Because Hasbro wants to make a profit off of us. And so does Target/Wal Mart etc... Capitalism is fine and none of these companies are non-profit - I get that. However, if they really do jack Joes up to $9.99 price point as they want to? That's rediculous. So is the current $6.84 price at Wal Mart and $6.99 at Target. Just put them down to a reasonable price ($5.49) and make a profit over us. Hasbro just repaints crap anyway. Why do we have to keep paying for a repainted figure at the same cost as they'd charge for a new sculpted figure? We get ripped off in the end every time.
There would still be repacks because believe it or not.....people are that low and cheap.....
