This isn't a size issue. If they were priced lower, these would probably sell well. Clearly, people are avoiding them because of the price. Lately, with many of the price increases, a lot of the lightning collection is sitting around. Ninjetti were overpriced and are starting to fill the shelves at TRU. ZAP Megazords are also easy to find. I'm also seeing wave 13 fully in stock at most Gamestop's in my area.
I understand why Black Series light sabers are so much, they feel really high quality. The Power weapons are decent, but the quality feels kind of meh.

It's become a problem across all of Hasbro's brands for roleplay items.
Lightsabers are the worst offenders. "Clearance" now seems to be $150 and up. Average pricing is close to $300 and don't get me started on the Darksaber. I haven't picked one up since the first, all plastic versions a couple years ago.
Marvel Legends is the same. I remember the first releases of their roleplay items were $150 or less, and then with sales and clearance I was able to grab a lot of things for under $100. Now the starting price is $150 and up. And $150 is absolutely rare unless it is a small item. More so the average starting price for helmets is closer to $200. I recently picked up Spiderman's helmet and the Iron Gauntlet on sale for around $110 each, and I thought that was a deal.
I was at a local TRU yesterday and they had the sword on red tag "clearance" for $275??!!!?? What a @#$%ing joke.
So I don't think it is just PR that is suffering from price inflation, but rather all of Hasbro's brands have gotten out of hand with pricing on roleplay stuff.
