Raving Toy Maniac

The Series 3 (or 2014 Series 1 depending on how you want to look at it) case packout just went up and it includes the first repack of Han Solo.

Personally I'm ok with the 3 figure wave, I'm sure it's a budget thing, but why repack Han Solo instead of doing 2 Storm Troopers? That seems like a no brainer to me.

That aside, I'm loving this line. So far the Sandtrooper is the only figure I don't have (just happier to have a couple regular Troopers), and I would've prefered any other Leia than the one we got, but so far those are the only shortcomings for my preferences. I'm even looking forward to the prequel Obi Wan because 1) it's Obi Wan, 2) Ewan McGregor did his best to not phone in his portrayal. Heck I'm even ok with a second version of Luke already.

Since they made a Dark Elf figure for the Marvel Universe line, the 3 3/4 size, will they ever make a Malekith figure for the line? or was it just a one wave Thor 2 line?

I have to admit he was a cool villain for the movie, and I was thinking, they made Kurse, why not the main bad guy?

Unfortunately, they jacked the price up on Aurora but here's the bunch:

Omega Red

Black Knight

Aurora

Nightcrawler

I hit my local TRU at lunch to check out what was new and noticed that the Call of Duty Mega Bloks Sets that were bumped up 10% last week, were bumped up another 10% this week. So while TRU keeps posting coupons for 15% or 20% off, it fails to even out the price bumps as they will continue through the holidays. Got something stashed or have been waiting to pick up something? Do it now or pay more later.

I was uncertain if Hasbro said they are doing 6 inch movie figures based off the new movie. I know they are making 4 inch versions of them. After seeing the trailer, I hope they make one. If not Hasbro, maybe Diamond Select Toys will make a Winter Soldier figure. Any help is appreciated.

I was hoping to contact him.

Does anyone know if th 2013 classic Hawkeye Marvel Legends is ever going to be released?

After watching a couple of episodes, I think these would be awesome figures. Their outfits look great. Also, I wouldn't mind figures of Dino Thunder.

They seem to be everywhere on line. Amazon is being fufilled by an on line store so there is a bump in the cost. Target.com says that they are not available, at least the wrecker isn't, on line but they are in stores. I have yet to see them there although I have seen them in comic stores.
Any one else have any sightings of this series?

So I've been out of the Joe game for awhile-- the last three figures I got were Renegades Storm Shadow, the exclusive red Jinx, and now Blind Master-all of whom I had to resort to ebay for. Jinx is the anomaly, seeing as how she was an exclusive, I assumed I'd have to pay markup to get her. But Storm Shadow and Blind Master were pretty much scalper bait, and I had to pay scalper prices to get them. I don't often pick up Joes these days, and when one or two do catch my eye, it's always a "better turn to ebay, I'll never find these at retail" situation. Is that what it's come to with G.I. Joe? Is Hasbro so incompetent with their case pack outs and scalpers are so ravenous that I have to pay double or triple for a figure to get it?

I'm just complaining about the price because I'm wondering if there's better options. I know most short-packed figures aren't offered as singles from e-tailers, but if anyone knows other places to get them for around $15 apiece it would sure beat the heck out of paying some scalper.
