Then Now Forever Together Elite 4 Pack Found @ Target

From what I've seen it was about $130-$150 last night. After people got wind of the recall today two things happened, the ones selling for under $150 got sold and the ones that didn't got jacked up to $250 or more, and its only going to get worse. I hope people aren't paying that price just for the box design.

If I don’t get to update my Maivia, get a current Austin, or get that incredible Becky… so be it.

Do want them though. Eff that Hogan.

...that Hogan should have been in the Hogan 3-pack instead of "random blue trunks" Hogan...

I don’t think it’s the box people are paying for. I think it’s the concern it doesn’t re-hit shelves. I really want it myself but not the point where I would pay what it’s going for. It’s too bad I haven’t seen it on the floor anywhere.

Also question for former (or current) Target employees - when there’s a recall such as this, are they alerted daily and then go pull the items? Is there a different notice for safety recalls vs others? Or are they the same?

I know it's probably just for the box design but a big part of me wishes that they'd skip the "proper" design all together and rerelease the figures individually. I would rather pay 60 bucks for the Austin and Becky rather than 80 bucks for the lot of them, new packaging or not.

Just read all the back posts and yeah. This is just funny. I know I shouldn't laugh, but I am anyway. The speed with which the collectors changed their tune on this set the moment they were told they couldn't have it. It's insane. But isn't that the way it is, though? How many people even cared about Chief Jay Strongbow until his figure got pulled? How many people were really *really* jonesing for that Rising Sun RVD until it also got pulled? And I have to ask, how many people back in the day were screaming for an Al Snow 2-pack until IT was pulled and a huge deal made of it?

The way of collecting it, in its nature, collecting, and the fastest way to make someone want something is to tell them they can't have it. That's damn near human nature at this point, as shown by the way people will get super excited over chase figures or #/10 trading cards or whatever. Rare items make people excited.

I firmly believe, as bizarre as this is, someone messed up royally along the way to put these products out in the wrong packaging. No idea HOW that happened, but sometimes I get the idea that the two halves of the production squad here aren't paying much attention to each other. But I don't think this is really conspiracy worthy, nor do I think it's a scheme to drum up interest in a set that, as seen earlier, would have almost certainly been sent to clearance for the majority of its stock.

No, I don't believe this was intentional.
But god if it didn't have a hell of an effect on the interest in this set.

I literally just want the Hogan and the Big Green Belt from this set.

Oh and I fully respect that. I do. Like I said in another thread, I have a deep personal attachment to the Daffney/Stacy wedding gown match that I don't think anyone else could possibly understand and I want figures of everyone involved.

I was just more saying in general that out of the people who were screaming about his being pulled, how many of them specifically were wanting a Chief Jay Strongbow figure, how many of them were the type to collect any and all legends figures, and how many were just in the category of "I can't have it now I want it."

And that I wager there's a lot more people in that last set than there ever were the first.

Expect busted packages when it comes back. They just gonna re open take plastic sleeve out and put into correct box.

So, technically future packs of these, won't be truly moc unopened.

They not just gonna trash all these and make new ones lol
