People also have to start realizing that when the economy goes bad a lot of times prices go up because in order for the companies to make a profit to offset lack of sales and they are forced to increase the prices. It's a catch-22 because the price increase could also hurt sales even further. Hasbro really doesn't have a choice at this point, though either. They are a business and need to make money. If it continues the only outcome would be the possible cancellation of the line.
example: stores like Walmart are doing well because stuff is cheaper. Higher end department stores aren't doing well. Target isn't doing all that well from what I've read either. edit: I highly doubt the Nano Viper is the Techno Viper. It has to do with the movie. I can't find the article I saw it in, but this mentions it: http://gijoe.wikia.com/wiki/Nano-Bomb

Some interesting ones in there...
GI JOE Single figures $7.88 65356944697 Single pack Charbroil 65356944698 Night Adder 65356944699 Red Fang Ninja 65356944700 Single Pack Kamakura 65356944701 Nano Viper 65356944824 Duke V4 65356944825 Single Pack Desert Viper 65356944826 Single pack Ripcord 65356944827 Storm Shadow GI JOE Vehicle Assortment $15.97 65356944078 Tiger Claw ATV L 65356944075 PLR SHRC Sub IC (Polar SHARC Submarine ?) 65356944076 Rockslide Desert 65356944077 Lava Pod Volcano Super Poseable Blog This is only $135 worth of goods (assuming you buy one of each). There's no way that HASBLOW wants to only milk us each for $135 a piece at the onset of the movie. I know there must be more. I know there's the preschool figs & the bobble heads. What about LARGE vehicles? Multipacks? etc...

I've never seen Joe prices that low at a KB. KB was always the most expensive place for toys when I was a kid. I'd get Joes for under $3 at TRU, Child World, and K-mart...KB was always higher.

Am I the only one who looks at that list and hopes all of the figures are in Modern Era style and not movie style? I know it won't be so, but for some reason I keep hoping.

Looks to me like a wave of junk. Unless some of the unknowns are cool, I will be passing them all (and I don't say that very often).

Those were the days. Now I see why my aunts and uncles and parents bought me everything. It was a buck. Plus they didn't put out wave after wave after wave. You got one new group a year and that was it.
