Quoted. . .for. . .truth. . .
Well, the $70 Lando exclusive sold out in, like, 4 minutes, for what that's worth. And if you assume that production costs are roughly the same (I'm sure that, in reality, they have gone up a tad bit since, say, 2006, but. . .), then selling half the figures at $70 gives them almost the same profit as selling all the figures at $45. If people are willing to pay, then again, I completely understand. I just wish that people weren't willing to pay. |

They still sell out, SS just lowered the production sizes on em. Lando sold out in under 3 minuets and the exclusive Vader 2 minuets.

Not happy about the $130 price tag but I gotta have Timber to go with Snake Eyes.

My girlfriend has been buying the SS figures for me so I'm not even paying for them myself... but I'm going to have to tell her to hold off on this one. The price is about twice what I would consider on the high end. I was thinking $40 would have been reasonable.

That is WAAAAYYYYYY to much for a corner and a wolf (although I do love Timber). My cut-off price for this was $60. It will be interesting to see how long this product lasts. Maybe I can get it with a SS giftcard later on.

I ordered it. The price is not a problem as everything is going up in price. I mean who knows how much it cost to produse. Labor costs and material cost have been going up all over the world as of late. That's why we have all these people getting laid off and SSC is probably feeling tis as well.

I think other companies that offer competitive prices and quality would bring down sideshow's prices.
