| lucidium said: Please tell me you're not seriously hoping it'll be just $4 per figure? will be like every other figure based system, will start off $15 a figure, the popular stuff will stay that or go higher and the characters nobody likes will be all over the place and drop in price to try and sell. Expect luigi to be $8 all over the place and nobody wanting it, Samus barely anywhere and going for above retail when you do find it. that's just how figure based shit goes. |
Perhaps, I was mostly basing that $4 figure on Nintendo's past behavior with Pokemon Rumble U. It doesn't seem to have that pricing anymore, as many places have stopped selling them and the price skyrocketed as a result, but I've seen multiple quotes of $4 by different people. I remember reading some user reviews saying as much, like one guy saying that though the game was crap, his kids enjoyed it, and for $4 a toy it wasn't too bad, so he thought it was worth it to buy for your kids if they're interested. Another user on here was saying that they started out at $4. I honestly don't remember because I payed no attention to the game when it released, but it seems the figurines did indeed cost $4 each. So yeah, I'm seriously hoping for $4, but that doesn't mean I expect it. Even if we're lucky and Nintendo repeats its past behavior and it does release at $4, I'm sure the more popular figurines will go up in price, as you said. But if we want Nintendo to make a Star Fox game, it wouldn't be too bad, since the Fox and Falco figurines probably won't sell well enough to rocket up in price. Even Luigi will be more popular than them, thanks to the influence of Luigi's Mansion and the year of Luigi. Samus might be hard to find though, but Nintendo would have to be insane not to make a Metroid game, so I'm not worried about that.
