Hmm...if the AoU Cap's price is roughly the same with the Stealth suit ver., I'm wondering why is there such a big jump in price of the Mark 43 from the 42, when it too is essentially the same figure?

The base with damaged Mk1 Ultron is likely a major part of the price hike regardless of what people here say it should be worth... Also the movie it's branded under. As i've seen said around here "Avengers Tax"

Yeah I was expecting the Avengers Tax to come into effect with Cap too, but what a pleasant surprise it didn't :lol

I'm hoping Cap stays the same price when it goes up on SSC, but i'm ordering from there either way. I don't see this cap being much more than the strike suit cap... Anyway, The Ultron with the base alone is enough for me overlook the price difference from 42, Also the Exclusive red led helmet is a great bonus IMO. I know there are alot who disagree with the price hike, but seeing the recent trend in raising prices, I honestly don't find the price unfair at all... I would have preferred it not be die-cast, but it's a satisfying purchase just the same. I just wish we were getting these sooner.

there wouldnt be a problem with the price if you calculate in R&D costs and tooling/sculpting etc.... but its just a repaint with a new base, it should have been $279 max

Yeah I'm thinking this will be the IM for my collection but I might wait til it's released to buy. I reckon they might do free shipping + monthly promo code to bring the price down a little.
 
Wondering if we'll see this design again in the Mark 45....if the 45 turns out to be the same as the 43, only with a different Chest Piece. Guess we'll know soon enough.
 
Well I can see that you are definitely doing that. lol ;)
