Speculation about Movie toy pricing?
« on: February 13, 2009, 11:14:27 PM »
Just wondering what everyone is thinking about movie toys and pricing for us lucky Canadians?  These are all guesses by me, so don't take them as any informed opinion.

Basic Figures/12":  Should be the same as always up here.

Vehicles:  Ok, we have a couple of price points. 

CLASS A: $16US. $20(maybe) CDN for a single small vehicle & figure?  Is that worth it to you?  Maybe we get lucky and they stay at the same price as the US market.

CLASS B: $25US.  $30 CDN.  I think it is a safe bet that if these are $25 in the US we will see at least a $5 markup.

NIGHT RAVEN:  This is going to be $40 US.  So I figure at least $50 up here.

PIT:  $99.99 in the US and probably the same here at Walmart.  I'm basing this off the AT-TE from last year.

Agreed. I wouldn't pay $6.99 for that thing. Not even for my 2 1/2 year old son. That thing is UGLY!

Most of the movie stuff seems not only undesirable, but likely very overpriced. How can they go from 15 bucks for two figures and two small vehicles to 20 for one figure and one small vehicle. It's robbery. Clearance will probably bring them down into reasonable prices of course. I was really relieved to see how bad the Pit was. Maybe that makes me a cynic but I can definitely find better ways to spend a hundred bucks.

I'm pretty excited with all the new movie products but I'm not that fond of the Accelerator suits and I don't think it will grow on me.
