Medicom Star Wars TIE Fighter Pilot

[Scarlet]

As a distributor Sideshow has to use the MSRP that comes from the manufacturer.

The Japanese ad on the first page shows 18,690 Yen. Today that's US$203.

No they don't.
If so explain SS Medicom Marvel prices($99) compared to the Medicom's real MSRP.

Hi scarlet! Long time!

He bro. Yeah. Been awhile. With a new house, new job and recently tying the not, i've been mising out on some great stuff and time on this hobby.

About Medi Scarlet Spidey, I've almost given up hope.
Damn You Medicom! Damn you to Hell!!

No they don't.

What was the MSRP from Medicom when these were first announced?

 

[Scarlet]

As stated in Medicom site.

Ghost Rider-17640 YenMSRP
Blade-17640Yen MSRP
Comic Symbiote-17640 Yen MSRP
Magneto-17640 Yen MSRP
Punisher-17640 Yen MSRP
Movie Wolverine-17640 Yen MSRP

I doubt 17640 Yen equates to US$99 or even US125 forComic Symbiote.

In my country the manufacturer cannot set the price "price fixing" is illegal, I'd be very suprised if it was legal in the USA to do so

 

[Memnoch]

They dont set the price, they suggest a retail price. As in what the company views as the price their product is worth.

They should consider giving these for free to SSF members!!

Thanks to the strong dollar, it doesn't equal out in today's market, but the prices are comparable at the time the Marvel Medicoms went on sale.

 

[jkno]

If no one buys it at that huge price, then they'll be forced to lower the price to be able to sell the product.

Like I said, not true.

Back then, a star wars fig like the clone troopers were sold for US$150 but Marvel figures sold for $99 even though their Yen MSRP were almost equal.

Does anyone else think it's odd that he's even doing the hip thrust on Sideshow's site? Click on the gallery to see more.

Yeah a bit off putting...looks like his arse is in the front of his pants...

 

[EVILFACE]

Sideshow uses the manufactures pictures. Hence the thrust that Medi likes for some ghey reason.

 

[ProgMatinee]

I can't believe the prices Medi asks for this. Its more than the HT Predator!

Sideshow Tiefighter

Has anyone order the Tie fighter..or am I the only one ? The reason why I ask is that I do not see a thread started on this.

Okay let me know.

I am so happy this figure came out!!

Re: Sideshow Tiefighter

Not at that price. That's what I paid for Sideshow's Han in Carbonite. I'll wait for the eventual clearance. And if a clearance doesn't occur, I'll wait for sideshow's version.
