That's why I just glued mine together in places they wouldn't hold

In case anyone stopped looking; the Tomahawk and Mean Dog are out.
I don't know what store(s) or how much. I have yet to find them myself. But someone in Florida posted them on FB last week.

I've picked up one of everything either in-store or online, here's some of my thoughts:
Fang's nose-gun was oversized so it didn't put on, I glued it on since it's just for display Spped Cycle was missing Snake-Eyes even though there was no sign the box was opened Snowcat's turret components were very loose like the Fang's, I glued several of them The Ninja 4x4 fits the figure inside but the canopy's design is very difficult to get it to stay togther I didn't have overly loose parts on the Surveillance set, the HISS, the Jets 2 pk, the Skystriker, or the Ferret Storm Shawdow's grey not white The Rattler's the only one I haven't opened yet There's one set that was missing instructions but FC promptly sent me the .pdf SE doesn't sit on the bike, the pilots don't fit in the jets The Surveillance set is the nicest, the figures fit in or on the vehicles You've got to move the Fang's handles outside of where the instructions shows to get CC to fit, the blades don't twirl You've got the classic painting on the box so even if you don't put them together they're still nice to display for the price |

You're probably right. Lego has a lot of patents on their material which makes their sets more expensive than a lot of these smaller brands. The Lego Optimus Prime is 170$ currently.

Lego won't make war toys. Company policy. Except apparently STAR Wars are fine. But you'll never see military stuff from Lego.
I'd rather see Mega Construx handle the Joe brand. Super-poseable figures with removeable gear. And solid builds (they've come a long way in the last decade or so) using interesting (ie "camo") patterns in their bricks. |

That's why I think KREO existed, it would have worked out nicely for Hasbro to license out genuine Legos but they often won't do modern weapons so Hasbro produced it themselves

Man the quality of these seems to vary wildly from box to box even from the same vehicle. My Storm Shadow was actually white.

I saw the Tomahawk and the Mean Dog at Ollie's when I stopped in to kill a little time, a few days ago. $15.99 price.
