I suspect Dakota Kai will be easy to find even at 1 per case. If Jimmy Hart were in Dakota's place, I bet he'd be a lot harder to find, especially at 1 per case. The problem always though with short packing in BAF sets is that people still need the part of they donāt need the figure it came with. Curtis Axel was impossible to find. Found one ever between 4 TRUs. Didnāt need him at all, but needed JRs torsoā¦ It makes zero sense to unevenly pack a BAF set. Itās almost as if Mattel likes people to have hard times finding things and/or paying double for them.

Does anyone have an image of that earthquake moc from the front? Here you go: Fun fact: John Tenta (Earthquake) was only 26 years old at the height of his WWF run.

I don't know if any of you guys collected DC Universe Classics, but trust me, the BAF situation could be worse in a Mattel line.
You can scare an old-timer superhero collector with one word: Giganta.

Only looking to get Big E and Yoko, so I'm glad they're packed more heavily than the ones I don't need.

Iām on the fence about this one. I only want Big E to match my Kofi. But I also kind of want Jimmy Hart, but I also already have the previous Jimmy Hart. This is a tough one.

I wonder, though, if those attires have too much artwork on them and would be too much deco for a build-a-figure. I really wish they would have went with his RR90 jacket, the blue and white Quebec jacket, it would have gone great with this new Canadian Earthquake figure.

In a situation like this, I often go with "Buy it now, sell it later if I decide I don't need it." You'd probably get close to breaking even on the figures you didn't want by flipping the BAF or even the previous Jimmy if you decide you only need one in your life. Also, judging by the comments here, I think there's a section of us who are worried about 1 Dakota per case and don't need the BAF, so we're a great market. (There's always money in the banana stand!)

That is a very weak set. I think Dakota Kai is the only one I āneed.ā Thatās a Big E attire from 2 years ago. Also, the earthquake and Yokozuna have been released multiple times for a flashback.

If those happen, that jimmy is a must.

Maybe targets exclusives save for the collectors edition in an elite wave, are only timed exclusives, and only rsc can sell them online only at a later date.
Not out of this world.

Careful, found a full case and the Earthquake figs are missing the details on the eyes. He just has solid white like Kane.
