I also dont know why they cant just have the oring figures flopping around in the bubble like reaction and vintage joes.

Smaller cards doesn't equate to them being cheaper. That all depends on the sheet size of the substrate being used. Also they are separating the cards using a die stamp (Big ass bladed cookie cutter for paper). Changing the card size = new die which can actually effect which press does the run.

Truth. The only way to really save with packaging would be to remove the packing insert, as that would remove an entire step in the packing process. Considering these are marketed as +14, it shouldn't be a safety issue. Don't know how much that would end up saving...but there's the plastic product, the shaping device, and I imagine a manual laborer to put the figure and accessories in it.

Fun fact: Packaging takes up more of the total cost than you might think. When you buy a fountain soda, the cup usually costs more than the soda itself. While I do believe the cost of an O-ring figure IS more than the cost of packaging, it's hard to know by how much. The Hasbro 2022 2-packs drove me nuts, knowing that if they just offered single figures instead the cost (to Hasbro, hopefully trickling down to us) would be lower.

Damn.

Hit Target in Spring Hill, FL and somebody bought the two Serpentors...which got replaced by Snow Serpents.

*sigh*. Heading back to Philly tomorrow. Maybe I'll find something there.

I hope one day Super7 makes this line on multiple pegs at target fully stocked. I want to be able to walk in and see the whole wave and be able to chose the figures we want…
