Hot Toys Tim Burton Batmobile

[Superman]

If HT launches this at 950, I'll wait for it to gather dust in their warehouses and when they finally get their head straight and bring down the price at 550, then I'll buy it.

I agree, unless they plan to only sell a very small amount of them, $950 would be excessive.

customs, yah, but shipping? Nah. European dealers get it from China just like US dealers do. If you or I ordered an idividual figure we'd pay a wagon load of money for shipping, but when it comes in containers, its almost negligible.

The real problem for us European buyers (of any product, not just Hot Toys) is that our dealers and retailers (who get the same discount their US counterparts get) just love to apply a higher markup on the price than is done in the US and so you get the $=EUR result

When I said shipping, I was refering to buying it on Sideshow, BBTS...

...and then cry yourself to sleep every night seeing it double in value and knowing you missed out on it...

I still have confidence this'll come in at a competitive price.

 

[jayveeeusebio]

HT needs competition. And not competition that charges MORE than HT prices (ahem... Enterbay).

And I was referring to our European dealers and retailers charging extra and forcing us to buy from the US or Hong Kong to get a cheaper price even when you factor in shipping and customs... not necessarily true for a 20 pound batmobile, though.

even at $950 they'll sell. This is a must-have.

It isn't a must have at that price, sorry to say. It is a must have at $500 though.

Yeah, to like six rich bastards and four other guys who are so far in debt another $950 is a drop in the bucket.

Exactly. The wait for this really sucks -bring on the preorder!

 

[jarvis.321]

Agreed the wait sucks! BUT IF ITS OVER $650 It wont even matter! I would love to have one of these but I will stick to my Lego version if its over that!

 

[superman1938]

This would be an incredible buy but where would you guys put it? That has to be a ton of shelf space just house this awesome car.
