For a new IP that price point is keeping me away from buying this, especially when you look at the other toys to life brands all of which died off over the last 2 years, the prices of those figures went from being 50e to 5e to 50c in a matter of months, I couldn't justify spending 100e on the deluxe edition knowing that the price could drop 2 decimal points if the brand doesn't take off and in all honesty, after Ubisoft milks this for all they can over the holiday season I predict the game and its accessories quickly find themselves heading towards the bargain bin where I will pick it up.
It does look nice, but you always have to consider how much real estate a game like this will take up inside a game store, shops just aren't going to dedicate an entire aisle to this type of game again, not the way they did for Skylanders and Disney infinity especially not for a new IP with no brand behind it (even the Lego game had a chance because it was Lego based)
I could be wrong with this, but the track record of the genre and the Ubisoft doesn't seem to suggest to me a title which will hold that insanely high price tag for very long.
