I still want this Murray Franklin set, but $200 is still too much for me. I probably won't seriously consider it unless it gets under $150. Otherwise I'll just continue to do without like I've planned all along when the original ridiculous price for this was announced.
That's terrible, I'm sorry. I too, love the packaging on these Jada SF figures (I do open them, though).
For me, at the end of the day, it's two figures and a cheap plastic backdrop. I don't think I could go over $100 for 'em. Which means I'll never have this set, and I'm 100% ok with that.

When I opened the door and saw it just laying on the ground I thought somebody had started to porch pirate me, opened whatever box it shipped in, saw what it was and gave it back, but nope. Amazon just couldn't be bothered that day.

I can't see a heap of them flying off shelves until some serious clearance deals start to kick in. I'm sure a *lot* of others are in the same boat.
Mafex showed their Arthur Fleck Joker at SDCC. He will probably cost $200+ since he comes with that huge stairs diorama base. Im assuming that is included to help justify the huge increase in price due to rights costs. Every officially licensed figure and statue is insanely expendive, so if Mafexs price is very high then well know this for sure. I think were just assuming for now. I dont know if Deniros is alot since I have the Reaction Taxi Driver figure and it was $10-25. The figure features a Kennerized likeness with the mohawk and the cardback features a photo from the movie before the mohawk.
