We know that these are low production runs. We know that the metal rivets and t-hooks and silicone o-rings add to the cost, but these are simpler figures, with less articulation=fewer parts. These shouldn't be $7 more than a figure we can go to Walmart and buy now (heck, I complained $13 was too much for a 4" Joe). I don't speak for anyone but myself, but I don't need deluxe packaging. Try to get that cost down and you'll move more total figures. I'll still buy what I can, but I have to justify what I spend vs. other things.
I have confidence the Skystriker will fund, but the biggest complaint is that we just got a new 'striker just 10 years ago. For your next vehicle, aim for something that hasn't been seen since the vintage line, or something new. Lots of folks would like the WHALE, something only repainted once in the vintage line. I'd like a Mauler, which never saw a straight rerelease or resculpt the MOBAT so that it can seat multiple figures.
The WHALE would be sweet.
