China will often revise the pricing higher as they discover something is more difficult than they expected.
I remember back on Lion-O the price went up about 50% once we started. Usually its maybe 5 or 10%.
The only thing you can do is pull it from the factory, but I like this factorys work.
Pricing in general has been rising dramatically since ~2008. Stuff today costs about 130% more than it did in 2008. Some of that increase is passed onto collectors in higher pricing and some is absorbed by us manufacturers with less profit.
At some point the collectibles market may collapse because a typical 1:4 statue will have to be $600.

Sorry to hear about what happened Jerry but I'm glad you decided to keep it and give us the definitive Robocop we've all been waiting for! So you said increase of about 60% so that means this figure really should of costed around $600-700 for you to make the money you originally had planned.. Really sorry that all happened!
I can't believe that there is still less than 25 exclusives left to order but this will sell out this year for sure! Especially once its in hands the other two dozen will go quick..
When is this one looking to be released to us Jerry?? Cant wait to get this piece in hand..
And referring to my bold text, i can see all 1/4th statues being over $500-599 very soon either this year or next, by 2020 collecting like were doing will be very selective and most of us will only be allowed to afford a couple of pieces each year…
