Yep could have gone a nice vacation and bought 1 on the way home

If something is really valuable and unique I don't think a company should re-release it, at least not the same version

but.............. I am happy it is getting released

Reason why I will never pay secondary market prices.....
I'm happy though cause it does help me get my hands on them and not treat it like gold...it's no fun when you treat them like some frail might brake in your hand piece.....

Yep, I'm going to strap bottle rockets to mine and relive the scene.

Yeah, it sucks if you dropped 1K on this in the secondary, BUT people should know by now that if HT sees one of their pieces raking in a ton of cash on Ebay, they're going to do a rerelease of some sort.

Hot Toys will make money where money is to be made. They don't really care about the secondary market.

I don't flip but it's rare for me to keep one for longer than a year or two. I don't trust that these figures hold up and they usually are coming out with a better version eventually. For example, we'll get a whole bunch of new Iron Men after Avengers and Iron Man 3.
