Lobsterman Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I just read there will be five modern variants and four classic variants, and they're going to be individually packed. MSRP $5...for one. Is it pretty safe to assume that AA will complete the Unholy Trinity of Small Toymaker Desparation: 1. spike in prices 2. variants 3. blind packing (See also: Palisades, Army of Darkness wave 2). Here's a scary thought: what if they're testing the blind pack idea on BSG for feasibility with the DC mates, a la pretty much every other block figure out there? Just some paranoid speculation to brighten your Friday... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdyCarter Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Yeah its looking blind, theres nothing official but I'd reckon so.. DC have stated that they'll be blister packed 2 - Packs, so hopefulyl we're safe from Blindyness there, saying that though Street Fighter mates are blind packaged in Japan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 My retailer HATES blind packaging. It forces him to open them up before he can sell them. Hopefully DCD doesn't fall prey to this tactic, which is supposed to REDUCE prices, not increase them. ($5 each?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted September 15, 2006 Author Share Posted September 15, 2006 Yeah, I hope not, too. But, we already know about battle damaged variants for Supes and Bats. (Sniff sniff) Do I smell a "heat vision" variant, an Earth 2 variant and the super-special chase Kingdom Come variant? As distasteful as the idea is to us, it would make total sense to boost sales on these with a minimum of one variant/chase they could inexpensively tampo for every character they've shown...

Those variants are almost certainly going to happen, probably sooner than later. At least with blind boxing, you get through them quicker.

Cappy Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 OFF TOPIC: Hey Lobsterman! Welcome to the board. I didn't see that you introduced yourself over in the appropriate forum, so I'm gonna ask this here: Are you, by chance, in any way associated with a member long missing who went by the handle Crayfish?
