Man that Poe’s X-Wing is beautiful!

Here's a picture of my Christmas Hauls. In the Background you'll see the Super Colossal Battle Damage T-Rex, along with a few smaller Jurassic World Dinos.
Up front is the New Vintage Collection Poe X-wing. This thing is really nice, nicer than I expected. It's not $100 nice, but well worth the cyber Monday sale price of $60ish, that I got it for. There is a compartment underneath the X-wing where the small ladder can be detached and stored. The three landing gear are far nicer than they need to be. The droid compartment can fit either BB unit or a R2 sized droid (removable piece). There is a removable panel that reveals detailed engine parts. Also, the paint job is really fantastic. The weathering looks great. (Also, on a personal note, as a Buccaneers fan, I'm digging the 'ol Bucs Creamsicle color on this thing. It's like they were trying to match that color exactly, lol) |

I'd pay $100 for a 6" scale X-Wing, but not for 4". I wish we got one 6" vehicle a year. I love my TIE Fighter (which, admittedly, I got on clearance...). I'd really like an OT X-Wing, or even an A-Wing, my favorite Rebel fighter, since that would be smaller...

I’d settle for an At-Rt or a Jedi starfighter. Talking about starfighters, did you see Hot Toys’ 12” scale Jedi Starfighter? It’s insane!!!

I agree that $100 is too steep. But realistically, I never saw this thing for $100 (except in person at Barnes & Noble). Everywhere I've seen it online, it's been $95 or less. It's been in the $75 range on Amazon for several weeks. I got it for around $60. I'm sure it'll be back in $50-$60 range by the middle of next year.
I think Hasbro is taking the Kohl's approach (or like Car dealerships) with their starting prices. You know, just slap an inflated starting price on it, knowing full well everyone will be expecting discounts or using coupons. If they sell one or two at $100, great. The rest they can afford to sell for cheaper. |

I just don't understand the idea of releasing a relatively small (even at 1:18) vehicle and pricing like that. Maybe you're right, they know they're going to discount it...
I have not seen the Hot Toys Starfighter, Yeet. I'm super interested in 1:6 scale stuff, I just can't pull the trigger due to the prices. I had a couple of the TBLeague (Phicen) seamless bodies, but outfitting them got so expensive, I eventually sold them. To be fair, I completely made my money back, and the figures were incredible, everything I would have dreamed of as a kid in terms of poseability and quality, 1:6 collecting is just so involved.
