All I'm saying that whatever Tomy did here is much more forgiving than what HT did to their customers. They seem to have no clue that people who spends the price of an Xbox on a single plastic figure puts a lot of value in its exclusivity. Tomy did the best they could at the price point they charged. It did not feel like greed, but not financially feasible to fix these models. No one here thinks Tomy is laughing themselves to the bank. In fact most people are hoping this snafu doesnt lose them so much money as it would compromise future projects. HT however will always try to make a buck at the expense of their customers with INTENTIONAL false advertising with their "limited edition" BS.
I've been collecting Hot Toys for about 10 years, and even then, most collectors on the Collector Freaks (Sideshow Freaks) forum were already commenting then, that you shouldn't be buying them for investment purposes, or heck even to break even.
I probably have over a hundred figures, and I doubt I could even get half what I paid for them. But I knew that going in.
