g4 I wish that were the case. Given how niche some of these names are and how detailed some aspects are, I believe it justifies some of the cost. Fair, but, $100 for Los Conquistadors has priced me out of that purchase. At that cost it HAS to be figures that I can’t live without. And Los Conquistadors ain’t that. I am in the same boat. He has mentioned before that part of his strategy is to create these rare collectors items for the hardcores to seek out. Judging from eBay purchases, that seems to be going well so far. How does that benefit him? It creates drive for the brand and if he holds on to a few cases, he will be able to sell them for higher prices over the years. Not that he has said that but it kind of seems like a sound strategy. |

This time I couldn't resist to get a Max Moon.
Usually, I always buy 2 figures...one to leave in packaging and one to display loose.
But they are just too expensive, to get 2 of them.

Also charging $20 more than it cost on preorder is a straight up carny move. |

I've checked in a few times and at least twice the "available" count has dropped to single digits and then went back up to 30+. "Extremely limited" seems a little fishy. |

Yoshitatsu looks better then the prototypes did but I don’t have enough desire for the price

La Resistance are on sale and at a more reasonable price too. I really wish he put better pictures of the figures on his site.

Urgh Knew this would happen when he said he was randomly inserting test shots and prototypes into orders. That's a niche of a niche of a niche collector that wants that sort of thing. I feel bad for you, but I called this happening when he first announced his scheme |

Oh wow. I assumed when he said he was doing that it would be in addition to what you ordered. Why would anyone not want what they ordered

I think what he needs to do is either give them away as a bonus or just offer them for sale in his site separately.

Urgh Is it noticeably different out of packaging than on the card? I'm just curious to know what it looks like. Seems like a bit of a questionable idea on his part. |

Problem is KWK is a big collector of test shots etc, and think everyone wants one when 99% of people couldn't give a shit. They are for the collector who has everything and stills wants more.

I also assumed these test shots would be in addition to what you actually ordered. Maybe you can find someone to buy that for more money but even if you can you still do not have what you ordered. |
