Aside from unreasonable shipping, I have zero complaints about the matty subscriptions.

I'm done with this line, I've been done with them since January when I paid $38 for a figure I REALLY don't care about.
IF the line continues, I'll just cherry pick next year. Less than HALF of the figures are worthy of my money.

None of these figures have cost $15 at retail for several years. That's an extremely unreasonable standard to hold them to. They haven't been less than $20 at big box retailers like Target or Walmart for several years now, unless you find some store that's trying desparately to unload them. Even more at TRU.

In fact, when CIE began, they were CHEAPER THAN RETAIL, at $18. Add shipping for that year that brought them to around $25. In my book, that's an exceptionally great value, instead of driving around from store to store with desparate slim hopes they actually have the latest wave in stock, and waisting extremely expensive gas to do it.

Fast forward to now, the retail lines average $22. So $25 per figure isn't terribly unreasonable.

Digital river is obnoxiously ripping us off with shipping though. That much is solid truth, and I don't dispute that.
