Hot Toys MMS Iron Man Suit-Up Gantry with and w/o Mk IV

[SanShouXMA]

I'll probably pre-order this. I think this would look great with my hall of armor set up.

$350 is pretty steep in this kind of economy. Might have to wait to get a used piece.

Prices always go up in the after market even with a used piece. Only a hand full of figures go down in price. And thats usually because a better version of the figure was released. Hoping this happens with the OC Batman.

As long as collectors keep paying whatever HT throws at us, they're going to continue raising the level of prices. In theory, if we just stopped buying, they would curb their prices to match demand. But in the real world, that doesn't happen, especially with collectibles.. so they will continue to just keep pumping out products and slowly keep raising MSRP's.

People are still going to buy this dio regardless of what the price point is. And HT will continue to be like this ---->

This Suit-Up Gantry looks awesome. However, the price point and the confirmed release of Iron Monger means that I will have to pass on this.

Looking forward to enjoy in-hand pictures of this awesome mechanical setup on this site from fellow freaks when this set ships.

Or because the license/movie is lame/does poor BO. See Perseus, The Spirit, etc. (Sucker Punch: white courtesy phone!)

I think this piece could be a huge centerpiece of any collection. That's a huge selling point for me.

My only debate is which version to get. I didn't get the Mark IV or Mark VI because I already had the original Mark III and the BD Mark III.

However with the Iron Monger coming out, I can put that in a display with the BD Mark III.

So the question is, do I get the gantry and use the original Mark III, or even the Mark II? Or do I get the gantry with the Mark IV?

Decisions, Decisions.

I'm not sure I'm understanding this one completely - is it possible to get one of these without an Iron Man figure?

I'd actually be interested in that to use with my terminator figures.

Based on what HT put up on their facebook page, I think that you can buy the gantry by itself.

But they are also going to offer a second set which includes the Gantry, the Mark IV and one of those little Robots that Tony uses at home.

goodbye. but i hear you.

does it really need to be 360? i cant justify this...

iron monger is one thing. hes a big solid articulated monster, this is a little robot thing... hollow no doubt. come on..

 

[tcollector]

The price makes this an easy pass. Especially with all the other items coming. It does make me uneasy on the pricing of Monger & 89' Batmobile.

yeah. its too bad. i really wanted this.

i think monger will be this same price, which is what is confusing to me, i dont think this gantry should cost this much.

monger, yes.

they are nuts. how can this cost more than the tron lightcycle??

 

[Wake]

Price is about $100 too much imho.

yup. im amazed.

i know it wont happen, because most collectors including myself sometimes, are sheep and will buy anything.
but, i hope this thing rots, and just never sells out, and they are forced to drop the price. we should all try to wait it out. its a risk. but 360 is insane.

 

[Gully Foyle]

It's more articulated than the LightCycle, for one. That piece is essentially a statue with LEDs.

And Iron Monger will likely be well over $500. . .

we should all try to wait it out.

Good luck with that strategy . . . .

yeah, but articulation doesnt always equal dollars.

over all this thing is thin, tiny little pieces. monger is a thick *******, worth his weight in plastic. but i doubt he will be 500.00

unless this is a whole new hot toys biz strategy starting with avatar, these releases are much more than i would have imagined. i think monger should be 300 tops. thats a big ***** of change. i would pass on him if he was over 350.00

i expect to pay 400 plus if i miss a figure and end up having to get him off the boards or on ebay, but if im able to preorder a figure, that hasnt sold out yet, i dont expect it to be this insane.

Better to go for Mark VII and VIII in $359.99!

Nevertheless, the setup looks good and would look amazing when displayed!
