It's a pretty serious screw up at that. I don't really want to pay $50+ for this figure but at present it seems to be the only option. I don't know whether to bite the bullet and pay the stupid eBay price now before it gets any stupider, or hope for another production run. Or both... I would totally buy a second one to stash for my daughter if they were readily available.

Being in Canada, 50 buck is about what we pay minus or plus a few dollars depending on taxes depending on the province.

Yeah, we really get a rough time with action figures up North when it comes to cost.

Not having to declare bankruptcy and losing everything you build up ones entire life is a nice trade off.

That sucks hard.

I got so many items in packages and my biggest fear is opening them all one day to find several that have breakages when I finally remove them.

It's why I tend to open them up and give a basic look to make sure they appear okay.

I immediately emailed and asked for a replacement, but who knows if they even have some available. I’ll try to fix it if it can’t be replaced.

If they're worth their salt they will replace it.

Thankfully most stores are good with that, as long as they got supplies.

Not sure how well stock He-Man stuff is these days, but it all appears to sell rather well.

It's quite remarkable really.

Retro Eels are coming and should be more available without the mark up.

They seem identical minus some minor paint job.

Yeah, the retro cards are going to get me at least for Scarlett.

I wonder if they couldn't do Cover Girl and the Wolverine for the VAMP's price point.

The Last Call

Rehabilitating sinner
There is no reason why they can't.

If they can do a Vamp they can do a Wolverine.

And the odds are good, we know we're likely to get two more versions at the very least with the Vamp ie: Cobra Stinger and then the Tiger Force version of that vehicle. The vamp got a ton of reuse in the original run.

The Wolverine meanwhile had it's body taken and used for a few other vehicles as well albeit with new weaponry.

If it can be re used, Hasbro is more likely to do it, so that improves it's odds.


And yes, it's the worse kept secret we're going to get The Thunder Machine and Snow Cat as well. They're coming.

Except for Vypra the other two were Hasbro Pulse exclusives. They did show up on other websites however.

Sy-Klone is up on Mattel Creations, it’s part of their big reveals event. I was able to order one without any issues. So far I hate how they’re doing this event, dropping new stuff with no advance notice and limited availability, and revealing stuff over the course of days… So if you want a thing you can really easily miss it, and if you want two and they aren’t announced the same day you can’t combine shipping…

I disagree with this.

(Standard) Twilight Princess Link was 5093 Yen and DX Twilight Princess Link was 6000 in 2017. Adjusted for inflation, that's 6570 Yen today. Like less than a $10 difference for all that stuff.

Are those accessories really worth $57? It's ridiculous.

I’ll admit that’s on me, my bad. I bought the DX reissue in 2021 (listed in 2020) which was 8250 yen to the regular’s 7150, which at the time was one of the more expensive figures I’d bought since getting back into toys. I’d recalled that difference being more significant and never followed up on it.

In light of that you’re right, the discrepancy here is ridiculous; in a world of $100-300 vehicles and $400 1/12 box sets that drop on a random Tuesday, Link’s offerings for the price of a second figure seem paltry.

Yeah, I get that especially post-pandemic there's a bigger demand for figures, so I'd expect a bump in price. But an entire figure's worth for accessories is nuts.

I think of how many drat accessories the 2.0 Mafex Mandalorian comes with for $82 with shipping included from amiami and then look at DX Link at $111 before shipping and...nah.

Snagged a snake eyes/timber 2 pack from Ross if anyone is looking for him. Cost and shipping, so like 14 bucks and whatever shipping you want. If you don't mind him loose I can probably find a bag to store everything on and mail him that way.

Anyone have any interest in buying a loose Civil War captain America hot toys with all the pieces and no damage (I think lol I’ll double check) no box

And also the iron man 3 Tony stark mechanic same deal?

Idk what to sell them for. But I’m looking to purge.

Also I gotta a ton of GI Joe I want to off load. None of the super exclusives but most of the line.

I've seen a few mentions online that the force FX sabers can sometimes be found on clearance at Ross.

Haven't seen em in the two local stores I checked but they might be out there. Might be with a call if you are searching.
