Some of the figures we are getting (repaints) are cool figures ;)
I would pay if it was well done.

I agree, prices go up no matter what. Even if the 25th figures were the original molds, do you really believe they still be 2.99 or 3.99 like they were in the 80's?

Thats foolish thinking, nothing is the same price it was back then, not even fast-food. I would gladly purchase the Con-set if it were 25th style, no matter the price. However if they make the con-set from the O-ring molds, which they are most likely to do, I will not be purchasing them... I can not fathom the idea of spending more than $2 on ANY o-ring figure, no matter how cool he is. All the o-ring guys I buy are from my local 2nd hand GI Joe store and the most I pay for a figure is 3.00 and it has to be a damn good figure.

Ok. You GOT me on that one, absolutely. Good call.
