>>11026978I think your using a strange average number, as ~$40 is closer to the real average. What figures go over $40? A lot do, but by only a few bucks, such as sisters, custodes, even some of the new terminators. What goes even higher? Ignoring the mechs and primarchs, it's usually a big character spike, such as the 10th edition chaplain in terminator armor, but that's a whole lotta unique sculpts, plus some extra paint apps, and even extra accessories (has alt head, and 4 items to go in his hands). The generic terminators are at ~$50 each, with one having a whole extra beacon, while the other has a huge as fuck gun!
And what's on the LOWER end of $40? Every normal human, except for some sisters, a million space Marines, the tau infantry (if you break apart the 4 pack), most of the necrons (including the entirety of the two packs), and now a termagant.
I think you are forgetting how many cheap figures there are. Hell, the super basic intercessors, that still come with a rifle, a pistol, and a chainswords, are like $18 anywhere. Star wars vintage collection figures are now $16.99 retail, and those are usually a guy, their main weapon, and maybe a side arm, if that isn't already their main, and maybe a helmet/alt head.
On AliExpress and their prices, it's a bit of a mix of both, as you do always get the best prices there by default, at any time, you can also get HUGE discounts at certain times, which is sort of accepted as the correct way to use Ali anyways, so it's sort of on you for not doing exactly so.
