    Tempted. Pre-orered from BBTS, though likely won't be shipping him to me until i see reviews.

    EDIT:: oops, thought this was the Ironfist one. Still interested in this guy though. Maybe.

    If they were 60.00 as a set...I'd be all over it.

    Same, oh well.

    Maybe somebody like Mech Ideas will give them a try.

    Current pricing may partially be based on projected sales. Crankcase and Ironfist aren't exactly A-listers, so they know people won't be buying tons of them.

    After initial preorders, it's possible that prices will drop, just like with Maketoys Chaos.

    True, though the Paladin/Chaos price dropped more because the yen's value went down, from what I recall reading.
