4. Now, Hasbro wants us to buy a 4-pack for $20 for three figures that most already have and one figure they don't. Who are the sheisters that come up with this stuff!? So, we have to pay $20 for Maz. I will wait and get here from a broken set on Ebay.

Not only that, Hasbro should know by now, after 30+ years, that collectors make up a significant part of their Star Wars market and collectors prefer to have single card, MOC figures for their collection. We have been getting a lot of 2+ packs for this new movie. So frustrating.

1. Some don't. I know I don't, and this set is perfect for me except for not having light sabers. (Many do wait for holidays.)

4. A set with the most sought after characters of the line? And it has two female figures in it? The characters everyone wants? Yeah, I wonder why they did that. I mean it's not like they were the stars of the movie or anything...

You also forgot one key thing about your star wars toys sales data.
Except in movie years and surrounding years. The general public buys more merchandise than collectors especially in those years. Which is what we're in right now.

Media pushes merchandise at higher volume than collectors could ever match. So the toons and the movies and their characters and headline roles take priority. Hence this set. And it'll do really well on shelves too, especially with the holiday season and dvd release when the merchandise will have a heavy appeal among all audiences.

Hasbro knows what they are doing.
