And this will probably be the wave that finally shows up in my local stores. :(
Good points. And duke will probably be 3 to a case and jaye 1.

They purposely killed the Marvel Universe line. They did this by firing David Vonner who was in charge of the MU line, then they released a few waves of absolutely terrible figures with lots of head-scratching decisions, just so they could claim the scale didn't sell.
They have shifted almost all of their resources for StarWars towards the 6 inch line.
And now they are doing it to GiJoe. Its obvious they are only putting effort into the 6 inch line (regardless of whether you appreciate the decisions) and have allowed the retro line to be handled by somebody completely incompetent... it's entirely possible they aren't even allowing the retro designers to make decisions at all
Before this wave, I would have not bought into the idea that hasbro would intentionally try to kill their own brand, but this goes a long way in proving that theory.
