$500 might be pushing it. I'm sure the scalpers will be asking enough, but I can't see $250 per set right out of the gate. Sure there are guys on ebay pre selling these for around $250/set but I'm sure there will be better deals during/right after SDCC when people have them in hand and want to make a quick flip. I just plan on using the "buy it now" option on these and as early as possible...will end up the cheapest way, as prices will only go up in the following months after the con. If the prices stay firm at approx 250 then I'll only be in for the Turtles and not the foot.
Too bad Playmates can't just sit back and say "Ok. we make toys for kids, our collectors series have crashed and burnt. So let's just let these guys (NEca) have this share of the market and we will continue to capitalize on the young market". Its really time they loosen their strangle hold on the TMNT franchise in the 6" scale. Playmates are the ones that have chosen to cancel two figures the collectors wanted, said their classics line was over and then all the sudden jumped back on board with those awful Secret of the Ooze figures. Makes me sick
