But straight re-issues like this one...? *bleh* Though it will be nice for those that missed on the boxed set there.

I don't mind either actually as well as the different Spider-Man's. Plus this is IM's first armor too.

How do you know that 6" figures are more profitable? I know the cost of labor has went up in China (which is probably a big part of the cost) but I'm sure the plastic (which the 6" figures use way more of) has to cost something. I feel like the brand manager says that the price point is way more sensitive, but if you don't produce that many 3.75" figures you don't take advantage of economies of scale (buying, selling, and producing in bulk) and the cost per unit increases (or decreases the more you make). I've went to the stores many times and have seen empty MU pegs with the gray dot (which I've heard means that the store has ordered more of them). I still stick to my argument that it's way easier for a parent to pay $10-$13 for a 3.75" toy than it is to pay $20+ for a 6" toy.

That's why Hasbro has started to move the plants away from China and into Vietnam and going into India soon because of China's labor costs going up.

Ouch...and this is why I'm glad I'm a MOSC with these guys :P
