How in the hell can these sellers even know that they can get one? I remember when the Gunmetal one went up, he sold out so fast that most people couldn't get one.
Same thing with the T-1000 as Sarah Connor. People were paying ridiculous money for them online last year and then a few weeks later Sideshow put them up for retail.

The pricing on eBay has always been stupid.

Cool-looking but how in the world is Hot Toys stuff fetching so much on the aftermarket?

Because this will not be sold at SDCC only. They will be available in HK Ani-com, Singapore Toys and Comic Convention, and some other convention in Japan.
I wouldn't worry too much about missing out. Much like the infamous Guardian Predator, in the end, everyone who wants one will get one.

I just can't imagine a toy company trying to maximize profits on a very hot property such as Iron Man. Why wouldn't they sell as many as they can. I see this as selling out, prices start high on the bay, then dropping to initial retail, then eventually climbing back up...

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

i dont.

personally i dun see this version of Iron man ever showed up in either IM1 or 2 movies. Plus the "grey suit mark iv" isnt the Stealth iron man either. So wats the point of owning this piece, unless u r just a mad fan of Iron man armor suits. If thats the case then u can buy it if u want to complete all armors out there.

For me a definite to buy is the Mark II unleashed version . tats a kick ass IM II armor, plus they showed it on IM2 movie.

i think HT decides to make this secret project version, cos people had been bragging about the "gunmetal IM armors"

in my opinion, save ur money
