Thanks for the heads up.

I just tried to grab the 12 figures that were still in stock (everyone but Rocksteady) but it wanted to charge me $29 for shipping. Actually, to be more accurate, it wanted to charge me $71 for shipping but they graciously applied a $42 shipping discount in my cart.

K. Nope.

Just a head's up on that -

I bought the 12 ReAction figures too. I paid, after shipping $92.28 out the door. That amortizes to only $7.69 a figure ("only"). So yeah the shipping charge is ridiculous and normally I'd agree with walking away, but you might've shot yourself in the foot by not looking at the bigger picture against the regular price point for these things, you know?

I'd say my personal threshold for these ReAction figures is in that 7-8 dollar range and most, if not all, of the pieces that I have I've basically bought on some kind of discount to get them around that price.

On another note, I wonder why Rocksteady has been sold out? I missed that one too.....

I did go back and place an order after thinking on it and taking out the two disguise figures. I did the same math and yeah, I figured if I saw these on ebay for $7.69 apiece I never would have hesitated.

Hopefully there will be a cheaper avenue to get some of the other figures in the line now. I'd love to get Casey, Rocksteady, and the last wave that was revealed (especially Slash).

Welp, I just got 10 shipping confirmation emails, so I guess this is going to work out after all! I'd be very curious to know how NTWRK was able to offer these so cheap, especially the Ultimates. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for more of these in the future.

But... this is not a new collection, this is not a new collection, this is not a new collection...

Me too.

Best guess is that they followed whatever model places like QVC use to buy their sort of "weird but desirable" products over the years. That NTWRK app is basically a modified-for-the-times QVC channel.

Also, there might've been a general Super 7 liquidation of some kind given that BBTS had a significant number of ReAction stuff big time discounted as well - like basically the entire MOTU line.

reaction needs a price decrease. they need to have these figures in the $10 price range. McFarlane and marvel and wrestlig figs are just about the same as these reaction figs

That's not the Super7 way. Their model is to produce things in such low numbers that they become extremely expensive to manufacture. They then pass that expense onto the consumer collector with FOMO. /sarcasm

When they started this line with the Alien figures they were $10. Since then collecting and production costs have taken off though, so here we are at $18 apiece for 5POA figures in flimsy packaging. Hurray!

My figures are scheduled to arrive on Monday and I'm pumped. I think I need to cut them off the cards immediately so I don't have the urge to keep them sealed. I don't like the artwork anyway so hopefully that won't be too difficult.

That's where I'm at nowdays - I've got so many sealed, carded figures it's ridiculous. Even worse when you account for "collection" and "inventory".

I'll open these and then file them away waiting for a rotation into the display at some point.

I've favorited all of these to watch for sales and such. I really want this wave but they're still not worth anywhere near the asking price. It's also really weird that they gave these guys all slightly bent knees, whereas the rest of the line all has straight legs.
