In the spirit of Festivus...
There seem to be more this year.
- Rancor fail
- Excessive repaints
- Price increases, especially for "deluxe" figures
- Product management team at Hasbro
- Hard to find retailer exclusives and pre-order windows that last 90 seconds
We have gotten some really nice 6" figures this year, and its nice to see them going back in time to fill out things like Rogue One. We've received a few new 3.75" figures but not nearly enough. I'd really like to see them "world build / expression" out some of the secondary characters from The Mandalorian.
I do like the troop packs they've started releasing this year, and I'm really looking forward to finally receiving the Razor Crest.
One more - I've been filling my display and finally opening long stored vehicles and figures. One of my biggest pet peeves is when a figure's foot peg whole is too short or narrow to set on a stand. I can usually modify a stand by sanding the peg narrower and shorter with my Dremel tool, but foot peg wholes should never be too small. Luckily this happens less than 10% of the time, but its still annoying.
