    I was going to complain about repeating so many Pokemon, but then I read the descriptions... 4 inch tall versions eh?? I don't see myself getting too many more in that size, but a Charmander is very tempting.

    Happy to see the Hoenn starters finally coming too!

    I'm excited about the figurine packs, assuming they're somewhat realistic figures like in the heroes line... and not those bobble-headed cartoony-looking people like that one April O'Neil figure they made with the giant noggin. I definitely need some civilians and the supply of new and interesting parts is intriguing.

    That listing still for the 15 figures has me wondering what you get. EE.com has never changed their price from $12.99. You can't even buy a four figure pack for that.

    I wonder if you get two figures and the pieces to make the fifteen different characters. Something like the Halo two packs.

    And, if that's the case, why not make them fifteen figure blind bag series like the Lego ones?

    There was a Kroger in GA that I went to that had them at $14.99 I don't know why.

    That's crazy. But then again K-Mart and pharmacies always overcharge on these. Walgreens sells blind bags for $3.99 or $4.99. Rite-Aid would have $15-20 sets for $25

    Kroger prices tend to run high.
    Agreed, it was her hair that was big, not her head.

    I think you're on to something. Based on the description, you have maybe two base bodies to accessorize with the character pieces, which means you'll have to buy multiples to build every character and keep them built, or use bodies from other sets.

    No, that one is perfectly acceptable.

    THIS is the one I'm hoping they don't emulate (from the TMNT blind bags w3):

    That one was geared toward the kids and based off the new TMNT. I doubt that'd be the style they go for.

    It's sad knowing the classic line failed, given how iconic it was just like He-Man.

    It didn't help MEGA had 5 different TMNT lines going at the same frickin time.

    There were so many more characters we could've gotten...

    The biggest letdown was not getting Ace Duck he was on the Turtle Van screen.

    I think the rock soldier tank and Ace Duck are the only images on printed pieces that we didn't get.

    New Customs too
