Yeah, I saw Jared's post and a few others around the net, which all seemed to say the clamshells were squished (those are the "initial reports" I was referring).
Whoops, glanced right past that part...
Funny, but your "wacky" friend there is doing something that I've been somewhat contemplating myself... A third set - only carded without the clamshell. But yeah, that would mean I'm even more of a freak than I already am, and that's somewhat disconcerting, so I'm trying to avoid that thought at all costs...
Hell, if these were coming in at standard figure prices in the $5 range, I'd probably be getting 4 or 5 of each, like usual... (carded, loose, diorama, custom fodder...)
And that's not even counting the army building ones.
Hopefully Hasbro wisely recards these 12 figures into the standard OTC line (or other future line) at some point, so we can get a few extras of them for quite a bit cheaper later on down the road...
