Star Wars battle packs inflation.

Battle packs... Hmmm? Sounds like a good idea right? Four minifigs and a cool vehicle for 10 bucks! But is lego rolling the dough a little thin, for us that is? It started out with the first two battle pack sets 7654 (droids battle pack) and 7655 (clone troopers battle pack) at a price of $9.99 a piece. Good price. But that's then, lets look at when the inflation started to happen. Four more battle packs came out and then in 2010 with sets 8083 (rebel trooper battle pack) and 8084 (snow trooper battle pack) they go up two bucks... No big deal. And when I say "No big deal" I mean you're not getting a big deal anymore. Well, then it got worse with sets 9488 (elite clone trooper & commando droid battle pack) and 9489 (endor rebel trooper & empirial trooper battle pack) not only do they go up another buck they put two mini's from each side (Separatist and Republic) in. Some people might like this idea but I don't. I think Lego would've sold a lot more if they stuck to Republic battle pack and Separatist battle pack, like you have to buy both to get the actual battle! I still like the battle packs but i think they would've been better off if they stuck to $10 and kept the Separatist and Republic separate! I was saprised when i saw that the battle packs that just came out didn't go up another dollar or two! Anybody have an opinion on what I'm what I'm saying?
