    Not quite sure how it’s possible to fully discuss this topic without talking about the underlying politics/policy. You might as well lock the thread.

    Well,....i figured it would 1 day go up in price. I'd love to see prices go down to the point of 80's prices. Then i woke up from my dream and screamed no please not those,....i love my figures.

    Yeah I agree, beyond “oh that stinks we have to pay more money” it’s pretty much impossible.

    Would the retail costs stay the same if Hasbro sold their figures directly through Hasbro Pulse?

    I don't think people understand economics. If they did, nobody would support these tariffs. However, what people support has no bearing on what this administration does. Get ready to live in a worse economy than The Great Depression.

    Cool, eventually deluxes will cost almost as much as high end figures like Figmas and S.H. Figuarts. At least those figures are worth what they go for and 20 dollars for deluxes is already too much as is.

    I will abandon my collection if I have to pay Hot Toys prices for a leader class figure.

    If the credit bubble pops then we will be in trouble.
