>"This figure commemorates the 3rd anniversary of Iron Factory with an extremely low retail, and special price from Iron Factory to its fans and in partnership with TFSource offering a great introductory price for new collectors to Iron Factory's product and brand, or a great price for existing customers!" Was the quote from his TFW thread, though that price wasn't exclusive to TFS and was elsewhere as well. So, not as such to be a "budget" figure, but more like "an easier step off the ledge."
