With both of mine it was the entire body. No head or hands. Don't destroy yours until you get the new one. My War Machine was a pain to destroy. DC figs are still much more plastic than DC but they are well built.
Ah ok. Do they send an entire body? Arms and legs? My email said torso but i cant at all fathom how to safely remove the limbs.
I have a replacement body (no hands, no head) coming in this week but I can't recover the video I took of me destroying the defective body (no LEDs working in 5 spots). I know they said a service fee will be charged for any parts not destroyed or thrown away before approval of photos in the last email I got from them. Do you think I should tell them I can't even access the video to show proof? I don't mind paying the service fee if it's a small amount but if it's the cost of the entire new torso + limbs then I'm kinda screwed

Is the expectation that the value will go up in cost over the next 12 months? I want one as my only Iron Man but I'm not prepared to start buying yet.

A good rule of thumb is expect to be able to resale (In excellent condition with box) for about %10 less than retail. It is pretty rare that you can sell a figure for profit these days.
What about for new and unopened ones? I had this fruitless discussion with someone selling a Hot Toys Rogue One Vader new on forums. Definitely hadn't been too long since it was out came out before movie but still late 2016 and I asked him about why the $350 tag, told him me and him both know it doesn't come with a bunch of accessories if anything ANH Vader should be that tag, this was like February 2017. His response I don't know but this is the price now for it and he was in the states. Was he just a scalper who's just saying that or was he right about the price and not going off other scalper prices?

He can chrage whatever he wants to charge, it's your job as a buyer to be aware of the market for a particular figure. If you felt he was charging too much (in relation to the price that the figure typically moves at), then let him sit on RO Vader until he turns into a force ghost. To call him a scalper (if you meant it in a negative connotation), imo, is just a way to project your frustration of not being able to have it entirely your way. Find another seller or pay the ticket for admission.
To me, the perfect sale on the secondary market is one where both parties felt they could've done a little better. That situation is completely fluid and changes depending on individuals involved, and probably never happens unless it's a sale between individuals who know each other. And just as skillerwhale said it, desperation plays a huge role as well.
A desperate person who wants the sale to happen will always have the least leverage if the other party is competent.
For the record, I may have re-hashed some of what Skillerwhale and rocbolt said Apologies
