Well people just need to make a choice.....they can either buy it, or not buy it. If they really like the figure they should be able to make adjustments accordingly. I for one cancelled a couple other items I had on pre-order. The new Batman and Joker DX figures are insanely awesome looking so I decided I don't want something else as bad so they got cancelled.

any here think Hot Toys will end up like the Beanie Babies?
 
Re: Is anyone else just kind of "over" Hot Toys?

No, more like POGs. ;)

POGs are what Hot Toys will end up like, Megacolor.
 
Re: Is anyone else just kind of "over" Hot Toys?

Nope. Since I'm pretty selective of what I buy when it comes to collectibles, Hot Toys is just one piece of the pie that makes up my collection, which consists of licensed and custom figures, statues, etc. As long as HT continues to produce high quality figures of characters I really have a strong interest in and it's within my budget, I'll buy.

Just to put things into perspective, here's the average wage per month for a few countries (source: Wikipedia, 2009/2010)...

USA: $ 4291
UK: $ 3604
France/Germany: roughly $ 3110
Japan: $ 2734
Poland: $ 1484
PRC: $ 898
HOTTOYS: roughly $200
Mexico: $ 147
Afghanistan: $ 76
Sierra Leone: $ 18

This number seems high to me - I've seen lower stats, I'm sure of it... besides, you can never trust Wikipedia on stuff like this.

In fact, looking at other pages in Wikipedia, we've got entirely different numbers! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average_Joe :)

Im mexican! :thud:

So that's why they call you dirty Mexicans, because you guys have to go on the cheap for stuff like showers, because even running water is costly over there.

I keeid I keeid! Love Mexico. Been there and want to go again! The people rock and I love the coast there. Only been to the Pacific coast in Mexico.

Yeah, I thought it was high for france too! But then, with all the social taxes we have (health care, pension funds... etc...) our wages are often half of the gross total...
