In the news all the weekend just gone, as
there was a major competition in the US (New York?) with millions in prizes - I
shelfied these in the Works, where the full range (including the 'really
rare's) all seem to be on clearance, I don't know what they cost first time
round, but they weren't cheap enough for me to 'invest'!
Five-packs, I think I've seen two different
ones, but in different stores! Figures are about 75/80mm, I'm not farty enough
to get the tape-measure out in a discount store . . . although as I don't carry
a tape-measure that would be hard to do, even if I was farty-enough!
Two-packs are more affordable, yet more
expensive at £2.50 per figure against the two-quid of the five-packs. I know
nothing about Fortnight, but have seen various references of it in the media to
know it's one of the big games (online?) at the moment, and presumably these
are the better-known thirty-six or favourite download characters/'skins'?
The single 'blind-bags' which aren't, are
the most expensive way to purchase them, but the easiest way to fill-gaps,
clearly the marketing model is for you to purchase the five-lots, then the
pairs, then finish off with the singles, but - if you are tempted - I'd look
for the 'rarest' first wherever they are (one is in a twin-pack), as they will
be in smaller quantities, then grab the commoner ones later!
The whole set; the image embiggens to
reasonably large - but a bit blurry - if you click on it! Epic-PMI/Kids Works-Sinco Creations, that's how it is these-days,
with this stuff; licenses within licenses!
A word of warning though, if you are
tempted, but are also an ethical buyer, these may be made in china and licenced
to various intermediates, but ultimate profit channels-back to an Israeli firm.
