Aside from Khev, who said that? Most of us _____ed about the absurdity of paying $52.99 for an articulated, yawning wolf.

 

[karamazov80]

Agreed. Absurd that that wolf only cost $53. Price should have been $250+.

I'm sure prices will be about that, come next year.

 

[teemu]

wondering if these eventual higher prices will just eventually kill the line...that's kinda why I want faster releases because over time,we are just going to keep paying higher prices for Joes (and of course everything else)

 

[snakeeyes171]

j/k aside, i just hope they do him right and no red spot patches on his black suit

 

[devilof76]

Higher prices...

Doc
Scarlett
Short Fuze
Gung Ho

Destro
Baroness
Scrap Iron

...and that's it. When prices make me choose between Star Wars and G.I.Joe, Star Wars will win.

For such a smart guy, it's sure taking a long time for you to realize this. I borderlined on SW with the green clone I couldn't recognize from any source material, and tapped at Snake Eyes' $199.99 price tag. Sideshow releasing commanders with no Morrison headsculpts yet charging the same price as those who come with them would've been ideally the death knoll if SE hadn't been first.

 

[devilof76]

I've never been all that fiscally bright.

 

[ProgMatinee]

I think the pricing on Destro will be high, not for tangible reasons, but for popularity.

They don't need a low price to draw buyers. I'm hoping south of $150 but doubt it.

 

[devilof76]

$159, and I will be impressed.

 

[ProgMatinee]

I'm shocked at the pricing of these Avengers figures. I wasn't going to buy regardless, but HT is milking it big time. Plus, I bet these are some of their most produced figures.

Not happy with the trend it continues.

 

[BuddyGus]

Let's be honest. There it no justifiable reason these figures should cost more than $135.

 

[snakeeyes171]

baroness $134.99 destro 174.99 falcon 134.99 predictions

 

[tkiv18]

I think that's a fair guess, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if Baroness is more... in the $150-160 range.

 

[Frank]

Not for $200.

What if he comes with exclusive chipped black feet?

 

[devilof76]

Frank!!! You're in the Joe section!!!

 

[Science Friction]

Whatever Destro costs that chrome dome of his better stay looking nice for a loooong time.

Notice how many HT 1:6s are still in stock? That's always my "told you so" moment of satisfaction.
And when was the last time a pre order went to a wait list.

The companies are only hurting themselves with their nonsense price grid and bragging rights to see who can get the highest paying customers.

Hot Toys is also destroying whatever collectible credibility they even had with me. Really reeealllly hope SSC doesn't view HT as a role model company for 1:6 scale.

 

[King Darkness]

HT has pretty much lost me as customer at this point. I have nothing on pre order from them. Last figures I got from them, Superman and '89 Batman, both I thought were over priced, but I paid it because the value of the characters to me. Other than the eventual HT Hulk, there is next to nothing I am gonna pay the new $200+ asking prices. F that noice.

If Sideshow ever adopts the $200+ regular price tag
model HT now has, I'll jump ship.

Gotta draw the line somewhere.
