What I am not a fan of is the inconsistent use of pin-less joints. I think the new longshot looks great (except the weird shoulders) then I open Avalanche and he feels like a cheap after thought... The pins are all there and visible and it really grinds my gears that almost every wave now is about 50/50 pin-less/pinned.

These are brand new designs and Hasbro thought "Don't worry about the arms we did pin-less legs so they should be happy!"

"But Boss what about Yondu?"

"Screw the comic book guys we haven't tooled anything new for them in ages"

Blankly stares at Vulcan and returns to putting those gloriuos pins back in place...

While I like the pinless look better in most cases, 99% of the Legends I already own have pins, and I'm never going to and would never go back to replace all of them with pinless versions. It's never going to be that important to me. Like I think the new Avalanche kind of sucks, too, but it's not because of the pins, it's because he has only one terrible boring head sculpt and no effect pieces while for the same price in the same wave there's also Spiral. Adding accessories and optional parts to a figure to me does way more aesthetically and adds way way more value for your buck than pinless joints ever could.

But, I do agree if they're going to push the price tag to $30 and up then they have to stick to pinless and do it across the board. If Hasbro is going to charge you for it, then they need to deliver it.
