Hot Toys Iron Man 2 War Machine preview

[Echo 7]

okay so check this out...I decided to see if anyone had prices on this figure preorder :

https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=Hot10278&mode=retail

Yes folks...$229.99. Insane prices

 

[Reinhardt]

Don't worry - their price will come down. Their prices always start out high.

 

[OCP]

inflation?

 

[Machine_of_War]

How long does it usually take for the prices to go down? This will be my first hot toys figure btw.

 

[dedguy]

Seriously guys, when are ya gonna learn not to trust BBTS initial prices?

Who knows? Not likely but the price may go up not down. It's supply vs demand.

 

[dedguy]

In the case of BBTS it's not supply vs demand. They don't know what the price is yet and they're hedging their bets so they don't get burned like on the pre-order for DX Joker at like $140 that they put up without knowing the price.

The price at BBTS will be something like 95% of retail cost, retail in this case being the price at Sideshow since I'm sure BBTS will be getting theirs through SSC as is normally the case. There seems to be a bunch of ebay at around $165-170 which is closer to what I expect it to be, probably a bit high.

 

[Master Wayne]

BBTS always adjusts thier prices before they charge and ship.

 

[OCP]

I'm sure BBTS knew what they were doing. Trust me, they didn't lose any money selling the DX Joker for $140, especially as a preorder.

 

[dedguy]

Oh yeah, BBTS are good people. They both honor preorder prices even if the final price is higher and lower preorder prices if the final price is lower.

I'm just guessing on the DX Joker thing but that price was only up for a handful of days and after that pre-order all subsequent preorders I have been paying attention to have been extremely high when first put up.

 

[KneelBeforrSmallville]

Yeah Price will go down, im gonna say 170-180, but this is def gonna be worth it the pictures are ****ing awesome!!!!!, Ill probly get this and Neytiri from hot toys. WOW!!

 

[dedguy]

Better job at it. First pass was a rush job I did 10 minutes before leaving for work.

Kinda no reason to do it other than it was bugging me.

 

[plasmid303]

That looks good. I'm still betting (or hoping) that the figure itself is a darker tone than what is shown in the official pics, mainly going by how light in tone the red LED is, which is almost pink, which I think could be affected by the photo lighting.

 

[dedguy]

Yeah, the pictures look like they where taken under rather heavy lighting.
