It's frustrating to see Sideshow working on a figure that I like as much as this and it won't be available until late 2013.
--And by then Joe figures will probably be $200.
--Hot Toys aren't worth $200.

Hot Toys aren't worth $200.
paying $200+ for one figure eventually starts to seem not worth it anymore)
I'll say paying $200+ for a figure is already not worth it. I begrudgingly did it with '89 Batman and Reeve Superman, but its something that I won't spend on a regular basis for figures.
I agree and not taking anything away from Sideshow, they are making really nice figures but all in all $200 IS a lot of money for a figure. I don't know WTF some of these guys do, living with their parents or what, but obviously they don't have much else to pay for that they can buy buy buy. If they do continue to go up at the rate they are, Ill limit myself to a couple a year. There are always other things out there to collect and not go broke.

The zartan and even rock n roll are hot toys quality in my book, and cheaper.
--I am actually looking forward to the 250-300 dollar Sideshow figures.
More for me.

GEE . . . that sound likes saying . . . I'm rich; therefore, I look forward to paying LESS in taxes while the non-rich people continue to pay MORE in taxes so rich people like me will pay LESS in taxes. Thank you!
The point is that we (i.e. collectors) don't want to see needless & unjustified price increases because it's already expensive to begin with. Price is beginning to alienate & deter collectors who have supported this license. I'm not referring to the complainers & naysayers only because as with anything else there will always be complainers & naysayers, but come on . . . $200.00 to $300.00 for a GI JOE figure? In all honesty . . . it's getting ridiculous.
Sure . . . there will still be people who'll buy them at that price, but seriously?
I too have taken the talk the talk and walk the walk approach & attitude as well, but again . . . seriously . . . there is a reasonable limit & tolerance.
