It's not articulation since the Secret Wars line is 5 POA like Star Wars. G.I. Joe and Secret Wars Jumbos were already a little more expensive than Star Wars before this price hike to account for lower demand I assume. I wonder if the next Star Wars figures to be announced will have a price hike also.

My suspicion is that there is some cost impact occuring or did occur, during that "production period". Star Wars might have missed that impact by being done sooner (though, wouldn't surprise me if the next batch were more expensive)

Yeah, the new price point makes it very doubtful I'll buy any, unless they get to a handful of specific ones (Maybe a BAT, Crimson Guard, OR IG Destro). I'd rather get a decent carded vintage figure, or a bunch of loose figures, than one of these.

I really like the Stalker figure...but those damn straight arms. Nope, can't do it.
And how did he ever get that beret on in the first place? |

Gladly there aren't many Star Wars characters that I still want so if I have to bail out on the line it's no problem. 40 of these things starts to be a bit intrusive anyway. I may have to bail on Secret Wars and Joes before I even get going though. I really wanted that Hobgoblin too. I won't cancel my pre order's yet but I'm leaning heavily towards it.
