Tell me about it. I been collecting the jazzwares stiff since they started and they kick the ever lovin shit outta 90% of hasbros terrible qc problem laden garbage. Almost every hasbro fig ive picked up ive had to fix in some way. I think maybe ONE jazzwares fortnite legendary series fig ive owned i have had to fix and that was just a lil heat on a thigh swivel. Otherwise they have been damn near perfect outta the package.

You know hasbro is gonna cheap out on everything and ruin the line. I swear hasbro is like the schoolyard bully that cant stand when someone has a better product, so they grab the line by under-bidding another company so they can monopolize the 1/12th market. I just hope hasbros shit fails big time and jazzwares gets the license back. Never ever thought I’d be defending jazzwares. Haha

Exactly, its never a good thing when a company gets a monopoly on a certain market. Especially when that company is Hasblow. They have all the big 1/12 lines and are now trying to gobble up the rest. Its slickening.

Sold for GBP54 or USD75 plus shipping. Looks like for a US buyer, with shipping it might have been around USD100.

It would be interesting to see a US-based listing goes for, as it might draw in more buyers put off by international listings/shipping.

That said, USD75-100 seems like the kind of ballpark I expected.

What's the big deal with this figure? Looks kind shitty to me.

It's mostly about rarity. Highrise Assault Trooper was only available in a variant Squad Mode four-pack that was only available overseas.

It seems to have been made for the UK market, but also sold in a few other countries.

Yeah, was a pretty average price. At least we all have a starting point to price these off of now. She only charged $14 shipping with tracking, so I doubt many were put off. A guy in Chicago bought it. He had a store so I'm guessing he's going to mark it up and resell it.

I still have a set misb, but I doubt I will sell.

I wouldnt sell it man....at least not for a while. It does look like a cool figure though. I dunno about calling a fig moisty merman.........haha

Probably the only reason Highrise hasn't been released Stateside is because they already know he's going to be an unpopular wide release.

Maybe best to bury him a "Jonesy With New Hat" box set with like Grill Sargeant, Munitions Major, and Red-Nosed Ranger. And Highrise would quite accurately be the crappiest figure in that box. No need to sugar coat it. It's a cheap repaint in the game and a cheap repaint in the toy line.
