Honestly I hope not, all that buying things at inflated prices like this does is encourage these stores to overcharge in the future.Originally Posted by AJ_Prime
It's part of why stores put a higher base price on things that they fully intend to sell at a lower price, so that they can make out they are putting it "on sale" when in fact it's the price they were planning on making the most sales at. Happens all the time, just need to look at for example how the supermarkets raise the price of icecream so that they can then "discount" it back to the previous price so that people think they are saving money, when in fact they are just paying what they were going to to begin with.
It's marketing plain and simple, as I said I just hope Trypticon doesnt sell well otherwise the next Titan class figure if there is one will be listed at $400 here even though the US retail price hasnt budged.
TL;DR IMO this figure is overpriced and I hope it shelfwarms so that stores arent encouraged to keep overcharging. Frankly the above is what keeps me from buying more from local retail stores
