(OK, i've only noticed he-man, the other sets I noticed that were slashed weren't filmation [defedners of the earth, prince valiant]) Hopefully the original sets from which these compilations were culled from can stay in stock a few more years!

The market hasn't changed, to be totally honest most 80s cartoons have not sold well at all.
You have the few that did really well: Transformers, He-Man, Thundercats, Voltron, TMNT, early Superfriends sets and Smurfs.
You have ones that underperformed: GI Joe, She-Ra, Jem, later Superfriends sets, Flash Gordon, Archies.
You have many that really tanked: Inspector Gadget, COPS, Galaxy High, Super Mario, Bravestarr, Defenders of the Earth, Galaxy Rangers (my personal favorite) and almost everything else.
