I'm in. Missed the first release and have wanted it. It's going for more in the secondary markets.

I have to agree. $280? **** you Hot Toys!

 

[vodoun]

honestly no need to. Im pretty tired of the pricing conversation anyway. We all have our own thoughts about it. I rather talk about positive things about collecting. these arguments and debates don't matter much. sorry for the long rant earlier.

What positive part?

It's actually $256.50 when you factor in Rewards Points, but. . . Makes the Captain America 2-pack seem like a fantastic deal in comparison. I'm passing on this one unless its eligible for a great coupon down the road. I do want that head sculpt, but not at that price.

Bought. No NRD so I'll see if I keep it. I have the original and asmus clone so I'll decide down the line.

Hot Toys - MMS 249 - The Joker (Bank Robber Version 2.0) - 1/6 - TF Exclusive...

Peeps can justify this price all they want in order to feel better about shelling cash for a stupid rerelease without any upgrades. Shameful.

And yes, the fact that this costs more than freaking General Zod is unreal. Are these toy fair exclusives really all that limited? Or is it just bs?

 

[vodoun]

Yeah, that is disgusting. What an outrageous price for a 2.0, repaint that's not even a deluxe figure.


Again, I hope they choke on it. Nobody can justify that price. Increases happen all the time, but no way is this a $120 increase from this,

$30 for shipping takes it to $300 for me.

 

[careyb]

Ordered!!

$30 for shipping takes it to $300 for me.

Which is more or less the same exact price as the original Bank Robber Joker on ebay. Terrible.

I was ready to buy this at $200/$220 but at $270 it's an easy pass.
I foresee fewer HT figures for me in the future.
It's not even the money, I can afford it but nothing justifies this price for this figure.
I get the feeling HT/Sideshow think we're idiots which rubs me the wrong way.
I hope many others will pass on this, it's the only way to send a message.

Let alone the £35 - £45 for the import tax letter from FedEx to stump up two weeks later after delivery.

This was the first HT Nolan Batman figure I didn't even feel a faint flicker of interest in. And that was before the price reveal!

I've been meaning to curtail my collecting for budgetary reasons and I have to thank HT for helping me be just a little bit more responsible today!

I am adopting a similar policy due to cost and just general releases.

I don't fully blame hot toys for this but case in point the new avengers pics are out and already I am thinking of dumping my previous versions not to mention having 5 different versions of cap 4 thor and 3 widows and all the other characters it's getting repetitive.

Bought. I have followed the entire thread and understand/empathize with the various objections. This is a win for me as I was prepared to hand over asking price to a fellow freak for BR Joker v1 literally 1-2 days before this was announced. Too expensive, yes, but looks very good.

 

[Jeff12burq]

I think everybody needs to calm down about the price. We have no idea how limited Hot Toys is making this.

Having said that, this figure is outrageously expensive and I just ordered two.

Wont change I'm afraid. Those that take a stance will be so small others that are daft enough will replace them.

 

[dms54nyc]

Wow. Well thankyou hot toys for making it easier and easier for me to get out of this expensive hobby

 

[jra81984]

Wow I was expecting this to land at the $200 mark. $260??? Thats a tough pill to swallow. I may pass

Calm down? You make it sound like fights and abuse is taking place…

 

[ShaneX]

Any other sites besides ssc have this?

I'm afraid you're right.
