At no point did I say US retailers can order direct from Hot Toys. We all know they can't. But you said it yourself, you can buy from multiple points in the supply chain. So US retailers are free to source from whoever/wherever they please for whatever reason (Cheaper cost, earlier release...
There's nothing wrong with maintaining price points.. the problem is the price point itself. It's based on excessive greed and hey that's their business. Sideshow abuses their role as distributor and absolutely operates with the intention of being a monopoly. They strong arm not just US...
