It is, but to say production costs have nothing to do with it? Since the aquision by Disney and the take off of the MCU I'd hate to see the licencing fees alone for Marvel products.

No I can't agree with that. Production cost is a major component of what determines selling price. I don't see how anyone can't see this.

LOL!
I could not agree with you more Punisher.. I hope Sideshow will reveal more about Juggernaut soon!
'Nichts kann den Moloch stoppen... NICHTS!' and I hope the big boss man will make his long awaited entrance shortly.
Good things come come to those who wait but to be honest Juggernaut has never struck me a very patient man...
I therefore trust he will not keep us waiting for too long.

idk man, jordans cost about 7-20$ to produce but on average sell for 180+, shoes and statues are completely different so probably not the best comparison but often production cost is way way less than what we pay for stuff.

Yes. I look at the invoice at the grocery store we sell things for 100.00 like face creams but the price the store pays is 10-12.00 each. The highest is like 17.00 but we sell for 100.00 each.

Thanks for the insight Darren. Your are the book on pricing strategy.

Tell that to the housing market in Southern California.

For Darren I think we should get him such extra foam in his box. Make it an even $1800

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

The increases are happening for an obvious reason. Production costs have increased, yes. We see that price increase because sideshow obviously isn’t going to take it out of their profit. In addition, what people are willing to pay for these dictates the price. Not what they have paid in the past. When folks are ready and willing to pay more for these products... why would sideshow price it lower than the publicly perceived “acceptable price”.

It’s a business. McDonald’s “We sold a lot of cheeseburgers this month. Let’s up the price from $1 to $1.50”
