Not once did I mention discount chains, clearance prices, etc. Learn to read. I said RETAIL price. Duh.

What constitutes the "wow factor" 3000 figures into the line? What can they give us that we haven't seen before?
I know there's speculation it's all Disney, but I'm pretty certain it's not, and they've had zip to do with this.
Finalized 6 weeks ago, in the works for 18 months.
I think the reasoning is that Hasbro seems to want to shift collector focus to this larger scale line despite most collectors having sunk thousands of dollars into the 3.75" line and having no space nor desire for a new scale.
I think that with this move into the 6" figure line Hasbro might be trying to tap into a broader adult toy collector market, and not necessarily just Star Wars fans.
Is it that these types of figures are not profitable or just not as profitable as Hasbro desires?
I think it is valid... I've devoted my shelving space to 3.75" figures. Not 3.75" and now a set of 6" ones.
I'd probably buy Bossk... Not sure on RFT or Tarkin, but I'd buy Bossk for my Bossk focus and call it a day on any 6" figure "collection", per se.
I think the comments around "starting over" are based on building another lineup of duplicate characters from scratch.
Even if they stick to core characters, you're essentially starting over with Luke, Han, Leia, Darth, etc. Most of us just don't have the space to go that route en masse without displacing some of your existing collection.
