Ok I know I cannot be the only person seeing 2 packs everywhere! It's like we get crap for single carded figures lately yet in all of the srores in my area (2 WalMArts, Target, TRU and Kmart) the 2 packs are really clogging the pegs. Collecting major dust! Hasbro seems to have no problem getting these out but where is everything else? I do think the 2 packs are very cool and a great price! You get rare figs plus a cool comic. But enogh is enough! They dont seem to sell well and maybe we need less of thos and more single cards?? What do ya all think?

I think there are a few reasons these peg warmers are all over the place:
1. Some characters are included in multiple packs (Snake Eyes, Cobra Commander, Storm Shadow, Duke). 2. A lot of the repaints are not very asthetically pleasing, IMHO. I know they are supposed to match the color of the characters based on the comic, but I must say, a purple Destro and mustard yellow Scarlett are not high up on my must-have list. 3. I think some collectors just don't want them. By that, I mean they only want single carded figures. I know I probably fall into this category. The only comic packs I have bought so far have been Tomax/Xamot and Torch/Ripper because those were some of my favs as a kid and you can't get them on single cards yet. Just my opinon on the matter.

I think it's the quality of figures. I have never seen the Twins or the Dreadnoks in the store. I have seen tons of the Hawk/Scarlet pack along with the CG/SF. The ones with good figures sell fast. The rest are peg warmers. The same goes for single carded. The main Target I go to has had the same 4 Buzzers for almost 6 months now.

what do you guys think the problem is?most other toy lines are usually updated at least every week or so,with the exception of star wars because of the big clone wars kick off on the 26th,that i can understand,but the joes are a very in demand product,especially singles!i just dont get it?
