Price is killing me too. If I had decent income, naturally I wouldn't mind, but I'm almost always freakin broke. Toy collecting is about the worst hobby I could possibly be into. Coming to this site every day, constantly seeing more stuff I want sure isn't helping Glutton for punishment, ahoy!

I do the same for the most part. There've been exceptions (such as last year's SDCC exclusives, or the ML Sunfire) where my only reasonable option was HTS however.

Anyway, I didn't intend to derail the discussion from He-Man. It was just interesting to hear Mattel just threw the toys in a box with no care. Sounds a lot like HTS. It seems these companies would understand that collectors want their items to arrive as pristine as possible and do their best to allow for that. I certainly don't think we should have to splurge for AFA graded ones to get that treatment either.

BUT - Oh well! I suppose toy packaging isn't really worth getting too upset over in the grand scheme.
