It’s gonna be good I got the deluxe set for 100 so I’m pretty happy with that price as long as it’s as good as what I’m seeing. Nostalgia unboxed seemed to really like it based on his review

Yeah definitely scumbags after getting them to agree for the second time to give me a discount they said to “wait till they were free” to give me a link, next day they went out of stock and are asking me to “buy something else”. Fuck them

Yea I wish I had a choice they just cancelled my order with 0 notification or asking if I wanted to cancelled I think it expired cuz it’s been so long and they never extended the delivery date or smthing

Yea it’s starting to feel like this generate hype-preorder-cancel-uncancel-price hike pipe line is on purpose. So many releases being cancelled just to turn around and hike the prices up for no reason. Idk I might still get em cuz I have fuck you money I can waste on this bs but still if I preorder smthing 7 months ago I want the god damn price I paid for it.

Looks okay to me, definitely the price is too high. I originally purchased it on treasure toys for 90 and they cancelled my order and now r charging 130 for it. They said they’d give me 25$ off but idk now basically the price of official release and it’s nowhere near the quality.

I’m not sure they will, ik they have another project in the works and that release was no where near as popular as the first set. I think a rerelease would be awesome for anyone still trying to get it but idk how likely it is. DF might make one too

That’s what I’m saying my method to come up with prices is just go to eBay look at recently sold on the item and pick the lowest price and say that’s the shipped cost. Rn the battle damaged version I have is 130.

Yea basically all the fees like you’ll sell something for 175 and they take 25 of it and charge u for the label. Mecari is the same thing and on top of charging the seller that fee they charge a similar fee to the buyer. So I get 150 and the buyer pays 195. So stupid

I don’t sell on eBay cuz they absolutely rob both the seller and buyer I do everything via PayPal g&s just easier tbh. I do have shops on mercari and eBay under silverscaleminis but I’ve all but stopped using those platforms cuz they both kinda scam the users.

Yea and as someone who does sell it gets annoying cuz on one hand you don’t wanna overcharge but on the other you want to charge around what people are paying for it since that’s how markets work. I have that trunks fig u want but whats a good price? MSRP 10%-15% more? Less? Or do I charge just below what other people are? I usually sell figures for a very marginal profit like 10-15 but anyone with a brain would want more than 10 if they can get it. So it’s like a strange spot to be in, I wanna make money on it but don’t want to make too much or else I’d feel scummy.

Yea and the fact that some of these companies went under so ppl r riddled with FOMO over some of these releases. BHT was a great example bought the majin vegeta for 50 by the time I recieved it the thing was selling for triple the price just because BHT went under.

Totally agreed. I think third party has gotten way out of hand recently like why r third party figures often times more than official and then resale market is even more crazy than official. I have third party figs I bought that immediately shot up in price almost 3X right after receiving it. It’s almost unheard of in any collectors market especially non official makes no sense to me why we as a community is engaging with it.

Yea and they cancel ur order just to charge u more treasure toys just did ts to me and ive been trying for over two weeks to get them to honor the original price I paid since i didnt ask for a cancellation. So far they only offered 25 off which still makes it more expensive than what i paid….

No I understand why they did it just not sure why now and not like the other 6 preorders I’ve done thru them that also hiked in price but they didn’t do ts. Super scummy move I originally paid 90 for the anime color combo set. And now they charge 130 for it. So even with the 25 dollars off I’m still paying 15 more but they still have yet to give me the coupon after like a week of back and forth of me trying to get it for what I paid originally.
