My local HT dealer's price is:

1 = $99
4 = $360
7 = $600

Still overpriced but it's more reasonable than Sideshows pricing.

I know. No way I'm dropping $600 for seven of this.

I'd buy it if its 300ish for the set of 7.

I'm sure these will be on sale in a year after release. Like the Green Goblin.

Not a chance. The problem is people have to order and then later cancel for their to be much surplus stock. Pre-orders these days generate production numbers. Very low Production numbers means these won't have much stock to go on clearance. In fact, it could make them quite valuable later. We might be kicking ourselves for passing on these at $800 when a set of seven starts going for over $1,000

I'm priced out on these. Big fat pass. Maybe these with be the thing that makes HT re evaluate their pricing.

Some have expressed that they would at least like to get 1, maybe 2, of these. More power to you. But this is the Hall of Armor.

Personally, I don't think this will look good with just 1 or 2 on your shelf.

If anything, it will just look like a glorified porta potty:

Yeah I'd kinda agree with that.

I just saw the prices and here are my initial reactions:

$800 after taxes and/or shipping for 7 doll cases. Wow.

Re: Hot Toys - DS001A-C - Iron Man 2: 1/6th scale Hall of Armor Collectible Specs & P

I'm guessing by all the replies that the prices are way too high.
I was going to get a few but the cost is way too much.
I'm guessing these might be a gift card item sooner rather than later.

While I agree that is a possibility, I am totally fine with never owning these. I would have to have at least 7, preferably 14. And I would never consider putting out $600-800 for 7 or twice that for 14. Plus, whoever thinks the retail prices are crazy, if they do increase in value in the aftermarket, they'll probably chuckle harder then, PROBABLY! I know I will.

I personally don't think these warrant anywhere near these prices. And I NEVER complain about prices.

I predicted this would happen. The writing was on the wall as Hot Toys increased its prices little by little with each release and it finally seems that we're at the point where almost everybody agrees that their prices are getting ridiculous with this item.

It would have been a cool display for die hard Iron Man fans, but I don't think it's anything that anyone really needs in their collection at that price. I know some will buy, but not a lot, I think. If the value of these goes over the initial asking price due to extremely limited production, it doesn't negate the ridiculousness of the initial asking price.

Exactly!

I've got this prepped just in case:

And wouldn't we need (8) instead of (7) after we get the Iron Man 3 figure?

Why do you think they're releasing these now, right before Iron Man 3? It's obvious that after that movie he'll have a newly designed hall of armor then people will need to buy these all again for the updated version undoubtedly featured in Avengers 2!

From the IM3 teaser, it seems they all kinda blow up.

That's for the re-release

Though, that would be inaccurate since

Spoiler

the Stark house is going to be blown to bits in Iron Man 3.

@Hydeous You beat me to the post there

And I would never consider putting out $600-800 for 7. I personally don't think these warrant anywhere near these prices.

But who wouldn't want to spend a ludicrous amount of money on a box to put your figure in after you've unboxed it?

I realize that OCD fans obsess over re-creating movie scenes and whatnot, but the Hall of Armor display has always struck me as a stupid waste of an articulated figure.

If you're going to display them in such a static, boring way, why not just a buy a freaking statue? Or just an oldschool 2D poster?

(And I absolutely agree -- Hot Toys's prices have gone completely over the moon. )

I would assume, had these been priced right and sold well, we would have gotten singles from here on once they release each new armor. That is really what they needed to do. $50 here, $75 there over time isn't bad. $800 all at once to play catch up is just insane. They blew it there.
