I completely agree Eternia is overpriced, and they really should have just made it $600 and had ‘free shipping’ so to speak, I live in the U.K. and if I wanted it, I’d be paying £800, now that’s a joke.

Im not going to pretend to know the inner workings of Hasbro, or how much the production on this thing would be, but my gut tells me it’s overpriced, maybe not if it reached all tiers, but tiers are supposed to be bonuses and not reflect the initial cost.

The only ‘toy’ YouTuber I currently watch is ‘Mad Hatter Review’, pretty funny guy and he isn’t getting stuff sent to him for free, so his reviews are fairly honest.

No hard feelings hey, I’m not trying to make enemies on here, I just wanna talk about toys with like minded souls.

My gut from the get go was saying going with Ghost Rider for a HasLab was risky, but that price point reveal was just a punch to it.

Truth is I think most of our guts agree with yours. Yeah, given the limited nature of HasLab and the lack of retailer backing power it probably would cost Hasbro enough to produce this thing to warrant the $350 price tag, but that all doesn't change the fact the value doesn't feel like it's here for most fans.

And there's probably a few reasons people have come to that same conclusion, but it's clear the over-whelming majority just aren't interested (no matter how many "most wanted" figures they add in through the tiers).
