red elite in the single-pack, and the gold elite with the Ghost (or something along those lines) would have made more sense and it's just a different plastic color batch. No difference in paint apps.
And the white MKVII (or whatever mark it is) Spartan being repacked into a 3-pack without switching to a different color was a waste too, especially since they chose the sniper version of the jackal instead of an energy shield and plasma pistol version (you would generally not need many snipers) and yet another repack of Masterchief. Make the white Spartan nearly any other color and make it two of the basic jackals you fight most often instead of a sniper and MC repack and that set might have actually moved off the shelves. Or heck, just repaint and triple-pack the Spartan as basic team red, team blue, and then a good all-purpose gunmetal grey or something.
And then of course, packing the same chief into the single pack, several multi-packs, the warthog, the mongoose, wave 2 singles, etc. is also killing the sell-through for single-pack and even multi-pack sets in my neck of the woods.
Sorry, it's just frustrating.
