Quoted from DaveH:

The price from a distributor has nothing to do with the value of the game. Unfortunately it also has nothing to do with this fame either. They have to continue at full price, because if they discount it down to the market price, they would also need to discount the price of other games. For instance, remember a couple years ago when the older games like TWD Pro raised to the Price of the brand new games? NIB TWD Pro went up a thousand dollars (street price) during its run.
If they sell you that Hulk for what it is worth, they won’t sell new games. Everyone will just start waiting until the close out price. Remember the example of Ripley’s? Stern changed almost all of their processes after that to avoid games being blown out the door.
And finally, if word got out that you paid a dist $5500 for a NIB LE, they most likely wouldn’t be a dist for much longer. It’s not 2010.
So all this to say, if that is the game you want, put out feelers and look for a nice HUO copy of the game.
