I preordered with points that brought the price down to a more reasonable $6, but I'm curious if anyone here just had to have it at $15. No judgement, I almost pulled the trigger at full price when it was first announced myself.

Id rather pay shipping for a lanard toy.
No hasbro or any retro figure is worth more than 6 bucks to me. |

There's no reasonable question that 5poa shit is over-priced. For *decades* Hasbro has told us mold costs and licensing fees were the two major factors in toy costs and here today we have Hasbro selling 7-mold licensed Star Wars products (a mold each for the two torso shells) for the same price JazWares sells 25+ mold licensed Fortnite figures at.

speaking of licenses, i cant imagine the indiana jones one costing more than the star wars one. so much that a retro indiana jones would cost more than a more articulated modern sculpt star wars one without engineering and sculpting (basically an over simplified design and sculpt) from 40 years ago.

I still expect that line to bomb. Unless it was the playsets and vehicles, which go for a crap ton of money on the secondary market, I can't see people wanting more than Indy. |

Well, the modern Star Wars small figures are going up to $17.99 so they'll still be pricier than a retro Indy.
