I think the fact that the movie promo Mark VI has nothing new added to it, matters in comparing to 2 sets of Marks. It was just recast of existing parts.

While the regular Mark VII comes with more, the BD Mark VII has

a new base
new hands
a new head sculpt
and some of the armor is new ( more BD )

These are very feasible reasons for the BD to possibly be more. It at least makes the 2 mark VII's not an exact comparison to the 2 Mark VI's

Maybe a better comparison is The Mark III to the BD Mark III. And the Mark III BD was $35 more.

The Mark VII suit is my favourite Iron Man suit. It's like a beefed up Mark IV (which is a great looking suit) but it was involved in alot more on screen fighting scenes.

Same here. And this figure looks to be the best so far too. Look at all of the accessories and BD parts. Not to mention, if the rumored repulsor hands are now added will be icing on the cake!

No, you're comparing two "different figures"

Mark VI Iron Man 2 (2011) $210
Mark VI Avengers Promo (2012) $190

Mark VII Avengers (2012) $250
Mark VII BD Promo (2013) $?

With the newly sculpted base and arms, I'm still guessing $225 to $250. I'm leaning more toward $250 now.

 

[Hydeous]

I still think it'll be $190 or 220$.

That would be so awesome. Given the current HT ironman prices, I'd say 240

 

[Ultron-7]

I think you guys may be in for a shock when the price is revealed. $300-350.

 

[SixthScaleEdward]

Yeah, HT has been breaking price barriers with almost every release, now.

The base, hands and head are new for sure (obviously).

Are you sure that there are new armor parts? From what I can see, it's just the same BD parts, but with an insane amount of weathering done overall to simulate battle damage throughout the figure.
Which parts were you saying are new BD parts?

I am not sure they are new. But they are different. Even if it is just an insane amount of weathering. My point was, that for the Movie Mark VI, it was just recast and ship. And making the comparison of both Mark VI figures to both Mark VII figures may not apply when trying to guess the price. With the movie Mark VII, there are many new parts, aspects and treatments to this that I could see making it a little more expensive than the regular Mark VII.

 

[dedguy]

Yah it doesn't have much in the way of new and has a lot less than the regular figure. Now, I can see it costing the same perhaps, but I'll be surprised if it costs more. I certainly could be wrong, but regardless I don't think it make any sense getting worked up about how high the price will be before the price has been announced.

 

[ThatIsTooReal]

The arguement between the new pieces being added is also balanced out with the fact that it is MISSING a lot of pieces the orignal has. Even with the new parts, it still has less than the orignal. The repulsor hand also isn't really a "new" part anymore because it's being included in the original Mark VII.

Of course it has that base so who knows but I think it will hit the $250 price tag or above.

 

[mikericm]

I want this to be a low as possible. But I will get it whether its $225, 250, 275.....Whatever. I want this and thats all that matters to me.

And my post about new pieces being added wasn't directly aimed at why it may be more expensive. It was mainly aimed at the comparisons being made between the 2 Mark VI figures and the 2 Mark VII figures. I don't think its a good comparion because the Mark VII has new part where VI didn't.

Why has the discussion on price guessing for the BD ended up in here?

Let's get back to the standard MK VII discussion in here and leave the BD to it's own thread.

LOL yeah.. It's funny though.

Anycase, I might stick to just getting this non-BD now. Impending price of the BD is just overboard.

VII is still my favorite suit.

 

[FreedomGundam]

No one still has any insight on how the shoulder rocket pods and ribcage-panels are held on, right?

 

[darthflan]

I just want to know when the MK VII is finally coming out! It been delayed forever it seems!

 

[FullMetalHippie]

With the inclusion of the repulsor hands, I honestly feel no need to get the BD version. I know, cool story bro. Just seems like overkill to me.

Magnets. Or pressure perhaps?

Had that photo been posted before? That looks fantastic.
