didn't read anything about 'retail" in that quote.
however, with all the newer options through smaller companies, and kickstarters there are real options in the market place. acid rain animals warriors of the kingdom boss fight h.a.c.k.s. bfs. blanks bfs. fantasy devil toys war of order eagle force returns e. heros and villians e. monster force funko (too many to list) hell screamerz hiya aliens h. predators h. injustice 2 lanard c.o.r.p.s. l. rampage marauders original m. valkaries m. WWII revoltech mini zica amazing heros relaunch z. adventure people z. sectaurs all kinds of overseas releases...not to mention all the ones I don't know about or haven't remembered. lots of product incoming.

No mention of retail here.
His point is very valid. The majority of available 3 3/4” is manufactured in extremely small quantities meaning higher prices which makes it tough to “buy it all”. This is a previously produced vehicle which was available at retail in the 25th line at $15-$20 Maybe even cheaper if you were lucky enough to snag one at Ross or TJ Maxx. Slap the G.I. Collectors Club Exclusive tag on it and it is now $75-$100 shipped. There’s no retail option so that’s the price they can charge knowing collectors will pay it. Personally I want the Dreadnok Stinger but have a hard time wanting the figure. That’s the beauty of ARAH. They had a medium to develop the characters with TV & Comics. Now you create a brand new character and there’s no story to go with her. That just kind of reduces the excitement for me.

I get that for sure, and the price stings, but heartwrencher isn't a new character in the sense that the club made her up as a cash grab, she is from the the comics.

Clicking through the store, there is some stuff which looks really neat to me, and I think would look great on display... but the prices are a big hurdle for me. If I want to spend that kind of money on a treat for myself, I can get some vintage stuff off of eBay, or go to town with some less expensive Lanard or Chap Mei gear. Not the same, of course, but that's how it is for me.
Price notwithstanding, I like Heartwrencher and the Assault Vehicle. Not "oh my gosh" but they look pretty good.
