Plain and simple. For people to expect anything else is just ridiculous. They don't owe anybody anything.

Personally, I'm good with the price increase. $5 more is not a deal-breaker for me. Now I will agree that buying in blindly into the sub is a bit of a leap of faith. Especially now with the price increase. There were a few figures during the 2012 sub that people were very upset about having to buy. Can't blame anyone for that. If the production schedule is already in place so far in advance, as ToyGuru has stated on numerous occasions, I don't see why they can't release the entire list of planned figures for sub. Yes, things may get switched around, but it's going to be minor changes. We don't need to see pics or prototypes or anything like that. Just a list will suffice. It would put a lot of people at ease and let them know exactly what their money is being spent on.

I think they keep the list back so that if they need a big grab for the next year's sub they move popular characters back and less popular characters up so that they know who to make the money from
