As someone from Northern Ireland (the UKs armpit) where we only have 4 TRU's & 6 Smyths in the whole of the country I wish we'd all stop the bishin and moaning. That's far to kind to some of the shyteholes in England!!

Everything is more expensive than it used to be & It's not going to change anytime soon. I too was disgruntled with last year's price rises in the UK I was downright aggrieved at DM Macho being £32! But you're all going to have to suck it up or stop collecting. I went with the later for around 8 months & then the AJ figures started dropping & I was sucked back in. Shopping around helps, not immediately rushing out & buying everything as soon as it's released helps. You are going to miss out on some things & as a recovering completionist I feel for you but if you still have the passion you'll find a way to make it work. I'm not coming for anybody I'm just kind of sick of the consistent dismay on the forum. If you really want something stop moaning & find a way. This is a good attitude to have. We all know it's gonna be reduced, so unless you're willing to wait, just bite the bullet and pay full price.

The main issue for me is not the rrp, it is if the product makes retail over here in the first place. Inflated price, shipping and import fees from the US make the exclusives ridiculously expensive to obtain over here.

I refused to pay £27.99 for the DM Macho Man when he first came out - as I was sure he'd be reduced in no time (which he was). Same with the EG Angle... I think they're testing the waters, pricing it at £32.99 - they're not going to sell many at that price, so I don't mind waiting a few months until it's reduced.

Exactly & when they don't sell they will be reduced and that's when I'll pounce ha in regards to DM Macho I think he started at £32 then got reduced to £27 then £24 which is slightly more reasonable but currently I think the entertainer has him for £14ish and tesco direct had him for £19.99 so of course it depends how badly you need the fig but if you can wait there are bargains to be had. But alas that approach backfired with DM Naka & I missed out so it's hit & miss. But when I saw NXT Naka in Argos I pounced ha. Collecting is a game, I'm still enjoying playing.
