That's really stupid about the "weighted" cases...to be honest Why can't they just make the same amount of everyone? Now collectors are going to have to scramble around stores trying to find the "1 per case" figures with EVERY set? And that means online retailers can just charge more for those packs because they are harder to find. That, to me, is a BIG mistake No. Wrong. Most companies do it that way. You pack the figures that will sell better more to a case. That's why there are more Iron Man, Spider-Man and Batman figures made as opposed to Guardian, Adam Warlock and Robotman. Also...these are not just for collectors. They are for everybody. I doubt Santino & Beth will be all that popular with, kids so that is probably one of the reasons it will be one per case. No offense...but even with some of their problems, I am sure that the largest toy company in the world knows a little more than you in regards to case packouts and such.  Really? So thats why there are 30 Marvel Legends Black Costume Spiderman's not just warming but melting pegs at every TRU but yet you can't find a Green Hulk or Thing anywhere? I dont think it's right for companies to produce less of one thing than another...it makes it more difficult for the consumer to find something they are looking for because some scalper grabs all the "rare" stuff first to oversell it on Ebay. 15 years ago, that tactic would be fine...but in today's world, everyone is trying to find the rare stuff to sell for twice what they paid. Bottom line...companies do projections and sales data to PREDICT what they think will sell more. Doesn't mean that everywhere will be the same. Maybe 300 people in New York City will want a Santino/Beth 2 pack and 100 will want HBK/Jericho but in Miami 250 people will want HBK/Jericho and 56 will want Santino/Beth. The easier way to do things is make everyone the same so this way there are no "favorites" because in truth you can't base everything on averages. I never claimed to know more than Mattell...I am just a consumer who frequents Toys 'R Us at least once per week and get a good idea of what people are buying. Most shelfwarmers are there because there are already multiple releases of particular figures that people don't find necessary to buy a 2nd. Not to mention in the wrestling world, one guy could be widely popular and get released a month after his figure hits shelves and kids won't care to want it anymore (Ex: Big Daddy V) That is something toy companies can NEVER predict. |

Marvel Legends Black Costume Spider-Man huh? The last one that was available was in the Marvel Legends Red Hulk wave, and that was a Target exclusive. Show me a picture of these 30 figures. There are always going to be exceptions, but overall there are characters who are packed more than others because they will sell. You are wrong. |

After looking at these lineups, I'm really excited for the line. I hope they're available from 1/1/10 for the UK also as I really wanna go to TRU on release date and buy a load. Will probably get as many as I can of the basic line, 2-packs, elite and the ppv line.

The Toys R Us near me is packed with Santino-Maria, Miz-Layla, Balls-Kelly Kelly and the Burchills two packs, but no other 2 packs from those Adrenaline waves.
Adrenaline was always packed out evenly per case.
So yeah I can see the logic in making Glamorella a short pack.
