Im glad I grabbed Baroness when I saw her then. I almost passed because I like her but not like a die hard fan and I already had one that I got off ebay. When I saw them in a store here I grabbed Storm Shadow and Baroness and left Snake Eyes. They had like 5 of each and only 2 of her. Seems like Snake Eyes is the one always left behind now.

I too dont leave a mess when looking through boxes and as others have stated I sometimes will hang stuff on the peg as I go through it. Seems like the right thing to do.

They appreciate that more than anything, I suspect.

Also, I see the remnants of Wave 2 (Roadblocks) and Wave 1 (Snake-eyes) everywhere now. Whoever thought it was a good idea to shortpack the female figures is a real dumbshit. I'll never understand why this is so hard for toy companies (maybe in the case of retailer exclusives, the retailer has a say in the assortment ratios): the only figures that should ever have the lion's share of an assortment are troop-builders, and every other figure should have a minimum quantity of 2. This one per case shit needs to end.

I think short packing the female characters got its start from the days when we were kids and they didn't think female characters would be as popular with boys. That is what I was always told anyways.

All the Jynn Ersos peg warming everywhere didn't help.

Agreed. Being that was pretty recent it was probably a big part of the decision.

Zorri seemed to do ok. But that Jannah, man nobody is buying that one.

Yeah, and then there's the Rise of Skywalker Rey and Cara Dune and Ceremonial Leia that sold out in minutes (and don't forget that supposedly Walmart exclusive Last Jedi Rey that no one could find until they showed up in droves at discounters). It's hard to know what's gonna sell initially. The problem is, Hasbro is all extremes: they either short-pack or release the fucker by the gross. Find a middle ground, man! Like Jyn Erso was selling well as a boxed 3.75" Black Series even though it was overproduced and then Hasbro goes and re-releases it in the TVC not even a year later! Cassian Andor suffered the same weirdness. Like I said, just end the one per case shit and that'll go a long way towards mitigating the scarcity probs. "It's a woman, Boss...it'll never sell." "Just one-per-case it, boys! ONE. PER. CASE!" Fucking stupid. It really doesn't take a genius to look at a case of 3 Roadblocks, 2 Destros and 1 Scarlett (or 3 Snake-eyes, 2 Stormies and 1 Baroness)--or whatever the ratio is--and know that's an issue.

Especially—ESPECIALLY!!!—when you’ve invested in new tooling (head) for the figure!

...but, no. Scarlett new head, 1 per case. RB new head but lame legs, 2 per case. Destro, 100% retread (although better paint apps), 3 per freakin’ case. Smh...

I am really trying to stick with just the Classified line right now. However, I really like the look of the HISS tank and thought if I ever found it I would get it.

Well, I had off work Friday and had to take the car to the shop, after that I went to one Wal-mart close by, nothing on the pegs or shelves at all. I went to a Target close by, nothing on the pegs or shelves ( I was just curious of there would be any Classified there at all. Later in the day I went to a Wal-mart on the other side of town, like 20 minutes away from the first one from the morning. I turned the corner and almost every peg in the whole aisle was empty. Then I saw it on the shelf... one lonely HISS tank! I was absolutely shocked! I picked it up and will find a nice place to display it on my shelf.

Found a bunch of AWE Strikers, Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes this morning. Someone must’ve picked the Baronesses already, unfortunately. Can’t believe how many accessories these come with, feel bad most will just stay boxed up.

The thin cards really suck. I would've traded a smaller bubble and less accessories for thicker stock. I debated on getting the ones I did, but alas, my Wal-Mart pre-order is somewhere in the void.
