I was reading a recent thread, and it got me thinking. Many of us are frustrated on not being able to find single cards (E-Bay Bastards). Single cards, at the rate they're going will be $10.00 by Christmas and mostly are repaints and/or frankienjoes that most collectors aren't to happy with. Then we have the comic packs, at $10.00, the first wave were horrible repaints but after Wave three we've been getting great figures with new molds and even better "NEW characters". My question to you; would you rather have Hasbro continue with what we're getting? or Get rid of the singles and just give us two packs/comic packs?

I prefer single carded figures. Hasbro just needs to produce larger numbers.
I think the problem is growing pains. The line isn't even two years old yet and Hasbro clearly underestimated demand, so it's going to take a few more months before we start to see figures more readily available. Collecting Star Wars figures was identical to this back in 1995-96, so it's nothing new to those of us who have been collecting action figures for over a decade now. |

For a long time I liked the single cards. To me it's a price issue. Availability sucks, but I think everyone'd be content with the single cards if they weren't so expensive. $8 for one or $15 for 2 and 2 vehicles?
It defies logic. Hasbro needs to get a $1 off the price soon. |

single cards. increase the production (so everyone get theirs). no more repaint or re-issue. and finally wtf the price point factor.
sums it all up. and yeah, after attending SDCC and seeing all what's going on and what to expect. i think i have the right to complain. like FRAK!!

man this is a hard one as if they do just go with one or the other the price will go up . i like getting 2 figs for 10 bucks but i do love the single cards. but if the card art keeps going funskool way then i would just want comic packs.
as i am a moc and lose collector. Hasbro just need to stop with the fracking repaints for awhile. at lest 3 waves worth of new figs. i say keep them both as it wont matter what is done the price will go up. |
