Also, how's about you chill out. Nobody "whinging" here, just speculating.

Nah, fair call. Working on 4 hours sleep and 6 espressos made me a little edgy when I posted this. Sorry RIDDICK.

Just went up for pre-order here in Japan on Hot Toys' official Japanese distributor's website (toysapiens.com)....

31500 yen ($300) for Robo, 49500 yen ($500) for the pair.

Ouch. Please take lots of pictures for me guys cause even though it's a work of art, I simply can't justify that.

Thanks for the info. How do their prices usually compare with Sideshow's? Higher? Lower?

I think I gotcha here, bud.

Not gloating because I also thought it'd be months before it went up for PO.

Sometimes Japan is higher than Sideshow, sometimes lower, it really depends on the product. For example, the DeLorean is about $35 lower in Japan, but I think their Han and Chewie are a little higher.

Haha, I'm leaning that way, too. This hobby is crazy. When the clean RoboCop was announced, I was sure that all I needed was that one, iconic, armour. Then I talked myself into the battle-damaged version and was 100% certain that the pair (with my non-returnable ED) was all I'd ever want of this license. Now it's all but assured that I'll be picking-up this double-set. *sighs in defeat*

Man - I'm just glad that RoboMurphy is actually as I hoped - no sound crap or die-cast parts to hike the price of this set up for no good reason.

THANK.

****.

I see. Perhaps it depends on which licenses/franchises are more sellable in Japan.

Pricing just gets whackier and whackier.

I know I won't be in a rush to order these bastids. I'm going to build up my already existing rewards points over the next year or hopefully use $20 codes and maybe triple deals like they had for the Terminator. **** $500+.

Damn, Peter Weller knows how to play hardball. More power to him.

If this turns out right, this will surely win the Eddie Wires Paint award. That damage work is mind-blowing.

A HT Anne Lewis would seriously test my RoboCop fandom. But a Lewis and Clarence? Hmmm....

Lewis standing next to Robocop? Oh yeah bring it ON Hot Toys!

Re: Hot Toys, "RoboCop (Battle Damaged Ver) & Alex Murphy Collectible Figures Set

I've noticed the trend in Japan for big items is that they are about the same price at first, but can be picked up much cheaper on amazon after the initial release. "Hot" figures retain their value, but slow sellers are discounted like crazy on amazon japan. For example, "Mime" Joker is about $120 brand new right now, so is The Crow, the Retaliation GI Joe figures are about $100.

But space really is a concern here, so maybe that's why the 1989 Batmobile is currently $260 brand new, and ED 209 is $200....of course with ED, the negative reviews must have something to do with that.

The diecast Robo is currently $260 on amazon....better that the suggested retail price, but unfortunately still too much for me. I'm just gonna have to settle for NECA. Sigh.

tl;dr.....I think these prices are going to be awfully close to Sideshow.

$260 for a Batmobile? Wonder how much it would cost to ship to the States...surely less than $500.

I wish Amiami was still selling overseas. They have listed Robo as 28440Yen(~=USD263) at their Japanese site...

Re: Hot Toys, "RoboCop (Battle Damaged Ver) & Alex Murphy Collectible Figures Set

Wow 300$ still even without the 5% diecast, sound, and swappable parts? That set should not be over 430$ tops
