The last mass retail wave we had with them was 9.99 for the single packs for Retaliation.
There were no single packs after that and only came in two packs as exclusives to TRU and various websites.
All the two packs have been around $15 since then.
>$30-40 for club exclusivesThis shit doesn't count. You might as well be arguing that Star Wars Black series cost $60 because of convention exclusives like Thrawn.
>I mean they must be doing good if they're going backwards in time with articulation?I'm not sure where you're going with this, because it sure as hell isn't about anything i addressed.
As for the shitty 5PoA Star Wars line, that was seperate from their collector friendly articulated line which was continued as a WalMart line for ~$10.
>That budget sculpting on Shooter. There is no such thing as budget sculpting. There's a lot of bad sculpts everywhere and even import lines continue to charge arms and a leg for shitty sculpts. So this means nothing.
>They had to downgrade GI Joe several times just to get each wave of 50th on the shelves. Yeah, and? It was a limited release line. They were basically only releasing shit that was already planned and had sculpts already, which is how the GI Joe line had been since wave 2 of the 25th line reused the same shit over and over.
NOTHING you have said disproves the FACT of how much packaging costs though, which is all my post is about.
