    Wow. Prices though!

    Spoiler: £70.99
    Magnum: pre-order= £76.99, Covid price = £84.99
    Smokey: £94.99

    Flipperty Gibbets!!

    33% price increase...

    Yeah the shell will also provide a main pivot joint to match the pivot point of Smokey's joint, and the shell will tidy it all up. I guess we'll know which way they went when he lands.

    Watch how Bandit is at...200 quid or so. You can quote me on that ;) 

    I don't even want to guess how much Fireflight will be.

    At this point I would prefer if Bandit came as a stand alone figure. The trailer can then follow at a /much/ later date and I won't have to buy it because XTB will be rockin' out as Menasor already

    A. Those are all MASSIVE companies that probably make hundreds of times the profit that fanstoys makes every year
    B. The price hike is mostly a difference between msrp and its cost in the states (pointed out by the Dalianjj Astrotrain $130 situation) due to higher prices shipping from overseas rn

    I agree the price hike is outrageous, but come on, TT? They already have a price hike built in!

    Compare MP Bumblefeet with the Zeta Movie Bot...both new moulds that needed crafting, came in at the same price...yet there are many gulfs between the two in terms of materials quality, paint work, sculpt and details. Heck, even just a basic volume of plastic comparison. Plus some LEDs to boot!

    FT are getting up there, but they still haven't achieved the price to quality ratio that TT have.

    How do we know he wasnt already supposed to be more expensive? He’s a bigger car and having the elbow joint means he needs the hardware for that.

    also the FT stunts have more paint and diecast than DX9s and have bigger boxes

    Nice job ignoring my entirely legitimate argument for the price increase

    Oh come on, not even trolling a LITTLE bit, with your legitimate reason being that we’re “fools?”

    Do you collect FT figures or just lurk here to give others a hard time for doing so?

    EDIT: sorry!!!!! Wrong person!!!

    EDIT: sorry, friend! I think you and another got jumbled up in someone else’s quote, which I was reacting to. Please forgive me for the error.
