Dumb question but why the price hike?
Secret compass has Venkman but it rose to almost 3 bills! (orig 214.00)
Damn. I just got my batteries in the mail the other day, so I need to test these out.
Sorry if folks didn't get these, but you can't sleep on something like this! I can't imagine anyone who is a big fan of the film really wanting to sell, all things considered (great all time film, really well done figures by and large, little to no chance we get someone else doing these, at least all 4 of them). So, I wouldn't expect supply on the secondary market to be very high. This ain't the newest Star Wars, Marvel, or DC film that people will get excited about for a couple months then forget about 6 months later when a newer sequel in the franchise appears to replace it.
Yep. This was a set I preordered as soon as they went up at Popcultcha. It was a bit nerve-wracking to put a deposit down on 3 figures in one go, but I didn’t want to miss out. I was actually grateful for the delays so the payments got stretched out and didn’t hurt too much. I hope people are able to pick these up. Totally sucks that the prices are being hiked. Do “non-collectors” snap these up, only to flip them at stupid prices on eBay?

I sort of do it the opposite: if it's a figure that I absolutely know I want to have, no if ands or buts, or I know that I'll probably end up wanting it at some point down the line, I PO it at retail because it's worth retail to me to ensure that it gets on my shelf. If it ends up curtaling in price on the secondary, I don't regret it because it was worth retail to me in order to get it on the shelf. If it's a figure that I'd like to have but I could probably live without in my collection, then I play the wait and see game because I'd like to have it, but it's not really worth that much to me to pull the trigger on at retail. If it comes down in price, then I'll pull the trigger. If it raises on the secondary, then no big deal because I can live without it in my collection.
In Japan, Amazon has them. For preorder the price was consistently about ¥151,000 ($1362). I wasn’t about to pay that so I waited them out until they hit ¥101,000 ($911). It eventually went down to ¥99,000 and is now back up around ¥117,000 ($1055) last time I checked.

Would feel cheap for Blitzway to re-use the sculpts like that. If they did GB2, they should commission new sculpts!If Blitzway decided to go with Ghostbusters 2. They would probably stick Ray and Winston with the slime blower's and Egon and Peter suited with proton packs in the courthouse.
I doubt they'll do a GB2 set.
Agreed...not alot of following for that- everyone considers it a big let down and downright botched film- well I did anyway

I’m certain some probably would, *cough* Alice
