Hasbro's G.I. Joe 40th Anniversary Live-Stream Coverage

Lucky me then. I picked 4 sets up during deal days for $47 each.

Even the $52 is more than I'm willing to pay for these, even though I think I paid nearly that for just one of the Cobra Island Viper on the secondary market. If they weren't in that horrible windowless packaging then I might reconsider. I prefer to display in packaging, rather than open. These would probably have to get down to around $35 before I'd bite.

Even with extra accessories it was a bad move to charge more for a 3-pack than 3 individual figures, that just flies in the face of everything the general consumer market has become accustomed to. I can ALMOST understand not giving a good discount but charging more was and is terrible. I've been working in business relating to consumer sales at a level where I can set prices for years and I would never sell a 3-pack of something for the same price or more than a single, even if it came with extras - the whole point is to get the consumer excited so they buy MORE at once which is better in every way it makes more money up front and saves you on shipping costs too which is huge in a market where many orders are just 1 item at a time (I sell thousands of items every month and you may or may not be shocked to know that 90% of them are 1 single item and sometimes they even choose to pay $9 priority shipping for a $5 item).

Also the paint jobs on the 3-pack Vipers is more muted than the 1-pack release, the red doesn't pop as much.

Once upon a time, 2-packs were cheaper than buying single figs. Now they're almost $10-$20 MORE, espcially Hasbro. It makes no sense at all, hence why they drop in price quick.

Regarding this 3-pack, there has been a lot of QC issues with (mismatching skin tones) and so here in the UK one online retailer, knocked the price down to $28.

I want the Viper 3-pack, but I'm going to hold off and see if it's discounted even more than the $75.99.

They both look good.???
