Yeah. That is a strange move.

First, let me say that I get it, I know Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. is not a big company, and higher cost for smaller run and all that stuff, so their prices are higher, but as far as I can tell, their quality makes the price worth it.

I also get why Lego and Mega Bloks do it. Blind bag figures are "low cost" so you want the kids to buy multiples. That's why I always appreciate Mega Bloks for giving us codes in the back, so the collectors that do a little research can get exactly what they wanted, and army build if they wanted, while the kids will keep buying multiples and wonder why they're never lucky enough to find the "rare" ones. (hee hee.)

But Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. are geared toward collectors. Making them blind bags only serves to discourage collectors from even trying to collect them. I want an army of Anubis, but I certainly am not willing to buy multiple of these high price blind bags and end up with multiple man-crabs. It'll be interesting to see the comparison of extra sale they generate from people buying multiples in order to get the set, vs the sales they lost from people who decided not to even try!
