So really no use complaining about it. The only way to get it to go away is to stop buying the figures in the line. Otherwise no point in arguing. It is simple economics driving the practice. A long long time ago there wasn't mold reuse just like there wasn't fees to use your ATM card. But then someone figured out a way to milk the cash cow for even more and wallah!

The real question is what is the next method they will use to increase the profit margin?

No one is saying mold reuse should end, in an ideal world(and much better economy), mold reuse would be less. What this thread is about isn't about ending mold reuse, but that it's simply too much. Bear in mind I collect GI Joe where mold reuse is a common thing, but not on the level of Marvel Universe.

Did I stop buying Marvel Universe the way I used to? Yes. I was a borderline completist with the beginning waves. Now? No.

Now hopefully 2011 will be different, most of the figures look great and the 2011 Captain America comic series looks fine and dandy sans action gimmick parts(but the US Agent shield and Bucky jetpack look cool).
