That ship sailed quite a while ago. Pretty much all the bigger companies are guilty of this now (Hasbro, Mattel, McFarlane, etc).
They no longer offer discounts, at least regularly, on re-releases/repaints in multipacks. I guess they figured why bother anymore when they can just sell them at full price, or higher, and people will still buy?
I am fine with reuse, and even paying the same as before, as long as I see value in the offering. Something like the Viper three pack? No too expensive for what was offered. Not a good value, but once it dropped in price I thought it was a good value.
These new Mad Marauder reveals? I think they'll be a good value, depending on the final price. Mostly because they are both different, and come with a lot of accessories both new and old.
