www.hasbrotoyshop.com has them too. When I saw them... I mean, I KNEW about them coming but... Anyway... I guess if you want an official looking packaging that makes certain figures stand out, that's the way to go for collectors. Waste of time but I'm sure it's just a carry over or something.

As for new characters, I believe Hasbro tried and they got might scared when the love/hate relationship was about 50/50. That's just a wild stab at those the fans accepted easily and those they hated. Allow me to sample these characters, hell, I might even do a poll later to see where the JD stood.

Crosshair. YEAH!
Link Talbot. BOO!
HiTech. Eh.
Hard Drive. BOO!
Major Barrage. YEAH!
Bombstrike. YEAH!
Coil Crusher. BOO!
Sand Viper. YEAH!
Sand Scorpion. Eh.
Razor Trooper. Eh.
Widescope. Uh, where's Shockwave? Why is this guy's head so small???
VenMax. BOO!
Hannibal. Meh.
Agent Faces. ???

That's just a random sampling and how people saw them from both here and JBL when they were first released. Honestly, I don't know how people felt towards the Venomized Troops. Horrible concept, so-so figures (really hit and miss, Outrider DOES like his Swamp Rats, y'know?), and then a few hits.
