They would never do the same volume of sales, and it would be a horrible business model. Hasbro only goes into production once they have a commitment from retailers to buy products in bulk. If you want to put up the capital to order thousands upon thousands of cases from each wave, take possession in China, ship them to the states, and distribute them to collectors at your cost, you should be able to secure an exclusive deal and knock the big retailers out of the game. I will gladly buy from you when you do it.

These price hikes suck, its true but i wouldn't place the blame completely on Hasbro. These figures are all printed, molded, assembled, packaged, and shipped from out of country. (Not to mention that the figure itself is a product of oil)They take a truck to the boat, and the boat takes them over here to another truck. Trucks and tankers both run on the same fuel. Plus with the increase in gas, the wages of employees goes up, taxes go up, medical, dental....and so on. Yes these figures are a gigantic hit, but at the same time gas has almost doubled in price since their release. Star Wars figs have been steadily on the pegs since the POTF2 line in 94 i think it was. If i remember right i was paying either $3.99 or $4.99 a fig 15 years ago. They haven't gone up more the 1 or 2 dollars in that 15 year span. Think about all the places these figures have to go before they hit the pegs, and all the people that work to get them there. All these people need to make a profit off of $5.99 er $6.84 haha. Im surprised they aren't $10 by now |

Yeah, it sucks that they just upped and raised the price; but there's another way of looking at it: Now all those figure hogs who go and buy out all of a certain figure will have to pay more. Maybe they'll think twice before buying one to pose, one to sell on the net, one to keep MiB, one to kit bash, one to build up the ranks, etc.
Since I only buy one of each character, I wouldn't mind seeing them raise the price to $12 or $15 a figure. Beats paying $25 on internet toy sites to complete your collection just because someone was greedy and bought them all out. |

The price increase just means that people selling on ebay will raise their prices accordingly, too. I don't think a price increase will detour many army builders or ebay sellers.
