DSTZach Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Not sure we're going to revisit this packaging design. It was originally concepted for Walgreens, I believe, but we're working on a new six-pack design that's more collector-friendly that would make this obsolete. So you may have to enjoy it as a one-off! Or two-off, counting NBX -- sorry I have no images of that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trekker 42 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Ahhhh so there’s more six packs coming along are there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 As a completist, I don't have a problem with six-packs. That said, it'll suck for army-building characters who only show up once per assortment. I'm currently putting together a team of Black Widows (thanks to Walgreens' clearance) and it's bad enough having spare Taskmasters laying around. I wouldn't need extra Red Guardians and Yelenas.

luke314pi Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021  I shot a quick video showing all sides of the packaging. We started shipping these yesterday, and we have a small amount left in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Very cool but it looks like quite a bit of air was shipped. That's not pallet-friendly packaging. If only it had come packaged with a motorcycle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not pallet-friendly packaging. Meaning we use more pallets than smaller packaging would have? Fair enough. If we were worried about extra space in our packaging, we would have retired the Select packaging a long time ago. (It's basically retired now, except for Marvel, Iron Giant and Zim.) And this packaging is now retired because it takes up a lot of shelf space and can't be hung on a peg. But if we REALLY wanted to save space, we'd ship everything in plastic bags.

It might mean less army-builders in six-packs, but perhaps exclusive army builders sets can be offered through other channels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buttheadsmate Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I wasn't sure where to post this news but my order for the NBX box set , directly placed with DST online, apparently shipped yesterday  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 (edited) Yes, the webstore warehouse finally got the NBX and Marvel SDCC sets. I believe they still have the G.I Joe and Transformers sets, and everything new up for pre-order. Now we just need to get Series 81 listed! Edited January 18, 2022 by DSTZach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I can see the FF sets have been listed @ $49.99 but the SDCC Marvel (Avengers) aren't there ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 That's weird, I'm not seeing them in inventory. Maybe they didn't get them in after all. The retailer warehouse got them in, so they should be at other retailers. I see them on Luke's site: Marvel Minimates at Luke's Toy Store (lukestoystore.com) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
