I expected this set will devaluate after Joker 2.
I'd still like to get this just for the Murray Franklin figure and diorama but there's absolutely no chance that I'm ever going to pay $250 for it.
Shown below via spawntoys209 is an in-hand look at the new McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse Joker Movie Limited Edition Deluxe Collector Set (Live with Murray Franklin) Set is available for pre-order from our sponsors BigBadToyStore.com and Entertainment Earth as well as Amazon with a suggested retail price of $249.99.
Hope we get Gaga's Harley Quinn someday.

I think Sgt. Rock is probably the most absurd victim of this. That said, they're clearly back in the Multiverse line, but it's a little iffier on things like Super Powers. Time will tell, I guess.
However, I do find the Red Hood with finger guns personally hilarious.

This translates to: Walmart and Target were never going to be able to carry these, so we had to jack up the price to account for the smaller-run nature of the product. But at least we stuck in some random papers and novelties that cost next to nothing to produce, so it's totally worth it you guys.
I still think licensing both a-list actor's likenesses is the reason for the high pricepoint.
McFarlane issued this statement about the price
