Yeah, I wasn't looking forward to seeing Cyber junking up every peg at Gamestop from here to Timbuktu, so this is a plus.

Anyway, when box sets are good, people complain about scalper bots and Hasbro making "core" characters an exclusive. When box sets are bad, people complain that the set is junk, lazy, and overpriced.

There's no winning for Hasbro here, but I'd take a box set everyone hates over the lamest possible X-wave ever with these guys anyday.
