Would you support a few dollar price increase on basics (say maybe $12.99-$13.99) if they came with accessories?
I am gonna be honest, despite being the topic starter, I don't think I could don't for every set. I'm just curious to see what you guys think. I do like the Then, Now, Forever basics coming with accessories and would support maybe a few sets a year being packed liken that. But not every one. What say you?

I love being able to buy Basics for $10
But yes every so often a couple $ increase to include some decent accessories, I'd say yes

Nope.
I don't buy basics too often, but I think even $10 is overpriced considering Jakks were less and came with accessories (even if Jakks are all basically garbage).
$7-8 is a great price, and Elites could drop a bit if you ask me (back to $17 tops).

I'm not buying basics.
Ever.
Unless they have BAF parts included. And even then I'm not thrilled about it

Naw. They need to keep the Basics at decent prices so parents and kids will still buy them.

I don't buy many Basics but I'd rather have a bump in price for more articulation rather than accessories.

Listen, the accessory packs are 4.99 at retail and they have a bunch of accessories and it has its own packaging.
Unless they are cloth, an accessory shouldn't cost a few dollars.

I wouldnt want it all the time. Even elites start to get random with accessories just to have them.

No. I picked up the TNF Jericho only because of the fact that it contained an accessory for the regular basic figure price. Same with the gold chase belts. If they raise the price of the figure due to the accessory, I'm out. The only exception I'll make is on the BAF figures.

No, it will also never happen. doh... Never say never...it kinda happens already with baf ... glorified basics with accessories don't get me wrong if they can be found some of them are worth it but there were some terrible figures released to build Booker T and a few others.. Lol... |

I would be in favor of the basic figures coming with BAF parts at 12.99 or 13.99 if the lineups are half decent. I think the basic Iron Sheik and Orndorff and blue Honky should of been in the BAF Bearer or Mean Gene waves

No
All of the series are borderline too expensive as it is.
I'd love to see more accessory packs released to coincide with Elites that don't come with some accessories.

Just threw it out there to see the response which seems to be an overwhelming no. Considering basics have held close to the same price at most stores for over five years without having accessories, I could see no other solution than charging more. Of course, my ideal situation would be the price to stay the same or go down and have accessories. Well, at least we have Battle Packs.
P.S. I do wish they had better accesories, or at least a better variety. Jakks most definitely beats Mattel on creative and better detailed weapons. Not belts, but weapons for sure.
