As for hasbro saying this and that, I never trust that company to deliver the truth. I mean anyone think they will ever admit "Oops we screwed up." even when its obvious. In this case, they didn't ship these in a ratio that made sence and the first 4 warmed the pegs thus no demand (at the retail level) for the last set, the stores only know there are 5 sets and not what is in them, thus they don't react when all this comes down, the result is a mass of #5 that never made it to regular retail (and is showing up in stores like marshelles< I bet TJ Maxx is next as well). __________________ http://www.zedsjoesite.com Home Scale Wars updated Mon-Fri Every Week

Yeah, but weren't those were made from parts of waves of figures that were all released at the same time, like Star Wars' single carded build-a-droid (Not being a Star Wars completist, i've never complete any of those droids...mine are frankensteins).

That's why MASS device failed...you had to wait months...and some people are still waiting. It was a cool idea in theory, but a botched execution.

I found that pack way back in December at Wal-Mart of all places. It suffered from case assortments (more of the first two), and than being short packed.

Is for constructive criticism (will even settle for destructive) just anything but "Nice shot" or "Awesome".

Your best bet is just to try TJ Maxx, AJ Wright, or Marshalls. Or if you have a Tuesday Morning store I heard they had some too. These are all closeout stores so none of the regular stores will have any left. Build a piece items only work well when every piece is available. Then again all I want from the B-A-D Star Wars figures is the HK-47 droid! __________________ EBAY ALTERNATIVES
