Yeah, I can see the MMS CW Iron Man figure(s) go for closer to $400. They seem to be steadily creeping up to that. But they're going to eventually price themselves right out of buyers. Hell, the ¼ Iron Man is a little over $400!! When a 1/6th scale figure is almost as much as a ¼ scale, that's price gouging in my eyes. It's getting tougher and tougher to keep up with the figures collector's want - people aren't made of money, especially now-a-days! I doubt they want just the higher end collectors being the only customers they have. Bad enough the bottom level price has gone up from the $180s to the $220s, but to keep raising the price on figures like Iron Man when they have 40+ versions of the same character, just different armour designs to do is a bad idea. It used to be feasible for me to try and get all 40+ suits, but now - with the price hikes - I'm down to just going for the couple essentials a year and that's it. 2016 is looking like CW Cap and Movie Deadpool and that's it. Maybe I'll get lucky and be able to snag one more Avenger from my list to complete the team. I'm also looking to get decently priced "generic military soldiers" as bad guy cannon fodder for the Avenger Diorama Display I'm currently starting work on. But even those I'll be lucky if I can get 1 or 2 after getting CW Cap and movie Deadpool. I don't wanna spend Hot Toys prices on them, but I don't want to get really crappy ones either. Somewhere in the "looks decent, doesn't cost an ear or a duodenum". Ya' know?
