"BigBadToyStore: ‎2 issues- Hasbro raised prices on all 3.75" figures on July 1, that has a small effect, the main issue is that Wave 1 had 2 sets of 5 per case, wave 2 has 1 set of 5 per case (with more old / unneeded figures instead) - so we have less viable product per case, higher cost per product and a need to recoup our investment on the case that can only come through selling the set of 5 - we are unsure how extra singles do as their past performance varies greatly

explains case price hike and BBTS is prolly equally bummed that those figures are shortpacked since that means more chances to just be sitting on a glut of old product.
