I doubt it. People have to order these for their to be stock. Pre-orders determine order numbers. Little to no pre-orders mean there will be only very few of these made. Look at Iron Monger.

One other quick question: if your theory is correct, why does SSC have left over stock left of any HT figure? As we discuss this, SSC currently have the following in stock:

Shadow Predator
Samurai Predator
Classic Predator
Tracker Predator
DX Indiana Jones
The Friend
DX T-800
IM Mark I 2.0
IM Mark II AU
IM Suit-up Gantry
DX 1989 Joker
Tumbler
Batpod
Red Skull
Rescue Captain America
Bruce Lee (2 versions)
POTC Angelica
Jake Sully
Sucker Punch Amber
Michael Jackson - Beat It
SM III New Goblin
Naked Snake
Ice & Laser
Noland
Sam Flynn with Lightcycle
Monkey Brothersworker
and, yes, Iron Monger

Now some of these are pretty brand new and it's surprising that there's still stock left because they're really great. Those will likely sell out soon. Others have been sitting for a year or more (how old are 'New Goblin', Bruce Lee(s), and MJ?). I think the HoA will fall into the latter category. I don't expect that SSC will drop their price, but other retailers might clearance price it down the road.

Most of those came out before the NRD on a lot of HT items. People could order at will and cancel later, thus creating the surplus stock. You can't do that with an $800 item, so there will be less of that surplus stock to rot in the warehouse. Most of the new things will sell out in a month or two, just like these will likely.

I'm not saying there is zero chance of these ever being had for a good deal, but its just not very likely given the factors of pre-orders deciding the production run. Low orders = low production numbers = rare in the long run = no steals to be had in the future.

Not necessarily.

As an official agent of HT (or any other brands), they normally have a minimum order amount per item, whether there's a sufficient PO amount or not.

And presumably HT have MOQ's they have to hit with their factories too. Not sure how high they'd be. I guess we'll see how it all goes...

He isn't going to go on clearance anytime soon. I won't be surprised to see him go for $1,000 soon actually. He had a big price tag and a lot of people didn't pre-order, but changed their minds with in hand pics and what extra stock retailers ordered dried up fast. Same will happen with these unfortunately. I doubt we see them go below retailer discount rates (10% off).

Dried up fast?

You can still get Iron Monger at AE, viking playground, BBTS, Secret Compass, and SideShow at the price they originally released them at. This will not be at $1,000 soon.

Try again.

I checked the ended auction listing on ebay last night, and they were only going for around 400-500 buck shipped for monger.

As long as hot toys are making iron man figures, which should be the next 3 years at least, the hall of armour will be around. I wouldn't be worried about it selling out for years.
Although what people should be thinking is, knowing the hall of armour gets blown up in the iron man 3 trailer, will there be a completely different hall of armour if stark rebuilds it?

That'd be DS012 or something. And here's an idea for Hot Toys: make EC series to accompany the DS. Just like DX for MMS but the other way around. EC there stands for Economical.

It's because they know the BD version is slightly less bad than the original one. Plus, the Mark III chest is left BD in the films, right? I would have liked to see that for the promo photos!

Yeah Monger is around $450 to be had at several places- what we are seeing is additional shipments coming from HT, more stock. The stiff price will slow sales to guys not the die-hards who bought it when first shipmemnt arrived.
I do think it will be a $$$ grail piece in the near future, once stock is sold.
Right now, I think DX 12 Bats will skyrocket in price even higher than it is now...

I just realized looking at the pictures again, that the base is the exact same one they sent with the figures, so they only engineered the other 3/4 of the case lol.

Wow, pricing is RIDICULOUS. I would buy one if it were less than 70 bucks, guess I won't have one. I'm sure a custom could be done for much less

Actually, someone here said that the custom made one is even more expensive and way less movie accurate.

It was on eBay, don't know if it's still listed there.

these wold be nice to have, but way to much money. a 42'' lcd tv for 160.00, and you want me to pay 115.00 for a 12'' piece of plastic

Well i did get 4 32inch led tvs for $114.46 each. Using them all right now (6) on my computer.
