Sorry, no. I have no interest in playing that game to save a few dollars on a set that's not that great to begin with, hence why it's gone to Ross.

I used to have luck with transformers at Ross (like ten years ago) but never Star wars.

The only store I regularly check anymore is Game Stop

That's where YMMV. Where I live there are many collectors and resellers so finding something at Ross, even if you go daily, is extremely difficult. You add up the time and gas and the savings aren't worth it.

TBH, they couldn't give this set away for free now that the mold is totally out of date and rendered obsolete with the new one. In fact, they would have to pay me to even take it.

I'd rather save those funds and put it towards more of the newest 4pk!
Speaking of which I just bought two more 501 sets from Disney Store with 25% off, you can't beat $10.31 per figure!
And sure, one of them is a wash and has to be offloaded but the other three are great!

I remember buying this set for around $40 during a sale, and now it feels pretty worthless. I regret wasting money on it, as I never opened it, and probably can't even rehome the damn thing, lol. Totally soured me to clones and exclusive multipacks to be honest.

They finally made a definitive Clone so these sort of packs WOULD be worth it to make - but they've not made any since the 212th pack last year. Probably a bit scared considering how poorly THIS set sold. But imo that's mostly because they're bad figures, not undesirable characters.

Yeah nothing against the characters, well other than Rex, didn't really need another of him so I'd have been keen on some other backgrounder but I do see why he was included as the "anchor" of the set. Even among Clones there has to be a "widely known" character.

Whether or not they have soured on multipacks is questionable as we got the Ahsoka w/Droids set as well as the Mando 4-pk. I hope the latter does well enough to support more just like it getting greenlit. Clones do still have appeal, but the tiniest mistakes can affect their performance. Hence the 212th set's helmets as well as possibly having Waxer instead of four all the same. Or maybe people aren't as into that Battalion as they are the 501st.

Of course, the real issue was people were after CF99 not the secondaries, so it did rub some the wrong way. If they do yet another BB character that is not any of CF99 I feel it will greatly upset fans. Mayday isn't likely due to what's need for him, but a couple others seem very plausible.

CF99 debuted 6 years ago in TCW7, we're three seasons of a spinoff show further and still nothing other than Hunter. At this point, only the other OG Batchers should be considered first, before even adding Omega or Rampart and the like
