Totally agreed. Multi-packs in which one of the figures has already seen a single release are just annoying. Any change, ANY change to the re-used figure would make it worthwhile, but it is obnoxious to end up buying the EXACT SAME FIGURE twice.

Since there is that lime-green RPM Sideways repaint "Wreckloose" coming out, this would have been a nice chance to do a full-fledged deluxe version of that character (and his gaudy coloring would actually work great with the "Super Tuner" name). Or use it to preserve another about-to-expire Hasbro trademark... surely there have got to be a few of those lying around, right? White version as Runamuck, maybe? ANYTHING. Heck, even slapping some different detailing on him and still calling him Sideways would have been preferable.

Damn I thought these have been found already. I just saw a ton over at my Walmart. NY is usually last to get new stuff.

You want BOTH Hoist & G1 Mixmaster, but only, if they sell them separately? WTF? Just buy the set, unless you mean you have no TRU to go to and you hope they sale them as a wider release later.... then, I think you're probably S.O.L.
