Re: Hot Toys MMS Iron Man Mark XXI-MIDAS

Yup scalper definitely,

No way HT will offer this for $300 (avg) to the Asian market then boost it up by almost double to global.
 
Re: Hot Toys MMS Iron Man Mark XXI-MIDAS

I asked Angolz why the price on midas was so high at $495 and if it was the price HT gave them. They said that the toy fair prices was lower just to attract customers to buy the "limited edition" figures and after that the price is adjusted "accordingly".

So unless Angolz is giving customers scalper prices, then maybe SS would have a similar price point.

Sad but not worth the price, cant believe its more expensive than igor.

since when does angolz set retail HT prices for the U.S.? midas should be no more than the MVII BD, $294.99.

if it is, then someone is scalping!
 
Re: Hot Toys MMS Iron Man Mark XXI-MIDAS

Well secondary markets on a store/manufacturer exclusive will always be high. Angolz can't sell Midas for retail because they can't get it for wholesale price. Retailers get Hot Toys for about 70% of msrp from sideshow. But if a store gets Midas, or like BD MK7, it's because they went out and paid retail price for it too.

Still, that explanation sounds bogus. Better than saying "we went and bought up some of the customer stock to resell to those same customers".

this is my one and only gripe dealing with BBTS. but that problem can be avoided by preordering early. yet certain pieces like you said are bought at retail just to be resold at the inflated secondary market price.

I also believe they are scalping. But if SS puts up a similiar price, then this will be an easy pass for me. :(
 
Re: Hot Toys MMS Iron Man Mark XXI-MIDAS

Where would he appear on Sideshows website?

I'm cooking dinner and trying to refresh on my phone :-/

Really want this golden boy and as Sideshow just sent me a $25 off voucher it seems rude not to use it!
 
Re: Hot Toys MMS Iron Man Mark XXI-MIDAS

Not familiar with spooktacular, any reason we should expect Midas during it or is this just wishfull thinking.
 
Re: Hot Toys MMS Iron Man Mark XXI-MIDAS

I doubt this figure will be up for order during Spooktacular...doesn't really go with the theme. But I hope I'm wrong.
 
Re: Hot Toys MMS Iron Man Mark XXI-MIDAS

I don't think it's going to come during Spooktacular.
