The last time I bought Joes was when the last movie came out and the figures were up to around 10$ each for single carded figures.

The last ones I bought was the HEAT Viper/ Blowtorch 2 pack last year because the HEAT Viper was new. And by new, I mean it was going to be in the Retaliation line and the line dies and the HV got stuck in a 2 pack with a figure I already had. I bought 1 just to have the HV.

P.S. Joes were ALWAYS the best thing Hasbro made when it came to value. High articulation and tons of accessories in every figure. Great characters with a ton of variety in designs. I was hard core into joes for a long time (even during the neon colored spring loaded garbage of the 90's) but now Hasbro has just stopped caring about Joes. With no cartoon or movie to carry it, it is dead to them.
I want more than just repacks and repaints and call them "New"

TF's and Joes are Hasbros big cash cows...maybe MLP as well haha but yeah, sad that they're not focusing on making Joes for the fans, probably why I've seen a lot of Joe figures on ebay go for insane amount of $.
