X-Men Animated Series (1992-1997) Resin Busts General Discussion

[DSTZach]

Not a full line cancellation, we just need to resolicit Prof. X at a new price. Unfortunately, we got our factory quote back late and we can't do his chair at the solicited price.

Oh… that’s a relief!
It may come in more expensive? I hope not that expensive. I really want this line to finish through and through before we have any variants or repeat characters again.

Hopefully Storm is still scheduled for release.

[DSTZach]

Storm is still on schedule. Xavier will be more expensive, for sure. No other character repeats I am aware of, there was a Magneto variant but I'm not sure when or if we will offer it. So it's all new characters, going forward.

The fact you come in here and assuage our fears is amazing, as always. Thank you!

Okay great. thanks.

I just got told by DCBS that Storm will be going up in price for people that had already pre-ordered her. It was a significant increase to like $80 IIRC, due to manufacturing cost quotes coming back higher than DST expected. (I'm don't have access to that email right now to confirm the exact quote on the increase, but that was the ballpark.) I realize all prices are going up with the current world state, but this is kind of crappy. I fell like companies shouldn't announce the price and have people pay for it (pre-orders at some retailers like DCBS require payment in advance) before you have the actual manufacturing costs confirmed. This stinks!

That doesn't sound right. If a price changes we usually resolicit. I'll look into it.

Hey Zach, here's a copy of the email if it helps, and I was wrong it's even worse than I remembered. It's going up to $89.99(!!!) MSRP, according to DCBService. Thanks for looking into it!

[DSTZach]

Double-checked, and that is correct. Sorry, I was not informed. Costs on busts seem to be going up overall, entirely due to rising costs in China, plus rising transportation costs. Unfortunate, but still a fair value, I think.
