I really want alpine but I haven't seen any. I dont buy stuu from eBay or online in general so I'm also kind of pissed about this pack. I don't have marshalls locally so I guess I'm screwed. Unless somebody out there has one to sell to me

I saw it in jan this year, grabbed it then and never seen it since, glad I did now too as it appears to have been shorted nation wise.

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).

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 bought mine for about 35 bucks from a guy on Pisstank, and I haven't come to regret it yet because I have never seen one at retail to this day!

All right, I'll give you that point. Though as I recall, there was barely any wait between sets 3 & 4 and set 5 (for those that got it). But it's true that there was a few months' wait between sets 1 & 2 and 3 & 4.
