They’ve all been easy to find here. Enough so that I’ve got multiples of everyone,and have actually passed on a Maisie due to paint apps and package condition..still have one lose,and one of each card variant. Claire seems to be the hardest to find. I’ve only found 2 so far. Still need the all grey card to hang on the wall. Have one lose,and one carded with the blue corner. Gonna break down and buy her online soon. I fear her retail ship has sailed.
Lockwood battle Owen is my favorite Figure so far. Really wish they’d make one in that color scheme with the jacket w/o battle damage. I’m glad they’re making so many females but it looks like they’re not willing to ship more than 1 per case. So it’s an either/or situation with Claire and Maisie. And now Zia will mean the other two will be absent for a while. Her case asst is probably 1 Zia, 1 merc and 4 Owen variants. |

Most people can’t find a Claire or Maisie or Ellie and they certainly aren’t sticking around for long. I don’t think any of them need to be packed at more than 1 per case but when Mattel is making close to half of the unique characters female then there’s really no reason they can’t ship two of them in the same assortment. Especially when most cases end up being 4 Owens. I don’t think a case of 3x Owen and 1 each of Claire, Maisie and Wheatley would have collapsed the market.

Mattel obviously knows what they’re doing then. They very likely want to avoid getting stuck in a similar situation to Hasbro with all those unsold female SW characters clogging the shelves for years at a time.

There is such a thing as going too far in the other direction, though. And considering Hasbro's baffling decisions regarding case assortments and repacks, they may not be the best standard to hold to.

I don’t know much about Star Wars or their characters or case packs but I am certain you can’t put all female characters from all lines in the same boat. Look at a line like marvel legends...where most figures are all evenly packed. You have waves where the females are the most sought after and expensive figures and then waves where they sit on shelves longer. It’s a science that no one has really been able to perfect, IMO. I guess I’m just glad Mattel is making so many females even if the line ups for each wave so far has had me scratching my head (with the exception of the legacy humans as I think they did a decent job there). |

A Target I went to today had the Indoraptor (the super-articulated version with no electronics) on clearance for $9.98. A bunch of them, too. I've been on the fence about getting one, since it seems to be out of scale with everything else, but $9.98 is pretty persuasive.
Neither hide nor hair of Ian Malcolm yet, though.

Found Mercenary/Ankylosaurus and Zia today! Still no Ian Malcolm, though.

It's Sinoceratops? Pachyrhinosaurus? New Roarivore backorder for October on Amazon. Idk, but $15 later is better than $40 now I think.
