  • I'm on the fence. If I really, really like the high end package I'm still in but it's gonna hurt. 0 votes
  • If i like the theme, I will still buy, but will step down to a lesser model (e.g., LE down to Premium, Premium down to Pro) 7 votes

In light of the recent price increases made by Stern and JJP on their most recent titles, I'm curious how it will affect your purchasing decisions. Are you still considering NIB purchases?

I can think of a lot more "fun" things to do with that kind of money.

I will admit that I love the Batman pin; it's gorgeous but not worth what they are asking. As far as the Dialed In pin, well, it's just odd, and coupled with the price (which I think is insane), no sale. I believe these manufacturers only see dollar signs and have forgotten that it was the collectors that kept them viable during the tough times. And how do they pay us back for our loyalty? By raising their prices exponentially!

I am voting with my wallet and will not support JJP or Stern at these prices.

Agreed. I'm out too.

All those years ago. Playing these games in crappy bars. Never thought I'd be bitching about how much this shit would cost.
