    'Rip off' or not the market has pushed the asking price past the retail price, and over $200. So, it qualifies as a 'deal'.

    The Market is literally us. If we do not buy it at $200, they are either stuck with it, or are forced to drop the price.

    The market is not us. We are collectors. We are literally 10-20% of the market. This number has been acknowledged and verified by Hasbro, Mattel, and every other major toy manufacture out there for the last 30 years. Children are the market. Mothers are the market. We are the afterthought. If every single collector alive decides to hold the line, that leaves 90% of the line unheld. This fact is not in dispute. And even if it were, people are individuals, not collective groups. We don't think as a mob, we think as a self interest. So now you're fighting demographics AND psychology! ;) 

    And because I refuse to comment on this thread without leaving an offering, DDD has G2 Laser Prime pre-order on sale for $43

    I don't buy that 10% crap. Literally every line I collect is designed to look like the characters from my childhood and so well articulated that a child would break it in a week. If I'm afraid to break things handling them gently (and have a few times), there's no way these would stand up to even light play. Kids and parents do not have the disposable income that most collectors do to drop hundreds of dollars at a time on action figures.
    Also, most kids aren't interested in toys, it's all about digital content for their Minecraft and Roblox and Fortnight skins.
    I'm pretty sure the only reason most of the toy lines I collect haven't been moved from the toy dept to the collectables section in the electronics dept is that would require extensive remodeling. The DC figures are already there, while the Marvel Legends that they almost never even stock are still in toys. So Batman and Superman are no longer for kids?

    Okay, so again, I don't want to clog up this thread, so I won't be addressing it any more after this. But for you and anyone else who is interested, Spector Creative is a really good introductory resource for this issue. He clearly illistrates why and how collectors only make up 10-20% of the market, and what impact that has over all. Also, Masterpiece TFs are marketed to ages 8+. They are literally designed for kids, but with collectors in mind. It's right there on the box.


    Anyways, I hope that helps. Cheers.


    I know he has a bad rap, but Sonicron is $20 for anyone who missed him at that price at BBTS
    BTS BTS-04 Sonicron. Price reduce!

    Watching that video now. Never seen this guy before. But he opens by saying 'Even though adult collector product is a small part of the overall industry, it's still a big part of it." Ooof. Not off to a great start. Did Yogi Bera write that for him? Lol.

    On topic: Amazon has Jolt and SS74 Bumblebee for $18.99

    If you don't care about the condition of the box, EE has them for $17.24, and has free shipping on in stock orders over $25.
    Obviously, if you want to pad your cart to $99 or more, you can use the code: 2103212 to get an additional $15 off.

    BB w/ Sam: Transformers Studio Series Deluxe Bumblebee w/ Sam, Not Mint
    Jolt: Transformers Studio Series Deluxe Class Jolt, Not Mint

    As of this screenshot, they only have 1 remaining BB; but if interested, you can set an alert to be notified for when it comes back in stock (which items on EE often do... for example, the not mint Ark came back in stock this morning for $127.49, and as of this screenshot is down to 1 left).

    Ark: Transformers War for Cybertron Kingdom Autobot Ark, Not Mint

    Over the weekend I picked up the DLX nemesis and also applied the $15 coupon (as reviews of the light up chest and eyes was a pleasant surprise).
    It should arrive in a week or so (recently EE's been beating their typical 10-14-day shipping time to me on the east coast, and I'm not complaining).
