"I overheard a conversation at one of the cons a few years back between Brian and someone I didn't recognize and he stated that he had not broken even on a lot of the toys due to not selling through."

At a lower price point, maybe they would have sold through. I don't have a problem with the initial pricing, but after a year or so, you need to mark things down or work out a promo so as the seller, you're not married to the item and some collector's can get a deal on exclusives that may not be current any more.
