Re: New Toys Prices Discussion
You're correct on the pricing, it's a little much. Looking at pre-order totals to come makes me cringe.
The psychology of collecting is akin to an addiction for some. And I'm sure there are many who buy too much, even if they say they will hold off they might break if opportunity presents itself. Fear of missing out and all, plus the chance of not seeing that figure for retail again.
I imagine MP and third party collectors have a frustrating time as well with $400-$500 Optimus Prime and such.
I'm also sure that Hasbro knows that they are selling these to collectors with jobs who will buy the product. CHUG is a collectors line, there's no 8 year old kid crying because they don't have a Selects Seacon set.
I own commercial income property, money is decent for me although Ive been handing out a 50% off on rent for the next two months to help out my tenants.
