The first thing we noticed was the wholesale prices have been increased. Ouch.
Ouch indeed. Get ready for ten dollar Joe figs. Last time, the Hasbro CEO himself admitted the movie figures were over-priced. Guess they're not learning from their mistake. I'll be especially angry if I have to pay extra for stupid over-sized spring-loaded launchers! Are most parents really going to shell out $10 for Joe movie figs when they are also available at Ross for $4?
That said, much as I hated the movie, I actually really liked most of the figures we got last go around. I hope they are at least as good this time, because after PoC, they better go all out if they want to impress us.
So, aside from the inevitable 5 versions of Snake Eyes, 4 versions of Storm Shadow and 12 versions of the Rock, what are you guys expecting from the movie figs? Since there is no real 'Joe Team' this time, I'm afraid we'll get endless variations on the same 5 or 6 characters. I hope at least they'll have a more real-world military look to them!

O-ring is better. There. I said it.
?! Scarily, they've had them for months at this price, and the number of figs left goes down every time I'm there. Maybe they'll finally get rid of them before the next movie arrives 
- I am looking forward to the new product.
