Oh god, please stop with the fur already. He'd look horrible, Chewbacca looks horrible when the 'fur' isn't 'styled', I don't want to see that on Rocket.
Simply overpriced.

When all is said and done, what do you guys think we will see Rocket going for on the market or aftermarket once the figure is released? Fair to say the first Rocket will go for peanuts on the aftermarket.
I'd argue $150-180 for the deluxe pack seems about right for a beautifully detailed second sculpted head in addition to one of the best gun accessories Hot Toys have made. With the popularity of this movie, I honestly don't see them shelf warming anyway as a lot of people skipped on the first release.

This. I don't need to know how the bread is made, all I care about is whether the end product is worth the price. I don't see how any rational person could look at the deluxe version of this figure and then, for example, compare it to the upcoming Doctor Strange figure and see how they should even remotely, REMOTELY, be comparable in price.

There's so much "crying wolf" on these forums about high prices that it has basically lost all meaning as a complaint for when something actually IS clearly overpriced. The only two things I've seen in the past year that I thought were legitimately, clearly overpriced have been this Rocket and the reissued SS Han Solo in Carbonite.

I like to know how my "bread" is made. I collect these figures because they are top quality, not because they are economical. If $50 is the make or break for you there are lots of cheaper lines you could collect. Anyone thinking this should retail for around $150 is out of touch with why these figures cost so much in the first place.
For some of us, we simply choose not to buy something we think is overpriced out of principle that we don't want to reward business practices we disagree with, not because we can't afford an extra $50.

Aaaaaand there it is. Sorry, but the "well if it's too expensive for you then maybe you should rethink whether you can afford this hobby" argument gets brought up every time someone complains about price, and it's the laziest counter argument there could possibly be.

For me, I just know 100% that this thing will be cheaper on the aftermarket after release, even if it's not until Infinity War or the next GotG comes out.

To be fair, if you're not concerned about how something is made, then you aren't really in the position to comment on the actual value of a figure. Manufacturing processes don't scale the way you seem to think they do. Take it from someone who actually works for a Manufacturer that deals with some pretty tight tolerances.
This is one of those situations where expectation meets reality, and its clear your expectation about the perceived value of these figures is in no way congruent with the reality of what goes into manufacturing one of these figures.
I just don't know how you can disagree with business practices that you yourself state you're not interested in learning about.
