people would be asking for it as well. At least this way we get another team complete.

Pretty sure this Rogue is the next Thunderbird. She's going to be on eBay for like $15 soon.

Wow this 2 pack is getting a ton of Dislike, I'm not sure what seems new about Hasbro's methods of releasing things,

It feels to me like two packs are becoming more common for figures that people really want. And then a tack on that people really didn't want. For example, how many people wanted Brood Wolverine? Another mediocre green Rogue? Next year, Psylocke is supposedly coming back . . . in a two pack. I don't believe Hasbro is deliberately trying to screw people (as I said above, they still have to make the less demanded figure). But I think they are misjudging demand and it makes people think they are paying 2x more for the figure they really want.

I hate to tell you guys, but Rogue was downright ugly when she first appeared. I mean a quick google search gave me this. and if they didn't give us this Rogue guess what? people would be asking for it as well. At least this way we get another team complete.

Wow this 2 pack is getting a ton of Dislike, I'm not sure what seems new about Hasbro's methods of releasing things, This 2 pack isn't anything different then Rogue & Pyro, Everyone needed a Pyro and not necessarily a new Rogue, that's just an example, and the price issue, well that's another story all together, also anyone saying this was a 2 pack because Destiny would be a pegwarmer is wild, Destiny is like a top spot holder on lists for wanted X-Men characters pretty much universally amongst Legend collectors, also really I've been seeing for years people asking for Brotherhood Rogue..why the change of heart?, Sure would this pack have been superior with an added Mystique, sure, but would it cost more yes...Prices have gone up, it's just the facts and they are not going to give you more for it, that's inflation, I still always want to remind people how much more expensive Legends are in Canada and other countries, and we rarely get a sale, we don;t have Ollies...Americans are so up in arms about prices and values, I get it, but really it's beating sort of a dead horse, we've been talking about this for years, and want to remind people just because you get a bare bones pack like this, you also get things like recently Strange & Wong & Bats for less then this pack just an example, and on the other side of the spectrum it's a Phoenix with a stand for far too much, it's never always a win, but it's not always a loss.

Polls and surveys really work since bots could easily mess with the results. Also Hasbro have been known to just make up the results to suit themselves.

Just a couple hours before the Empire Strikes Back 40th Anniversary Black Series poll they ran in 2019 ended, Lobot had a strong lead over Dagobah Luke. Luke was announced as the winner after the poll closed.

I'm pretty sure a multi-billion dollar corporation could figure out a way to overcome those issues. And if the execs are interfering, then we can simply add corrupt to the list of vices such as greed, incompetence, arrogance, and stupidity.

Oh they already did back in 2006 with Darth Revan

The Rogue would be better as a young, evil Rogue if she didn't look like she was in her late 40s.

But that's what she originally looked like

Hasbro is either too lazy, too stupid, or too arrogant (or some combination of the three) to simply do some polls or surveys and figure out what the fans actually want. They admit to guessing about what to do for Haslabs. Just incompetence all around. Incompetence and greed.

I feel like the only person Not upset by this set, lol. I want a Brotherhood Rogue, and Destiny has been on my short list of Must Haves for a long time, especially after Avalanche and the Blob update. I will agree it's barebones. We coulda used a "good" Rogue face for her early days on the team with this look. And she should always come with an ungloved hand and some power effects or alt arms woulda been nice. But overall 2 figures off my needs list for the price of, well....two figures.

We really should be demanding more from retro figures that cost the same as bafs, remember when they were 15? There should be an effects/accessory offset at least.
