Every toy line produces new stuff as they go and grow and with the popularity of MU at the time they pulled the rug out from under us there is no way they were operating at a loss.

I mean the prices went up by over 25% of the original asking price...

No, I'm also looking at what's going on over where the factories are as to why costs increased across the board. It wasn't only the Marvel lines that hit price hikes. It happened across the board on a lot of lines, not even only Hasbro. Cost of production itself has been fluctuating as different areas have been hitting different issues.

I wasn't saying they were operating at a loss. That's not smart business if they were. Though that also gets into other complicated details that aren't public.

It's kind of obvious imo at this point.

I just mentioned this to give you guys a heads up to pick up the Old Man Logan MU before it gets more expensive.

Yeah, and it'll potentially have either X-23 or Gabby in it too. Seems to be AU though, more towards what Deadpool was like and will have a lot of changes from the original story. Potentially some of what'll be in the movie is going to be in the July issue of All-New Wolverine. Issue 10 I think.
