While I'm super happy that you got your MP Hound at a cheaper price, I think it pays to be mindful of a toy's original RRP when appraising its value for money, as that's what the majority of consumers probably paid.

…

If you can get them at a discounted price either through pre-order earlybird discount or later discounted prices, fantastic - and I would recommend that. But I can't say that recent MPs have been worth the manufacturer's recommended price.

I agree. I wasn't interested at $250, but managed to get him second hand for $150.

Though I disagree that I should have to take into account RRP when assessing a toy. I can appreciate that it may impact the relative enjoyment of a figure - the "return on investment" - the ability to appreciate the engineering of a particular transformation or reporting on the build quality experienced should be allowed to be expressed regardless of price.

Note that my additional "Yes" vote doesn't change the ultimate outcome of the poll - you would still have had 40% of people saying they should get the figure, and only 20% of people saying outright no.
