How much are you willing to pay for RiD2015 deluxes?
So the Canadian pricing for these seems to be set at around $20. With rising labor costs in China, overall higher oil costs over the past few years (though it's down now for a bit), the weakened Canadian dollar, and pressure on Hasbro from stockholders to maintain/improve profits despite gadgets eating market share... I suppose it was inevitable. There seems more flexible pricing in CW, though it too is generally higher... But we like them more so it stings less.
But the RiD15 line seems less in demand from us fans (not a huge surprise, it *is* for kids in the end).
I'm not paying $20 for any of the RiD deluxes we've seen so far, but there are a few I'd buy at $12.xx and more at $9.99, etc. And probably the whole line at another crazy BH deluxe $5 blowout.
So I'm curious what, if anything, the rest of you would pay?
(In general. If you'd pay $50 for a deluxe Bisque with melted butter dipping action, but no more than $10 for the rest, it's the latter in the poll)

I wouldn't get them for me, but the little TF collector in the house might. If the show is really good and he likes them then $10 and under

I'm not fighting to save a few bucks, I'm not that cheap yet. I'll get them at full price if I really want them and on sale if they happen to be. The line doesn't look like it will be that big anyway.

A few things, I think these are made in Vietnam now, at least that's what I recall from CW packaging? I'm guessing to save on labor costs? Also with the demand for oil dropping, this should help alleviate the costs in upcoming waves, say in 6 months time, no? But to answer your question, I think the most I would pay is $12 for a good figure and say $5 for a crappy one.

I'd get the odd one at $9.99 or less.
Except I will pay full price for Jazz should he come along.

For the time being, nothing is appealing from that toy line, even after watching reviews of them. Who know, maybe the will have better stuff but for the first wave, its crap.
