The price certainly turned people away originally. People felt he was something they could pass on or wait for in hand pics for. So he definitely had a lower production run than a normal HT figure. He will definitely bee a grail item. I can easily see him going for $1,000+ in just a few years. He's not a figure/character they can really get away with doing a 2.0 or DX of. They pretty much put everything they could into this release.
If you are still on the fence or haven't bought the figure yet and want to, I'd highly suggest picking it up before it dries up and starts going for more than retail. You wouldn't have a problem flipping it in a few months if you regret it, which I doubt you would.
I can't wait to see the Hulk next to this guy now. He's like the only other big character that you could face him off with. My one disappointment with the Avengers is we never got the Hulkbuster Iron Man outfit. And I don't really see them needing to use one now that Hulk is on the team and playing nice.
I started collecting Ironman items about the time SDCC came around. I was not to happy about the price but caved in knowing if I don't buy it now. I will kick myself. I don't like to kick myself. I do see this going going higher like most here think it will.
I would say if you could, get it on flex pay. It helps with the high cost but if its on the wait list. Full price, I think someone said BBTS had like 130 of them?
