I would avoid spending more darn money on still new figures when I have so much invested in the Mil 2 to Mil4 figures already.

You answered your own post. Those brand new figures that you won't invest in need props and environments using the same types of materials and fit in those hands. And customers have been rewarding vendors for compatible products. As time to make products is finite, vendors position themselves to make products that will give them a decent return on investment. Making two separate products with 3-4 different materials for small price ultimately isn't worth the effort, so vendors are only choosing one. If you notice when a vendor does put out products for both platforms, the poser version is lagging way behind the DS version in sales.. .so that's why you're seeing more DS-only items flooding the market and why it was important to have something built on the same standard so vendors are only making items once.

Understand from a common sense business pov but from a frustrated long time poser user pov still sucks.
