I thought the vintage reissue of the out dated mando couldn’t get worse….black series team, “hold my beer.”

What the hell are we celebrating?

So, Ned-B is peg warmin like a sumbich and the Purge Trooper was/is impossible to find. Therefore, Hasbro offers a SEVENTY-FIVE DOLLAR totally overpriced 2fer. Got it.

75 bux for TWO figures just because they sprayed a pearlescent coat on ‘em? C’mon hasbro. You can’t be this fucking stupid.

I can't even tell they have the carbonized effect on them lol

I know a lot of us have joked about crummy repaints just being a new paintjob slapped on all the excess stock the company couldn't sell normally, but seeing this, I'm starting to actually believe it...

Serpentor and Air Chariot only $4 more LOL.

Why not you know - TWO Purge Troopers to at least make it an expensive army builder set?

Who wants to army build NED-B, especially when the regular one is rotting away at Target and Walmart?

Packed overpriced junk they couldn't sell with something that would clearly sell.

I'm surprised they didn't include Reva instead of NED-B. Or maybe a Black History Month pack of pegwarmers Lando and Reva?

DAMn its almost like they set the cost to be overpriced expecting it be at clearance . the clearance price is closer to the true retail acceptable by ,from customer demand .
What also bugs me is manipulation of selling your product to a customer .sick of all the piggybacking of unwanted product with HArd to find characters. no seller ned packed with high demand troop builder .nah I just wont get either now .

Is anybody else picking up a weird, deeply cynical vibe, as if somebody behind the scenes is making these decisions deliberately to make fun of collectors and test just how stupid or pathetic we are? I'm reminded of satire on websites like The Onion...

I think they are just testing what they can get away with. When you back a haslab product, this is your reward

More like when you don't. Those failed projects meant no extra funds in the budget and endless repacks/repaints.
