Sorry to be a dick but I would like to help RRX answer this question

RRX and Limtoys do not determine the “original price”

Even Limtoys can keep the original cost for stores, we as retailer will adjust the price base on currency rate, tariff and risks etc

The figure is open for preorder almost 2 years, if you missed the boat for whatever reason, no one can guarantee you the original price for a possible 2nd batch

I didnt make any announcement on social media when I put back a few units for sale, to be honest, I wanted to low the price a bit but forget to do so (with the nightmare last 2 days I don’t even know what I am doing)

But in a few minutes order incoming, so the demand is there, right? I always try to be reasonable but with so many uncertainty I really don’t hesitate to charge more right now (please correct me if you can find anyone with cheaper price)

The winter is coming, I need to save to survive it

Thank you Kit and well said.

The "original" price is never the actual original price to begin with, every retailer will add their own costs on top like Kit mentioned. Pre-orders for Nate opened over 2 years ago now, during that time the cost of production raised, we re-designed his body and added new die-cast accessories, yet the price remained the same on release.

Now 2 years later, a second batch will be more expensive to produce, shipping is more expensive, and now there's this whole US tariff nonsense to take into consideration as well. I'd love if we could keep our figures as affordable as possible but there are various things beyond our control that will continue to raise the pricing of every figure in the market, and factories and retailers can't be running a business on charity.

So I understand if people would rather save their money for their Marvel and Star Wars collections, LIM will keep working on beloved video game figures and we'll be grateful to anyone who chooses to keep supporting our releases during these times.

I'm pretty sure they'll do a few more runs of him, just like they are still doing with Arthur. The price most likely will be a little more expensive than he was at first (inflation and whatever else). So if you missed him, wait. l wouldn't pay for ebay prices just yet.

I got him though I wanted to buy a second I'll probably be happy with just my one.

I really love the fact that you took the time and effort to do that. It's what makes this figure so unique.
There are many very good third party figures out there nowadays but the fact that most brands just use the same standard bodies for all of their releases is often the biggest let-down. For me at least... When you put them next to each other and you see all of those different characters but they all basically have the same height, shoulder width, leg and arm length, let's be honest, it's very dissapointing. At best you get some ankle extenders or some belly padding sometimes but the rest just stays the same...
But here, with Nate, everything is just so unique and different. The love for detail really shows...

I love that little notebook.
 
Nathan's release from LIM has been a breath of fresh air. I can tell that they really care about the source material and especially the character of Nathan. From the outer layer of the box displaying all of the pirates sigils from the game by moving sliding it up and down to the hidden gold pirate diecast doubloon in Nathan's pistol holster. I am excited for the future of LIM and I can't wait for their future releases. 🍻

If it makes you feel any better, I have/will always sell Star Wars or other big I.P. figures to buy LimToys or MTT game stuff without batting an eyelash. There will always be another Boba Fett or Batman. Video game characters are always scarce, & barely exist at all with this kind of quality bar, so it's not even a contest for me. I loved that 40th anniversary Fett & in better times I will be glad to buy him back, but it was a more than worthy sacrifice for one of my favourite video game characters, from my favourite game in the series, from one of the most relentlessly detail oriented companies in the hobby.

True. Historically, VG collectibles have always lagged behind Marvel/Star Wars, but I hope that changes in the future. Still, even the biggest IPs would be dwarfed by Marvel/DC stuff, forget about games like God Hand, Tenchu, Ninja Gaiden, Deus Ex etc.

LimToys is out here raising the bar for VG figures; maybe paving the way for other companies to also join in on the action.

Is shipping from Kit resolved? My package hasn’t moved in almost a week. :(

I had a package waiting for a little over a week when all this postal/tariff stuff started. It started moving after about 10 days. Should be fine, just need a bit of patience.

Mine shipped from KGHobby and hasn't had any updates since Jan 28th. I'm guessing the Chinese New Year has halted shipping?

If you're in the US and picked the cheapest shipping option, KGHobby is going to take about a month or so to get to you and tracking won't update for quite awahile.

I'm in Canada, but yeah I guess it would be about the same thing. I'll just have to wait I suppose.
 
I wonder if these new higher prices become permanent, it will eventually just become part of “the norm” and consumers won’t even blink when purchasing new figures in the future.

About a decade ago, Amazon started collecting sales tax in California (upwards of 10%) - there was an uproar and it was thought spending patterns would curtail. This probably had an impact initially but I doubt it had any long term effects on spending at Amazon.

The current administration is putting these policies in place as leverage to bring other countries to the bargaining table on a variety of issues.

Hopefully a compromise gets negotiated and things get resolved, with things returning to semi-normal.

I know this is an amazing release and can be done as the definitive version. But would Lim consider doing U1 to U3 Nate.? I'd definitely buy all versions honestly. Otherwise an accessory pack for this like smirking sculpt and some guns.
