The Visitor, A.I.M and Vendetta are apparently being repacked in an Early Game Trio Mode set. Not sure whether there is demand for this, but they do make an attractive set.

Yeah, that set is all over stores in England. Great set, but I'm sure most collectors have those figures already.

Oh really, do you know what the retail price is on it? Just curious.

Maybe it's specific to the UK market, as haven't heard anyone in the States talking about it.

£30, which is pretty good as the initial figures were £15 each

Yeah, that's not bad. Were the Early Game Survival Kit figures scarcer in the UK? I'm still wondering why they might have wanted these repacked and re-released.

And is this trio set exclusive to a retailer? I can't seem to find it online (checked Smyths, The Entertainer, Amazon UK, Argos).

BTW, if you or anyone else here in the UK needs the five-figure Party Pack, I notice that Argos has it on half price now (£25 instead of £50).

Seen the set in Smyths, but they are very slow to update their site. Lots of sets on ebay too.
Argos are pretty decent for deals, it's best to check every day for flash sales. Sometimes they only last a few days.
I got the 5 figure set as you mentioned, the Ceackshot tower set for half price, battle bus 20% off etc. They also close out old figures for £4 on their ebay store but they sell out in minutes usually.

Forgot to say the survival sets weren't popular at all. Most of them are rotting pegs at deep clearance. Funny, as A.I.M. is one of my favourite figures on the line.

AIM never made it here as far as I know. I could only get them through Amazon and even then it was limited to 3 per house. The Visitor showed up at local Walmarts already clearanced for $5 last Christmas so I made an army out of them.

Yeah, the Survival price point was some bullshit; adding in like $5 for a couple crummy guns and them stupid-ass umbrellas nobody really cares about. Gimme some hoverboards already, dammit.

I collect them for their aesthetic, just like a lot of other 1:18 lines that may not stylistically mesh with either Joe or Marvel lines. I tend to think of them as potential offshoots or factions that can be used as mercenary groups.
