Wonder what the licensing fee from Disney/Lucas Arts was on just 500 units. Saw George Gomez in an interview and he said that they were going to be really expensive after approved unit was finally done. I assume he meant licensing from the way he spoke in the interview. So don’t think this is all Stern on ridiculous pricing.
Get Kapow involved and that licensing debacle shot Beatles and Batman way up in prices too. Think Stern boxed themselves into a hole before licensing was actually completed and approval done. They had promised one and if they didn’t come out with it, they’d have all of us mad at them, but still mad because of high pricing. A no win situation. I do think they way over priced the topper. Too bad all 500 units can’t sit in the warehouse for Stern to learn they shouldn’t do this.
