How about lowering your margin instead of raising the prices all the time!

id much prefer an answer like

-we are increasing quality control to make it actually look like the proto
-we are lowering ES size below 750 to ensure QC remains high and value remains high
-we are making better packaging and boxing to ensure safe delivery
-better quality materials and better paint apps


sideshow is lacking in so many areas compared to other companies but is the only one jacking up the prices so much without fixing any of the REAL issues. sorry, but $200 price increase for just details and cloth on a regular 1/4 with pretty much NO base is laughable.
ok.... to be positive and wishful thinking, seriously if this was true. I would be fine. I mean as some know another company does this already. SS if they can do the same many would feel better paying the 200.00 increase for a pf. I think they can do it if they wanted to. But now it's much more about maximizing profits good or bad. Sure it's great to make more money. Nothing against that. Just wished they did it in a way that would impress collectors and make collecting fun at the same time.

Yeah that's nice but it would be so much easier to NOT do those things AND STILL increase the price. Thanks for the suggestions tho.

Me too, but not for that price.
It won't kill anyone to skip it.
I know people will give in and order it.

Sweet hopefully I can get her for cheap on Ebay. People are still practically begging others to buy their Queen of the Damned.

Ha, yeh the Queen had Es of 3000 I think!!
I dont understand their theory of es for this somewhat 'niche' line.. 2000 for Xiall @ $600 large..??? doesn't make sense to me.
