LOL, I'm loving how people are at first arguing i shouldn't compare import costs to domestic, despite the fact I've only been comparing MSRP (domestic only, not import prices) and then saying I shouldn't compare now costs vs then costs (despite the fact I've only been comparing 2011 prices). And now everyone is piling in to argue importation costs to their native countries is the only way to compare.
Dat constantly shifting argument just to try and win the argument that McFarlane wasn't offering just as much articulation, paint, QC, etc at their high point for cheap, because someone is butthurt that toys don't need to cost $40-50 to offer what he did in 2011 even today.
>>6324674>my personal experience was most stores were $11-$13Then go with that, because even if you go for their maximum comic book inflated shop prices, the gulf in price points is huge.
>you are comparing modern day pricesI like how you tried to look up Halo prices but didn't for Revoltech/Figma/Figuart prices. DBZ, NGE, Iron Man, etc figures were all 30,000¥+ back then.
>Are they able to live off of less money then other countries? Uh, you kinda have to when things cost so much and your wages are lower.
Still, food is pretty damn expensive over there, just like their toys, and you can compare costs of living here:
