Oh, it?s not just you. For being the ?biggest Star Wars fan? that?s every graced us with his presence, he acts like he hates Star Wars the most.
He also pretends like he doesn?t know ANY of the characters or story lines post Disney buyout. He?s a giant liar and someone who loves to say that he?s ?alpha? un-ironically. I would like the Blue Milk TVC book, but since he?s involved with it, I have a hard time giving him my money.

TVC, as the world-building scale, should have the BEST selection of any of the lines.
No they're that level. His petard is pretty high up there and he's hoisted firmly upon it. |

Honestly, I'd rather have the exlusives be the figures I won't be buying. Just like they do with Classified - I hated that they had Cobra Trooper and Beach Head as Target exclusives because I couldn't find them. I'm glad they switched to the Tiger and Python Patrol as exclusives as those aren't my preferred versions of those figures. I can wait for version I like.

Exclusives give stores an incentive to purchase more of the regular line of figures since customers will already be shopping there for that one item. The problem with this strategy is jacking up the price for no apparent reason, especially when the same type of exclusive is $1 or $2 more. My guess would be that it covers image licensing for the actors, but it's still a bit steep to do pay that much overand over again.

i dont think the latin culture is fully into the "x" thing in "latinx". i see comment sections go nuts when i read it online. "i dont like it!" "i use it!" "i am indifferent!" "im latino!" "im latina!" "no one ever says any of those things!" "i like bears!" "flouride is making the frogs gay!"

What's really shitting is that Hasbro says these exclusives are necessary because otherwise these figures wouldn't be made. So, they're telling me we need an exclusive retailer to get a headswapped repack and we get to pay a dollar more for it that everything else? If that's where they're at, then they should just scrap TVC altogether. Koska and Axe, again, both essentially head swapped repacks, need an exclusive retailer, but the 37 fucking troop builders that are diluting this line are fine for regular retail?
Nonsense. I'm glad I'm not a carded collector. I feel like a carded set would look pretty lame when 10 of the last 20 figures have been stormtrooper variants, and 20 of the last 30 have been clone or other trooper variants. So fucking lame! If I'm going to overpay for "deluxe" and exclusives, give me some fucking inquisitors or Black Krrsantan, or literally anything other than a repack or troop builder. Quote:
this is hasbro now. the boba fett tax, deluxe figures that arent and repainting stuff that's no good; and still, not a significant amount of people are saying "wait. this is not ok." instead, they get their unicorn panties all bunched up over plastic packaging. why arent you mad we still dont have the rebels crew in tvc? the whole mercenary group from mando season 1? where the hell is my cobb vanth? any version of a realistic cad bane? more ewoks? jawas? wookies? obviously hasbro doesnt care about this "98"; it's not going to be complete in your life time. bet on it.
I would like to say I'd support a Marvel or DC line with those prices or even higher if the quality, paint apps, and included accessories were on par with JoyToy or Bossfight figures. I'd likely phase out my DCIH collection with better figures, but I'd cherry pick a Marvel line because the MU figures were so good. |

I, for one need every dude bro with a lightsaber. I understand it takes all types, not I won't pay 15 for repacked troop builders with slightly different accessories

BAF is a scam. They force you to buy figures you otherwise wouldn't just to complete the BAF. They have tricked you into believing it's a great deal but in reality they get to move figure repaints that would otherwise get unsold. Plus, they already tried this before with the droid baf parts years ago.

The customer isn't so easily duped into thinking the BAF parts are a cost free addition. Each person can decide for themselves if the BAF is worth picking up the whole wave or not. Sometimes it's cheaper to buy the whole wave. I've seen ML BAFs sell for $150 on ebay when the whole wave might cost $120. The only "trick" might be when a character is released as both a BAF and as a single carded figure like ML King Pin and DC King Shark were. Fortunately they at least had different paint schemes to differentiate the releases. |
