Us in the states are just going to have to learn to deal with this for a while. It's a hobby - one I'm thankful I can still dabble in. The higher costs just mean being more selective in what to get.

That said, i think the whole situation sucks but the manufacturers are also at the mercy whatever flights of fancy the idiot has each day. Expecting it to be different just because it's something affecting your bottom line is just a waste of time, IMO. Complaining actually isn't just a waste of time, but that has to lead to some kind of feasible idea. keeping the costs as they have been isn't a feasible idea, and I'm sure the manufacturers and retails are well aware that consumers are not happy about paying more.

At any rate, we'll see what the new prices shall be soon enough. And whenever things change - be it Orange Foolius and the bevy of people enabling him change things, or someone else changes things, I really don't expect prices to go back down, either.

Figuring we'll probably be looking at $35 to $40 a figure though.

ETA: in a perfect world, sure the billionaires and millionaires would take a pay cut, but by and large they're not going to, and if anything, current political and economic pecking order and favoritism is only reinforcing that. But it would be nice, wouldn't it.
