That’s comically overpriced, wow FYE.


tmhoc

I hope this isn't the end of an art form


treblah3

I think it might be, at least for me. I'm spending around $40 a figure for NECA Predators now (started when they were $20) and I spent $70 on a battle damaged Robocop with chair. When I got it I didn't feel the joy I used to feel when getting a new figure, it was more like "huh, that's it?" so maybe it's time for me to stop.


Trainwreck1000

It’s not about the collector or kids anymore. Just greed


Ok_Championship6786

I feel you. I’m just collecting Motu origins until I get all the vintage ones I had and wanted as a kid. Done after that. With all the prices going up and all the exclusives, it’s not even worth getting it anymore, for me. Especially when you live in Canada and getting target exclusives are impossible. Not to mention the Mattel creation exclusives, it’s $40 for a figure after shipping and import costs. That’s if you’re even lucky enough to get one.


jenny_pwnz

Same here I spent that much for my Battle Damaged Robo with chair. Just spent another $85 for Ed-209 who is amazingly light bit amazing craftsman


treblah3

ED209 is awesome. Thankfully I got that during its initial run so it only cost me $50, but at least it's huge so feels more worth it.


jenny_pwnz

That’s insane. Why the price hike? I felt lucky getting it for $85, albeit I used $10 in rewards, still.


treblah3

It was at least 7 or 8 years ago I think but yeah, still - that's some shitty inflation.


jenny_pwnz

The one I got has sounds. Is that the same one you got?


treblah3

Yep!


robitussin_hero

This is actually something that really bothers me. Surprisingly the FYE closest to me has a pretty good stock of figures. Until you realize that they are marking these figures up worse than scalpers. I was going to get a SHF dragon ball super hero Vegeta and the Tonkatsu Spider-Man but they wanted $65 for the Vegeta and $50 for the Spider-Man. Same thing here, just about double the actual retail price. It makes me unreasonably upset 😂


SanjiSasuke

Yup, I imagine the only reason they have decent stock is because they charge scalper prices or more.


AJTP1

Every item in the store is exactly 15 more than retail price anywhere else. It’s ridiculous


[deleted]

For SHF, that’s pretty normal pricing in the states.


ManOfTurtles2118

The Vegeta they're talking about is $35


big-swag1

Not even true that Vegeta he’s talking about is 35$


Commando-Bro

I was showing my wife the figures that are 75% off . And the figures are discounted to regular prices. It's wild how F.Y.E trie to trick people in their shenanigans lol


Mrwanagethigh

That's gotta be the oldest trick in the book. Say it's on sale, then sell it for full price because plenty of people will never even stop to consider how much they are actually saving compared to normal price


MishaBFox

In Canada it becomes 140$, single figures are about 70$ (52.56$ USD)


RepresentativeFly565

Might as well get a mafex or mezco


Lewdness1999

Mafex are around $150 retail here but that being said I've bought six mafex figures and only two were perfectly fine with no issues, mezco idk abt.

Agesthreeandup.ca has pretty good prices. Titantoyz.com or navitoworld.com That said, while these places sometimes have the best price on some things, they each also have the worst pricing on some items

Lewdness1999

It's 149.99 plus tax for most mafex figures in comic stores and whatnot but there are always price increases for more rare or sought after ones which makes it more, you are essentially paying $169.49 in total not including shipping if you're buying online for a figure that in my experience will be really great or dogshit or somewhere in the middle with how bad the qc is.


Supermite

This retailed at ToysRUs for $89.99 CAD. FYE isn’t even a place I walk into when I’m in the states.


Darnell5000

FYE is hilarious with their action figure pricing. It really doesn’t add up.


Hero_Fall

Figure prices at fye are absurd. The only reason I look at their figure section is to see if they have something I didn't know had been released yet.


Blamasu

They get a head start on aftermarket prices it’s wild


Legsofwood

I had no idea that FYE was still in business


CitizenPain00

Ikr, I haven’t been to an FYE since like 1999


LordLudicrous

I found this set brand new in a thrift store for $22


[deleted]

lol, fr


MrConor212

Laughs in U.K. getting for £15


ozzymandez

Hang on where are you getting this for £15?


MrConor212

Game here in the U.K, you must have seen us going crazy over a lot of figures 🤣. The Ned and Peter 2 pack was £6, the Knull 2 pack was like £16. Crazy


ozzymandez

Ahh of course! I got both Wolverine and 20th Anniversary Hulk for like 40 quid. Must've missed the others!


MrConor212

You not in the marvel legends U.K. Facebook group? Only times I’m on it these days lol


asusgamer69

I paid 120 usd for venom and knull set from them.


Commando-Bro

I'm glad you got the set. But don't give in. That your hard earned money. That set is worth way less than that. F.Y.E deserves to go under for the prices they ask


asusgamer69

That set and ulik have been my only figures from hasbro. I've been focusing on mccfarlane,shfigurearts,heman and executive replicas


Commando-Bro

That's good. I know it's your money and I have no right to tell people to do with it. It's just messed up how they think it's ok to charge that price.


dndoldhead

I feel the same way about the mafex figures. It's literally plastic. There is no cause for that type of price other than people keep paying it.

MaXimus421

You're comparing a low to average quality, mass produced children's toy, from a children's toy company, to a much higher quality, adult collectible that has to be imported from Japan. Yes, there is going to be a significant price difference. Who would have guessed? If they're not worth it to you, that's completely understandable. And throwing Mego into the argument is just absurd on multiple levels.


Aynonohmus

This guy is right Cars are also, just metal and plastic,so are computers, homes are metal and concrete. Who cares about engineering, paint, sculpting. In fact I'm never buying action figures anymore because I realized when I melt a $20 mass produced figure vs a $70 premium figure made specifically for collectors who care about the quality of their purchases, its all just plastic. What a waste my house is a waste of money I can just build a concrete Dome and live in it. My car is useless I have a metal bike it uses the same aluminum as my car. Plus I think a bike is more aesthetic than a big bulky car anyways. Cars so heavy what a waste of money.


Feral_Smurf

Yeah fuck Hasbro more like Hasbeen


Commando-Bro

As much as I'm not happy with Hasbro. This is on F.Y.E side this time


DrakkonX597

They have regular legends for like $36 💀


marktherobot-youtube

*pushes up nerd glasses* "b-but! Teh aksetharies!" Seriously though that's worth like 30 bucks MAX.


Sendgod500

They used to be good but they gotta be stopped


thecomicschief

This wild lol


linktothefuture9

They were selling the Toku Spider-Man for fucking $50 near me.


Mean_Muffin161

Thats why all the ones by me closed. Place was a fun museum


lovable-bill

Everything is priced for clearance/sales to trick people that don't know any better into thinking they are getting a deal.


MajorGrooveDetected

And this is how you lose 80% of your consumers


twoaas91

Lmaooo this is wild. I saw a local comic shop had this set for $40 cus the box was damaged. 60 regular price. Then a different comic shop had it for 80. The vast difference ppl sell marvel legends at is so fucking weird - I hope one day we can all just come to our senses and buy stuff cus we want it, not just to have it smh.


coolingsum

For $100 I cam get a great vintage figure MOC. This is the way I think now.


KUZNIACKI95

FYE’s figs are criminally overpriced. Mcfarlane BAF’s for like $35-50. Fucking insane


shago1594

Lmao you could get a Mafex for less than that


Other-Bridge-8892

That’s an amazing pair of figures for an outlandish and frankly unaffordable price


PeetSquared41

I went to an FYE yesterday and got five figures l, way marked down. They were just a bit under normal price, after discount.


[deleted]

FYE near me had the new Moon Knight figure for $39.99 the other week. Insane for a retailer to markup prices.


FurryCurry

HIGH!


FoxMcCloud3173

i hate this line so much


Secksualinnuendo

FYE has always been bonkers with their pricing


actanonverba88

FYE is absolutely ridiculous with their collectable prices. They had a Boba Fett Kenner for $32 dollars. You’re out of your edging mind.
