$15 really isn't a good "entry" point for a product line. It works for a limited exclusive line like this, but it's not going to fly when Hasbro takes the line back to mass retail.
Those are very good points and your right: we are getting rereleases, very little new tooling, and bundled packaging to keep costs down. $15 for a two pack of figures and $20 for a 3 pack are great prices even if they are slightly higher than last year.
If Hasbro goes back to single carded figures for the next movie (which is almost guaranteed) we will likely see figures at $10- or more, easily if they remain super articulated. I don't expect less. I'm okay with that too. I'll pay more to get high quality figures. What I won't do is pay the same or more as I have been paying and get lower quality figures. This price point for single figures may not be for everyone, but in the current market its comparable to other lines. Will this price hurt sales for an already struggling brand or will the price simply be accepted? It's debatable and I can only speculate....
