For the price we're paying for the vehicle and the figure, I would expect more paint apps than this. It's a complete joke, and further proof that Hasbro simply does not give two $#!+s about this fandom.

They are using oil costs and increased toy safety standards to raise the prices and cut corners of every toy line they make.
Case in point. New Star Wars Clone Wars deluxe figures are $16, includes Revenge of the Sith releases that once retailed for $10 and a speeder bike with clone that just months ago was released in a battle pack with another bike and trooper for $20 (and can still be found some places for $22 to $25).
Of course, Star Wars is licensed. Hasbro owns GI JOE...but for some reason every 3 3/4"/4" figure they make has to retail for around $8 (even the ones they half-@$$, like the animated Wolverine and X-men line).
