SS SW Figure price increase Upset or not?

[ProgMatinee]

I understand it is getting kinda high for what we expect. I just don't understand some of the arguments being made.

1. I will just buy medicoms at that price.

Look at medicom Luke. Sure it may have a better body. Although it is a bit short and looks nothing like Luke. It was also twice the price of this.

2. I will not buy anymore until they change the body.

How many of you change the poses on a daily basis? Really besides MaulFan to take pictures. I mean most of us post our elaborate displays behind glass or on shelves. I for one don't walk into my room and play with my dolls. I set them up so they look good on a shelf.

3. I will just not buy it at that price.

Fine don't buy it. Maybe it will show them maybe it wont. Mind you this figure sold out at $69.99 in under an hour.

Maybe I just don't understand. Again this is not something you have to buy. If you want to argue price and beat a dead horse about something I suggest complaining about something usefull. Maybe you could write your congressman and complain about the price of gas. That would be a valid argument. I am getting sick of filling up my tank. After all I can't afford it anymore now that I have to drop $69.99 plus shipping for a doll.

Bah. This is a toy forum. Anyone tired of reading comments about toys (and their prices) can go ahead and go watch CSPAN and listen to gas price talk.

At-leats Medi Luke's head and hands are proportionate.He's got a nice cloak too.

But a ****ty face and stand.

The poll results speak for themselves,and are going pretty much as i thought they would.People are getting sick of it.

I've been saying this.

1. medicom Luke is a figure from late 2004 and it sucked old argument.

2.Base bodys are MUCH of what makes a figure,you can have the best HS in the world and if it don't look realistic and natural when you pose it it kills it.You won't find many that think the buck should stay.(especially at this price)

Really. Please direct me to a thread. You are usually pretty quiet and not very vocal.

I don't think any of these figures look realistic and natural, which is why I don't buy them and like to watch everybody else argue about them.

I am more pissed that gas prices have increased I started collecting these figures. Maybe the gas companies will give me a reason why it costs so much more

Dude...Stop!

 

[ProgMatinee]

Yeah. Anyone complaining about price shouldn't be tooting the medicom horn thats for sure.

TOOT TOOT



At-least you get what you pay for.

I disagree.While i think that medicoms are high priced they are of much better quality in the body and tailoring.(this is just the SW line the marvel line is priced here at 99.99)

I would gladly pay a lot more than 69.99 if just the body alone on luke was different and nothing else.
Point is 80$ shipped for something that has the buck on it is just not right.

No me. I like my Jango and Sandtrooper, but not $150 like.

 

[Memnoch]

The body articulation may be better but the plastic they use just plain sucks.

How much more? $70 more like a Medicom? You can easily buy a nude hot toys or dragon figure for less that $70 and do a body swap.

No.For 70$ more the body AND the tailoring would have to be better.Which i think Medicom and Hot Toys both excel in.

There was time (when Jedi Luke was being sold for $50) when I expected that future armored figures would go for $70. Funny!
