Well, a stupid post probably demands a stupid answer.

as far as whats on the shelves now....
its 5 figures.
CC, duke and the trooper are repainted for the 5pk.
the bat is a 25th repaint. not a "resolute" per se.
the destro and stormshadow? okay.
shockwave and tunnel rat...there's nothing "resolute" about them except their appearance in the enclosed comic. otherwise, they look like 25th intended figures that were thrown into a "resolute" heading.
The point is that Hasbro has limited resources with which to produce and market figures, despite what some people like to think. Putting out a full "Resolute" line (and we already know more Resolute figures were planned) was something the RETAILERS didn't want. Instead they wanted a "cooling off" period to sell their backstock of 25th Anniversary product before the product that has a much larger media tie in that will be seen by far more people comes out. They don't need to compete with themselves for shelf space, and don't want to.
"Resolute" isn't increasing the Joe audience significantly, and it's not likely to convince someone that didn't already buy toys into suddenly buying them. If the retailers didn't want more Joe figures on their shelves...there isn't dick that Hasbro can do about it.
Wal-Mart's already no-doubt spending millions on the movie line...they have no interest in spending more money on the niche product that the 25th Anniversary line and Resolute represents. If Hasbro and the retailers can't even sell out the Resolute product that's already there, why should then invest in more of it?
