Inane ramblings, vague generalities, and otherwise dorkish behavior.
"Dear WizKids...": Concerning "Mass Market" Product.
With WizKids pushing the release dates for the BATMAN set out, I figured I could now buy at least some of the DARK KNIGHT RISES stuff. Decided to drop by a local Target store, see if they had any of the "Mass Market" DKR "primer/'gravity feed'", and they did. These were the pieces with the set numbering from #201 to #210.
The good news: there were 19 packs left in the drop box.
The bad news: every single one had been split open.
Bought them all anyway. All of figure #201 -- Batman -- were gone. So, right now I have a full set of these except for #201 Batman, and duplicates of what I wanted dupes of, and a few to give away.
But, WizKids, please, the "Mass Market" release seem really prone to vandalism/neckbeard cherry-picking.
Is there another way?? Personally, I liked the 3-figure non-blind "Classics" packaging. If you're wanting a presence in the mass market retail, maybe you could still introduce original clix this way (no reprints)?
