I love math and I hate to see it misused. That 34% increase sounds like a lot and it justifies increasing the prices. Really? So if it costs to manufacture each figure is $5 in China that means that a 34% increase results in a cost per figure of $6.7. There was a huge mark up on these figures before and that mark up just got way higher. Because they pretty much applied the percentage increase in costs to the sales price. The percentage increase in the sales price of the Nighstalkers went up by 26.2%. So what I would like for them to tell us what an increase of the sales price of each figure of $5.67 translates into the cost per figure as a percentage.

you know what? I need to say this - any of you familiar with Four Horsemen Studios, and their 6" Mythic Legion lines? Well, yours truly is the one to deal with the factories for every aspect of production, from costing, to tooling, to production and QC. Our 6" figures with a TON of paint detail go for $35. Granted there is no licensing fee, but really....... $35. Price to the consumer, not the price we pay to get it made. Tooling is a huge chunk of change, but again, 6" figure. Super articulated. $35. Our quantities are not that high like big companies, but we do some nice numbers nonetheless. I would LOVE to know the quantities Savage is getting, because he simply must be getting ripped off - oh, or he is just making a killer profit. I wonder which?

Are they trustworthy? People waited in line at a Con only to be told that Con Crazylegs was “sold out”. Now he’s in the Club Store at a high price. Doesn’t that speak volumes to their “word”?

You mean the overpriced version that looks NOTHING like Crazy Legs? Yeah, I'd never buy one. I slapped a ROC Ice Storm head on an MTF build and ended up with a far better version. Just saying.

Very expressive set... I will have to stick just with Super 7 Masters of the Universe on the meantime...

I wanted exactly one figure from this final mess of a "set." Had they been priced at $50 individually, I might have bitten that bullet and called it a day. But it's paired with something that has zero value to me, and will hold next to no resale or trade value in the future because the ratio of folks that want a Viper compared to those that want a Dodger is super-skewed in favor of the Viper. So it's one figure for $100 (plus shipping!) and a "free" reminder of FunPube's final "gift" to the "community." No thanks. I've paid more than $100 a figure before. I've helped finance plenty other Joe fans' vacations since I don't go to the cons myself. But... yeah, no. Don't let the door hit you on the way out, Savage. Your sycophants might miss you and your little Stockholm circus when you're gone, but you're a fucking cancer that should have been cut out years ago. On the off chance that anyone ends up with an extra Viper, I've got plenty of stuff to trade. If I miss out, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |

People traveled and were in attendance at a Con and were told that figure was sold out. That was a bold face lie.

These aren't worth a price over $8 each. Sorry, but loud colored/neon repaints of molds that's been around for the last eight years don't warrant a high selling price or being considered collector's items.
Is Hasbro going to just spill the beans sometime over the next year if the G.I. Joe action figure brand is dead or plans to revive it. I'm sorry to sound this way; but, I used to post here regularly and over the past two years there's been nothing to get excited about and these just look like a ripoff to me.
