Also people who don't realize that prices have went up IN ALL TOYS just are not wanting to deal with reality. I remember 5-6 years ago when GI Joes were 5$, now they are 10$, Marvel Legends were 8$ in the past, now they are 15$ or more. MOTUC have went up 5$ in the last 5 years, that is LESS than most other toys on the market. Deal with it people.

that doesn't explain why they sell less and less each year. you cant blame the consumer for your shortcomings. the line itself is running its course at this point and nobody wants to pay in advance when the majority of figures that come out are NOT what people want. its not that ONE figure costs as much as it does, its that in order to get that one or two figures you want that year you have to buy into all the rest you have zero interest in.

add in a all the QC and distribution/shipping issues they have been having with digital river and you have people jumping ship left and right. the line it great, but due to things out of the consumers control it has become less and less worth the investment every year...that's just the reality of the situation.
