Hell Yes I seen him going for over $1000 a lot of the time.

never buy figures over the original retail price (in this case $160) that's a waste of money. then you can better buy a premium format or something. just bought the joker dx11 2.0 sideshow exclusive voor €300 including shipping. but I only did dat because of it was an exclusive

If it's a old figure you really truly want you might have to pay over retail whether you want to or not. It depends on how badly you want the figure and secondly what price are you willing to pay. I've paid over retail for some figures I really wanted like Blade, but I have a ceiling and i'll only go so high. You can't really tell someone it's waste of their money bruh, because you don't what a particular figure might mean to that person.

i think you are partially right, I just don't think the quality is up to the price point they are asking in many cases, that's why i say you can better wait until they bring out a new figure or buy something similair of the same character like a premium format or something because I think then you will get a better value or ''bang for your buck'', plus I think that because hot toys sees that all these figures are going for far above their original retail price on the secondary market they are raising their prices for their new figures as well only because they figure they will sell out anyway and I really don't like that. I have to admit I did it with one figure too and that was Bane, because he was the only dark knight/batman figure I still needed and missed out on at the time because I didn't think he was that cool at the time and started to regret that thought later on (paid €300 for him which I think is way to much especially since I got the joker 2.0 sideshow exclusive for that same price and with no extra shipping costs or taxes because I picked that one up personally) but it's actually against my principles
