How much is this thing going to cost? I might buy it, but only if it goes for $30.

It clearly states "Prototype only. Not Final"

On a side note, shouldn't she come with a "light saber"?

TFcon Night-Bird is better. This thing looks a little manly for a sexy female ninja robot.

I think it looks better than the TFCon one...even sans transformation option.

I like it and will consider it depending on price, scale and future pics.

EDIT: Nevermind...I was expecting 1/3 the price...pass.....

That will hopefully explain it then. As to how clear it is, well thats subjective. I wasn't reading the fine print.;)

Edit: $116 Dollars!!!!!!!!!!! Oh dear, I think not.

Such hate for iGear.... and yet I don't see how the price point is an issue, especially given those that did buy the brittle POS TFcon NightBird spent nearly the same on that figure.

I agree this version looks better than the one released at TFCon last summer, but man that is not the price I was expecting. While I really like this version I may as well suck it up and get the TFCon one as I am really not wanting to pay that kind of money.

Just as a side point, anyone know how much I can grab a TFCon version for? :confused:

You don't think $116 is high on this thing? The nightbird you refer to in the very least Transformed.

The amount on engineering involved with this figure is equal to GI Joe or Starwars...actually less judging by the amounts of points of articualtion on the figure.

There is NO WAY to justify $116. Sweet figure but even at $60 it would be a hard pill to swallow. Once again I will speak with my wallet, no sale until it is discounted away.

I guess it's a case of fool me once shame on you, fool me twice... Personally, after spending on their cheepo Arcee, I won't pre-order a figure from them ever again. Doesn't mean I won't buy one. I just want to know the quality before I drop coin. I'm finding that their figure quality tends to be spotty. Their accessorys, I find tend to be pretty good, at least in my experiecence.

^ i'd have to agree.
i prefer the tfcon one for a few reasons over this one.
not so much price,but the tfcon one,even though it falls apart by looking at it,it has memories of actually being there at tfcon.and it also transforms;)

to me,this seems more like a money grab from igear,being as impossible-toys has a much better non transforming nightbird fig for a much easier to swallow price.

i think igear should stick to upgrades/weapons:D

As much of a "good" thing as this price drop is, it looks so bad.

You have a figure going for $116; this price was obviously created after all the math was done. In one day $17 is knocked off.

This just tells people how outrageous the mark up is on this thing.

At this point he will have less customers then he would have at $99. To get those sale numbers back he is now going to have to drop more. This thing will not sell out unless it gets down to under $70. (Depending on quantity) The seller just inadvertently showed us that the piece is not worth the $116 he is asking for. This in turn plants the seed in customers that “If it isn't worth $116, it can't be worth $99" To strengthen this belief in customers is the fact that they already think it is not worth the price. The drop in price just confirms what everyone was thinking...this thing is WAY TOO OVERPRICED.

Simple sales people, make a price, state a price and stick to a price.

To board member that will argue against my knowledge, I am sure you will bring up items going on sale increase sales numbers. This isn't a sale price this is a price drop due to negative fan reaction. Two totally different set of psychological practices.

Sorry greedy 3rd party dude, you just showed how ridicules your mark up is.
