I just saw these today at Walmart.
At $10 each, I'd briefly entertain buying the full set of 5. (Clone cash coupons, thank you)
At $17 each, I left them all.
Who the hell made the figure selections for these sets? Anakin looks terrible, the SBD looks terrible, the Grievous was corrected by Legacy's version last year yet they used the old 2005 version, I didn't need another EU Boba Fett, I really didn't care for any of the droids.
The 1 figure I wanted: Corran Horn. Why? Well, gee whiz, because it's new and I don't have it yet.
If I'm going to pay $17 each for a 2 pack, it sure as hell better be army builders I want or new figures.
But instead Hasbro just regurgitated a lot of junk into these and sold them for top dollar.
It makes no sense.
Now, I want the Darktrooper. It's a new mold, and we'll see it again. Probably more than once. So I'll pick it up at that point. I'm not spending $85 on junk to get it, and if it turns out the Darktrooper is never released, I'll attach $85 in cash to a REAL stand and put it next to the previous version of the Darktrooper on my shelf.
Because this is insanity.
$85 can get you this:
