Probably the current asking price $200-250. It's not like there's a whole lot of options.

I can only get so worked up about plastic bric-a-brac, but I feel a bit deflated. I guess we don't always get what we want.

It's a scalper's paradise when it comes to these figures.

I'd think the Mondos are better figures, quality, and looks included.

Yes. Insanely. No way will you have to pay for these what you did that set of 4. + the aftermarket for their goods is crazy expensive. While the pixel turtles will surely fetch a high price assuming they do in fact have a limited production run with SDCC exclusivity, it may not reach the same heights.

Neither of these sets are freaking out yet. It'll be a while before any of us can rightfully have an actual opinion of any value regarding how the two compare in-hand.

Hard to say. I went to SDCC three straight years (not going this year), and my sense was that very few exclusives were actually rare or hard to find later. In fact, many because available later for less than retail.

Without knowing more about the edition size of these pieces it's just speculation, but my hunch tells me that these sets will be a little tougher to track down. I guess they're worth whatever you're willing to spend. There's something to be said for having a secured preorder, not having to wait in line or go to the event in person, etc.

Not really. When you factor in the costs of attending SDCC and the limit of 2 of each per person.

Not really, unless the sole purpose of going to SDCC was to get these figures. Why can't people put them on for $100- $120? at most. I am not going to line some GREEDY f*~**ers pocket.

You all need to stop talking about price and giving into flippers. They read this **** you know. All your hype is just feeding their pockets.

Randy mentioned on Twitter that these particular items will be SDCC only.

You can't expect to get them for (basically) free... Which is what you're asking for. Yes, you're paying for the figures but think of what else it takes to get those figures from San Diego and into your hands. Your paying for a service which not many people can provide you, and it obviously comes at a premium price. Page 1 of the economics handbook : supply and demand.

If they make a profit off you? So what? They are just taking an opportunity that's been presented to them. Everytime you buy something, whatever that may be, you're "lining someone's pockets".

[Digital Ghost]

So... They're now on NECA CLUB for preorder. Who is attending and wouldn't mind selling me their extra sets? j/k

[HotJuicyBurgers]

3000 sets which is pretty high. Wonder if some of these will go unsold. And what they would do with them if they did...

[Candy Kappa]

Asked about DVD set loophole, no dice. That's a bummer, but at least they are getting released one way or the other.

The license contract seems to be so strict, it's not unthinkable that any left overs might have to be over to next SDCC since they can't be sold on other cons or through retail.

I implied no such thing. I said I would be willing to pay $100-120 for these which is MORE than they are selling them at CC. I would accept the fact you would need to pay a little more to cover there listing fees, etc, and would be happy to do that.

It requires little effort if you are going to SDCC and think to yourself, "Ill buy a couple of NECAs while I am there".

Asking $200- $300 is day light robbery, and if you're foolish enough to spend that on these figures you don't deserve the money in the first place.

There's a reason they say a fool and his/her money are soon parted.

They retail for $100 at SDCC, so yeah you kinda implied such a thing. Scalper or not, a re-seller wants profit for their effort. Measly $20, better to keep them.
