I love the figs but I would have waited for the retail releases if I thought there was a chance at retail. But at the extremely high retail price they had it I was under the impression it would never happen. How could they ask $50 a figure, then a month later start offering the same figs for $15, and not make people feel deceived?

I guess you are paying for the packaging and its a way to get the figures to people who missed out. I am glad they are releasing them. We need the SDCC set that started this line to get a single card release. It helps with second hand prices also. Look at what BBTS is selling the Power-Con set for, like 400 bucks. Sometimes BBTS act like scalpers themselves. It's just total bonkers what has been happening with this community from MOTU Origins to NECA TMNT to GI Joe. People can only put up with so much, this hobby should be super fun, not super stressful. I hate exclusives now, they don't need them anymore for conventions or anything else I guess.
