Looking good. I guess I'll have to pick this one up, too.

Same here. It’s starting to make me a little more picky with the Neca figures.Myers and Loomis are up as well. I can't believe how much prices have increased from just one year ago.
Not strange at all. Just preparing us for the eventual double-dip.It's kind of strange how they show so many photos of the figure in the sarcophagus, but it's not included.
Yeah its very difficult to justify purchasing "action figures" when they are $50 Canadian. The "like to haves" in my collection are non existent because I am not spending the $50. Many times I walk into my collectable store and walk out not even buying anything because prices are too expensive. Compare to the "Golden Years" of collecting (late 90's early 2000) when NECA was $14.99 to $22.99 for clamshells like Cult Classic, Rocky, Ghostbusters, Terminator, etc. You could walk into a store and come out buying a handful of figures knowing they were only at max $22.99 a pop!! Once NECA introduced the "ULTIMATE" line (figures in a box) they increased price by $20. Figure collecting is not fun anymore!!Myers and Loomis are up as well.

I would love to have April and Casey Jones in my collection but can't justify the $50. Two "like to haves" figures for $100 just doesn't seem right. Maybe thats why I have been purchasing $20 to $25 Hammer Horror Blu rays & other boutique horror Blu ray titles packed with special features. I guess that is the price range for my collecting world.
Yes I realize material and shipping cost are part of the equation compared to years past. But there is no denying that placing a figure into a box has increased cost. I remember the first time I saw a NECA figure in a box. It was the video game "ALIEN" figure at Toys R Us. I was taken back at the $39.99 price tag as the "move version" clamshells was selling at $25 to $29 at that time. Then you started seeing releases of T-1000 in a box for $39.99.I don't know what you're expecting, you're comparing prices from literally 20 years ago. By now you can't possibly have missed how much shipping and raw materials costs have skyrocketed in the last year+. Everyone is doing it, Hasbro Black Series figures are supposed to go up to $25 USD retail soon. NECA is smaller so the price increases are bigger for them.
