doing it...for all of us
yes but that shouldnt reflect on the stand alone gantry since there is no figure attached to it
That's just it. The fact that they are selling two versions (one with figure and one without) tells you that one has to do with the other. Here is the thing to remember: They are not doing any favors to those that already have a Mark IV. They got your money already. This is a scene specific diorama prop that relies on the Mark IV to make it appealing to most that see it at SDCC. Planning of this product took into consideration all aspects on how to obtain it. People that never picked up a Mark IV is just one of them. Pricing as a stand alone is another. It reminds you of the Scarecrow/Demon Bats. They make you spend more to get what you want. "You want it? well, here is how this is going to happen..."
A bit confused on this one since the breakdown for at least the limited exlusive is $140.00 for the MKIV and $359 for the gantry
I am taking into account current prices for a Mark IV (notice how HT becomes their own aftermarket seller in that scenario) and using Alter Ego as a pricing point retailer since there are no exclusives. Why pay full retail at Sideshow with no free shipping, right?
Yeah, your definitely right, its just too bad is all. Oh well, life moves on and its time to find something else to put the money to or find out who ordered it and find out exactly where they live
That's one option. There is certainly no shortage of nice items at this SDCC.
