Damn Youse, Hasbro!

What the fudge?! Here I am, collecting clone trooper and astromech droids from the various Star Wars 3¾” action figure lines and Hasbro magically decides to screw me on both! First came the Order 66 series which consist of two-packs containing one clone trooper and one other schmuck. Now comes the Droid Factory series which features two-packs consisting of [mostly] one astromech droid and some other guy.
Not only that, but the Droid Factory packs each come with one piece of the assassin droid C-3PX, which all but forces me to buy the complete sets instead of the individual droids, since it’s unlikely anyone is going to put up the C-3PX parts up on eBay for a reasonable price.
