China caused easily the most drastic price increase in the Club’s history, eh? I suppose they’re responsible for the postage increases and overall crazy shipping prices, too?
Who falls for this craptastic fiction?

so pre-order the sets and shipping is like 20 bux. on a whim I went back and added the undertow to my cart to see what shipping is......15 bux! so I can order the 12 figure set, a 3 figure set, and a figure with vehicle and shipping is 20 bux but 1 figure alone is 15 bux!? that's sickening, that undertow must be made from heavy water for shipping to be that high.

Exactly.
Translation: Hurry and buy my product, it’s only sold 20% through and I’m getting worried!

I’m in awe of these prices. Papa savage needs a new Bentley or some shit. I have the money, but I’m just not pulling the trigger. I love the mental tactic they’re using of trying to make people think these are on some kind of sale with 50 dollars off. At 500 whateveR dollars it’s a complete ripoff. I’ve bought almost all their product over the past 7 years but I never would have guessed they’d do us dirty like this. I almost expected some type of bonus for customers that purchased all of the fss lines. I was sorely mistaken. Good riddance to these crooks.

I know, but I like the fact that it's black instead of green. That's the only reason as the original SF Falcon I think had black webgear. I have the 25th one and it's on my custom Falcon from the Marauders set.
And as mentioned before, I wouldn't be overly sad if I don't get this Falcon. If it were in his original V1 colors, that would be a different story. Quote:

of course I am risking card crushes etc but I was opening them anyway

To give you a pricing comparison: on the Female Troopers from 2016 to the 2018 versions, our manufacturing costs (not including increases in shipping costs) went up 34%! We pushed back on the factory but they would not budge, particularly because we made 1/3rd less than the first set of Female Troopers.
Hasbro is pulling out of China manufacturing this year because of reasons remember? That actually matches what he said, then the factory would jack up their prices, because Hasbro is leaving, no more Hasbro contract. http://www.hisstank.com/forum/genera...trade-war.html |

Oh..... I forgot, something did happen this year that would cause such a steep 34% price increase.
