A more practical question... what is the target price for this year set (so we can budget a bit)?

CANADA DAY BONUS ANSWER
Due to a HUGE increase in costs for parts, original head castings (to be shown later), etc, plan on a cost of $180 this year for the set (Canadian). We guarantee it'll be worth it, and honestly wish we could do it cheaper. In truth, we should be pricing it higher.

You guys know I'm only answering "these" type of questions since they don't really have anything to do with the con set items, right?

AT the convention - as of RIGHT NOW, no. I'm looking into something for the con - but it's doubtful.
ONLINE - you can use any major credit card VIA Paypal. This doesn't mean you have to have a PayPal account, just that the payment will be processed through PayPal.

Yes I know you are answering "these" types since they aren't set specific.  Totally taking advantage of the opportunity here.  And thank you Mike.

O-ring or ME?


SUNDAY ANSWER
Unless Hasbro starts producing figures with an O-Ring again, expect all figures to be Modern Era (25th style) figures.

Well, thank you!

Here's one from left field.....do any of the figures have an animal companion?

MONDAY ANSWER
"Animal" companion? No. Not this year.

Considering how basic figures nowadays go for $10 at retail (in the U.S.), I am sure the price increase is completely justifiable and compared to the amount of work being put into the set, it will still be considered a bargain. Thanks for the heads up!
