And their sh figure arts line, so they charge you $50 $40 dollars for an (UP SCALE) size figure. But then go behind you back and sell pic related for $7 at a drug store with more articulation and possibility wtf.
yeah man why would i buy a pizza from a pizza place when i could just buy a freezer pizza for less? the freezer one might even have more toppings
>>1187205315 years ago American retail companies instituted in store management bonus systems. These systems are extremely exploitable and you can leverage the fact that you "earned" these bonuses to get promoted. Today you have people running these major chains that don't actually know how to run a business and so they push these insane 50-80% clearances on "loss leaders". That's half of it. The other half is that the more you manufacture a figure the cheaper it becomes. Retailers committing 40000 orders lowers the cost.
>>11872068Interesting, I have no retail experience so I like hearing from people with more knowledge. But there's so many people who have worked in these stores that know more about the inner machinations.
>>11872053The quality of the line as a whole has gone down to subsidize the massive print runs and competitive pricing on these mass appeal figures.
>>11872053Where can I find the seven dollar figure please
>>11872162Best Buy. I got a Goku for $15.
>>11872053So you bought an item at full price, then you see it on clearance somewhere. ok. Ross was selling some Naruto SHF's too
>>11872296I think that's the ultimate legends luffy, naruto and something else have em too. dragon ball has them as well but use a different name
>>11872053>UP SCALEBit disingenuous desu. The figuarts has a lot more parts and is definitely better value for money. Its also not $40.
>>11872564>>11872574Yeah, OP confused a bunch of people ITT making them think he got the SHF for $7 lol.
>>11872574Nah, most of the basic Luffy Figuarts are about $40 bucks. I been waffling on the Onigashima version for years and he's never been over $50, not even at cons. But other stuff always win out over him.
