Hot Toys MMS Iron Man Suit-Up Gantry with and w/o Mk IV

[SolidLiquidFox]

I see the additional arm is ONLY just part of the set+figure

 

[BISHART]

Bishart, i hope you manage to find one at that price. Personally i still think thats still to high, you would still have to consider the shipping cost. But hey, if you can flip the bill then go for it man.

i cant really. but i dont see it getting any lower. such a damn shame, would have been an awesome piece

people need to stop being ok with monger at 500. thats insane. hes no tumbler.

400 tops.

Says who?

I'd rather have a gorgeous & HUGE show stopper like the Iron Monger on display than a batmobile variant in my collection, and people are paying $1,000 for the Tumbler on the secondary market as seen here:

i'll wait and see what else is coming in 1ST QTR, if nothing i like enough, i'll either flex this or wait for forbiddenplanet in the UK to have and slowly lower it's price, that or OSB

im talking about amount of plastic, size, weight functions.

and you cant base it off of what the tumbler goes for at scalpor prices, to pay 500 for the monger right out of the gate is already scalpor prices, so basically youre alright getting scalped by hot toys?

why would you want to pay that much. why wouldnt you hope its less?

i agree, hes a character i want, and i know hes like, your favorite, but dont be ridiculous. why would you justify them screwing you?

PS: only ONE of those hot toys tumblers was bought for 1,000.00 so one guy who just HAD to have it.

Nobody wants to pay that much, I'll take him for free believe me.

I'm not being ridiculous I think, if people are willing to pay a certain price for him - which is the vibe I'm getting here - than that's what he is worth. If he is priced at $400 and the majority opinion is that he's too costly & they pass, then obviously that is not his worth. That being said i believe he will sell like hot cakes priced anywhere from $400 - $500.

i think 400 is realistic.

im talking about the " ILL PAY ANYTHING FOR THIS!" that people have been spouting. thats not a good way to get a fair price.

anyway. this is a gantry thread. sorry.

 

[SolidLiquidFox]

This thread is awesome. The "betrayal" of hot toys for those that buy half a dozen Iron Mans. The funny thing is that with all the talk of boycotting this thing it will still sell out.

 

[AARON691983]

yup just like most businesses 1 person leaves and 10 come in

Hot Toys are becoming a rich man figures, and even Sideshow is jacking up there prices. I don't know if they live in a cave, but the economy in the US is not that great and these figures are "TOYS" and when you JACK up the price on everything the little guy that would buy 5 or 6 figures a year will disappear. I love Hot Toys as much as anyone here, they are all over my living room, but with the announcements of figures and the prices that should be some April Fools joke has turned me off in a BIG way!!! Now they are just being greedy. I look to the future and I see myself moving into something else to spend my money on. It's crazy, I the company that would get my money every time, has in 4 days helped me reconsider future purchases unless they are priced correctly.

They dont care, they only look at the bottomline. All the companies do, cant blame them. Everything they sell has pretty much been soldout by fans like us, so why would they make them cheaper? They will continue to increase the price until sales drop, to find the best profit/price point.

That's the nature of capitalism.

Poor ass people should get out of this hobby.Hot Toys is Major league now,deal with it.

its not about being rich or poor, its about paying the amount something is worth, as in a reasonable overhead of what it cost them to make, or in comparrison to past releases. and im just thinking that i cant see how this is WORTH the price tag.

 

[The Ween]

It was bad enough when I thought it was going to be $300, but $359 for the gantry? Nope.....forget it. Have to pass.

at Shia. Yeah yeah.

 

[Demimatt]

Thing is cool but I have nowhere to put it not would I want to spend that much on this.

Then again I am starting to get out of this hobby haha.

 

[sprig0701]

$500 for the set?!?! That suit gantry isn't worth $360 with everything else coming out. If it weren't SDCC and there wasn't so much awesomeness coming out soon, maybe, but there are too many other things I want and that $360 will go towards them.

Not sure if you're meaning to be or not but that was a pretty ____ thing to say bro. I mean if someone thinks this piece isn't worth it and you disagree, fine...but logically attempting to associate a persons belief in an inconsistent value with being poor is just ridiculous. Don't get me wrong you can think what you want...but I'd like to think the collection community is more united than simply telling someone who doesn't think a piece is worth the money poor and to get out of the hobby. I mean don't you want collecting to stay strong for years to come? To do that more people need to join the hobby as opposed to be brushed away.

 

[Slickgonzalez]

i understand. but it IS deterring customers, if this was 250-275 i would have bought it this morning, and other have posted they were planning on gettign it and arent. i know thats like 5 people. but there are more who just dont come to the forums. trust me, the price hike is real.

it will sell out, it always does, because some people always pay. its just the moving on of some collectors, its evolution i guess. out with the frugal.



congrats man. if i can find it around 275 ill pull the trigger.

Make that 6 people. $360 is RIDICULOUS!!! $500 is RAPE!!! This should have been $275-$300 tops. I need an IM figure, but there's NO WAY I would ever pay that much.

maybe it will go down? they never ever have in the past, but if enough people decide not to get it who knows what will happen. its so overpriced.

Just because people can't afford this doesn't mean ithey're poor, the reason i cant afford this is that there will be a ton of figures announced that i really want in 1ST QTR, and the price on this would take the place of 2 figures, i can't see it being worth it. so I'm not committing to it, and i really want it. I'll wait for it to go down in price and if it doesn't then that's that.

If HT caters to the rich then a large amount of their consumer base is lost, that's not good business, i've got 7 HT on order between now and the end of the year, i wont go beyond that as it would exceed my means, but surely thats enough!
