That sort of change would likely be conditioned on several years of trends and increases in automation efficiency. It is possible if labour prices in Asia keep growing (likely given standard of living and demographic shifts of falling birth rates).

We don't know what 2022, 2023, 2024 will bring. We could see shipping fall back, stay steady, or continue to climb. Until that uncertainty is cleared up I don't see anyone disrupting their manufacturing model. Come 2025 we may see this play out and companies react in some way.

Classic Ordered. Now the long wait.

The dc Collectables flash looked great. I went ahead and preordered the classic.

A year of rising costs everywhere happened, especially shipping.

From Twitter: "We hope the community understands the price increase is due to many factors out of our control, the biggest being the shipping container shortage which results in much higher costs of getting this product out of the factory & the rising costs of production and materials overseas."

I'll wait for the reg, probably via SS next Black Friday

I will be doing the same if a Flash I like better comes out.

I think the figure portion is better, but Flash running on a treadmill isn't going to pair nicely with much of anything, not even their own reverse flash.

Ordered the Classic version. I love both colors though. The dark red is real nice. I also love the pose. I too think he is a bit musculature but it's a real nice statue anyways.
This probably is it for me with Tweeterhead DC as the prices have gotten too high and I doubt they will ever top their Superman 2.0 and Batman. The new WW, or what we've seen of it, does not impress me so yeah, this should do it. Goodbye.

Wow. I was expecting a price tag of $375. The 1/4 from SSC is only $90 more. With containers being so expensive now, I wonder if Chad has considered learning to paint.

I was just looking at my orders and noticed I paid $325 for the Superman EX from the TH site back in February. I wonder what changed in the past 10 months.

That is a special treadmill built by Starlabs that is designed to withstand extreme speeds. Flash is using it to open portal in time. Ofc reverse Flash will be a match.
They don?t nevessary have to have identical bases.

No rush for me too. I like the REG better.

These rising prices is going to be a problem, tho. I kinda wish I just stayed with my initial plan ....to just collect the Teen Titans from Tweeterhead. Now I'm in it for the core Justice Leaguers.

[Sonic Boom]

Argh. I just realized I can't order the modern color from TH. With tax and shipping, it'll run me over $500 from SSC.
