BIONICLE Escalation: where are the impulse sets?!
Takametru007 posted a topic in Bionicle Discussion
I'm gonna go out on a limb, and say that there's no other topic like this yet. Is anyone concerned like I am about the ever-growing size of heroes as I am? I mean, the last regular heroes (from the "Brain Attack" line) were 9.99 USD, with the bigger heroes at 12.99 USD and the "XL" hero at 19.99 USD. The villains were of similar prices. Now, the REGULAR BIONICLE heroes are 14.99 USD, and the bigger ones are 19.99 USD! I tell you what: when I was a kid, it was hard enough to get 6 6.99 USD sets- it took us a good while before we got all 6 Original Toa. Now, the "impulse" sets are 9.99 USD! What happened? Why are the "little guys" so big now? Honestly, if their limbs only bent at the shoulder and wrist I wouldn't care too much if they were only about 3.99 USD like they used to be! Me and my bro's used to get the little guys first as stocking stuffers. And since all the Toa need them for is their weapon, then why couldn't they be cheaper? I'm not talking about the story here- I'm talking about BIONICLE Escalation. How much will the villains for the Toa be? They'll be upwards of 19.99 USD! At least when the heroes were smaller, the villains didn't have to be too much bigger. Now, the Toa are the Titans! That means Titans have to be their villains! Those spiders aren't any match for them- The Summer villains could very well be up to $50! Is anyone else worried? Even if they followed the old model, where the villain was priced as evenly as the hero, there would still be 3 19.99 USD villains for this year! Oh-My-G-O-S-H! Will they keep getting bigger? I'm scared! Honestly, I sometimes with they would go back to 9.99 heroes, and 3.99 impulse sets- They're getting too big! And expensive! About $115 for all 6 toa?! It used to be only about $70! If I was a kid now, I would be lucky if I got one of these new toa, let alone all 6! Is anyone else worried about this?
