Well I will not focus on the negative, amazing pics. I for one loved the Vision and like the Marvel Now? Iron Man. I am always weary and hope another price increase is NOT coming. And so far this wave has been easy to find in stores.

Was hoping for that rumored 3 pack Spidey and Friends...but their is still SDCC for that. Also, maybe next year...wanted to hear about a Jim Lee Cyke...or a repainted Jim Lee Wolverine.

I don't know exactly how the math works out, but from what I've heard the plastic prices and all that stuff have balanced out to the point that making the larger figures is not all that much more costly than making the little figures, but they provide a bigger profit margin due to their higher price. So the retailers and manufacturers are starting to be all about the larger (6"+) figures again, while the 3.75"/4" offerings are starting to dwindle (particularly the highly articulated/accessorized types) because there's a much thinner profit margin at the $10-$12 price range they seem to hover at nowadays.
