This is great for anyone that wanted these figs that they can now get ‘em on the cheap (though imho you’d probably be able to buy the entire wave for about $60 anyway, a la the Captain Marvel movie wave). But the kicker to me is that them jonks didn’t have a prayer at being successful due to the idiocy of both Hasbro and clueless big box buyers. Ramifications may not be immediately apparent, but, as an example, your LCBS that makes less than $2 profit per figure just got fucked for what could be a substantial amount of money to them, because who is gonna pay full price when they can get the same thing for $6 at Target. I imagine there may be a lesser effect on etailers like BBTS, EE, Dorkside, etc… though hopefully their buyers know the toy game enough to order appropriate quantities.

But whatever. It just amazes me that so-called professionals are this stupid.
