Pricing is a big issue for me, but I am not sure whether it is Hasbro or the retail stores that should have more of my anger...

Repaints are also a big gripe of mine, they did not need to repaint every figure back through G1 to G2, and even Beast Wars only had a repaint here and there, so why do they now need to release 3 repaints of almost every figure they make? Shouldn't technology have made making moulds cheaper? (even though they are vastly more detailed than their G1 counterparts)
