Ok, so I'm just going to ignore the fact that 5 years ago was the death of the original Marvel Legends line and no one was paying anything for them at retail. Even still, I think your math is wrong, unless ML cost you about $30 apiece now. Five years ago they were about $10 - 15 USD each, depending on where you shopped. At worst they're only double the price.

A couple things you should keep in mind: it's not just Marvel Legends and it's not just Hasbro. Things are tough all over.

Hasbro had no plans on a baf sentinel our any baf above 9 inches. Movie sentinels, nope, Nimrod, nope; where is my movie Storm, young Magneto and Xavier? Charge me SRP $20 dollars but no movie merch. They are finally releasing some promised figures, but nothing short of disappointment, a baf jubilee? How can a regular figure be a baf? The 20 bucks price increase was to insure my big baf? I get it, no Mattel = no competition = take this or else?

No wonder those Hasbro guys were quiet when we are so close to the xmen movie. I wish someone would all them what is up?

Without going into a bunch of detail, I will say this. X3 sucked and the toyline sucked with it. That made Hasbro gun-shy about doing any kind of toy line for an X-Men movie.

Hasbro's Marvel team also has a lot on their plates for this year, so something had to give and in the last few years, it's been X-Men.

There is no competition with Mattel because Mattel doesn't make Marvel toys.
