Ughh...... so tempting. Another item I hope hangs around for a bit.
Price tag on this one is also off putting, the completionist in me wants this but the rest of me could care less for this suit.
Price is high. No question. But I really feel it's worth the price. It's less than what we'd get in the MMS line. If they did that, the size of him and all the extras would put it close to $400 I feel. So fir $250...I feel it's a fair price
Agreed! Jumped on this figure a couple weeks ago. It's not a total stiff like the first PP and it's as articulated as it can be.. this beast would cost over 300 for sure if it came with any accessories and more poseability
Guys dont forget... the Mark 7 was $250...
Yea and that probably used a decent amount of parts from older suits. This is a completely new suit with all new parts and its also much bigger. I think the price is fair in the current market.
The mark 7 used parts from other suits...!?
Mk 7 was all new, had 3 unique optional looks, and a tony stark HS (licensing fees)... and was $250... this is new, pre-posed (though has some good movement), no HS, and no swap out options..
If we balance prices vs what we get then mk 7 should have been $350 ish...
were being ****ed by HTs
As much as I hate the ever-increasing prices of HT, I think $250 for this is alright in today's HT price standards, and for what it is. If Mark 7 came out at the same time as Red Snapper did -- same accessories and all -- Mark 7 may no longer be a $250 figure upon PO, and if Red Snapper was a full-MMS -- even with no extra, but full articulation including working pistons all over -- it could easily be $350 minimum given its size.
2012's $250 can no longer give us the same Mark 7 package we got then. Just look at 2012's Avengers Cap vs 2014's Strike Suit Cap from Winter Soldier. The latter's $5 more, but comes with only extra hands and one shield. Avengers version was $5 less but we got an unmasked head, TWO shields, and a chitauri weapon. Some would say "but Strike suit's shiled is real metal this time!", but still...
Same could be said that if RS came out came time as mk 7 it would be way less... Not much has changed to make prices go higher (like back in 08 when gas went through the roof and all companies blamed that for the prices hikes) any way you look at it were getting our *******s caressed by HT's
which is fine cause were all dumb enough to buy into it, but that doesnt erase facts
Maybe. HT works in mysterious ways And they know people buy them regardless.
Exactly, I cant say I blame them much either cause the secondary market has become so insane that they probably cry when they see pieces going for 3x the price
Don't know why they would be bothered by secondary market prices. If they were really worried about that then they should produce more pieces. Some of ht sell out in hours, and if you missed out on that then you have to wait list a figure or get raped on eBay etc..
