so.. a good case could be made for hasbro just not knowing what they're doing and seriously don't understand their market.

... I hate defending Hasbro, lol, so it pains me to play devil's advocate for them ...
In Hasbro's defense, one of the few things they've done well over the past few years is give Marvel fans a great selection of characters from the comics.
But yeah, they haven't released nearly as many movie-based figures as most of us would have expected them to, given the immense popularity of the Marvel movies.
IMO they almost, just almost, got it right with GotG, where they did a wave that was predominantly movie figures, and then later released a box set of comic-based figures.
So, yeah, overall, they've been doing right by the comic fans, but disappointing those of you who prefer the movies.


But, as this is a Star Wars thread, I don't want to stray too far off topic, so here's what I found today :



I have too many far superior Vaders and Chewbaccas, as well as the TVC release of this Luke, so I passed on this assortment of re-packs.
