Oh no, Hasbro would/will cite limited collector interest and lower production runs to justify the high price. And I mean, if GOA rehashes are 10 bucks a pop, why shouldn't brand-new sculpts cost more?
All that said, if I were in charge I would do 12 waves of 12 figures each to cover each of the movies (though Clone Wars would cover the whole series.) Essential characters for prequels and sequels, and missed opportunities for the OT.
It begs the question, what kind of packaging? If it is Vintage, why not stick these in TVC waves to help abate costs of new highly-articulated figures? Oh the mind reels at the possibilities...
(Have to get the speculating fun done before Hasbro pops my balloon tomorrow...) uh
