I’m sure it doesn’t matter. And with tax and shipping they are over $20. My point is, I see so many people say, man these are cool but the price is to high. More and more companies seem happy with more expensive prices and less buyers. I look to sideshow as well. When I started with sideshow their 12” figures were $40. Then Star Wars started at $50. I thought that was high. The runs then were 15,000 or more. Then each release went up $10 and the runs dropped by 1,000. Eventually you get less than 5,000 runs and $250-$300 12” figures.

I always liked the Sam Walton approach. Sell more units at a lower cost. More collectors keeps the hobby healthy. These limited run expensive collectibles seem to just drive people away.

I really in no way mean to come off as argumentative. The written word is tough. I’m better face to face.

I only look at myself as an example. The only full price reactions I bought were the toxic crusaders. Everything else I bought on sale at fye, bbts or eBay. At this point I don’t buy any reaction at all. If they were $10-$15, I’d most likely buy them all. I did with funko. I do with the hasbro Star Wars and marvel. I just wonder how many new collectors would jump on with a lower price? My wife loves gi joe, she gets al the hasbro stuff….which is its own headache and the super7 ultimates, but the reactions were just to high for her when she can buy articulated figures even some originals for less.

Again just my thoughts, I’m glad many people like them and buy them, but I’m priced out at this point, unless something really catches my eye.
