I'm surprised in fairly quick order how much of the UW/CW series I have picked up. Unfortunately now it is coming down to the more pricey items...so I'll be waiting a while before getting any more.
Sky Lynx for $35 isn't so bad considering that's what the online stores wanted for him.
So I've been meaning to ask. We all know the MSRP for the different sized figures. And the online stores will usually tack on $2 to MSRP, which isn't terrible considering there's no tax. But every now and then, they'll jack it up by much more. Sky Lynx is an example at $10 over MSRP. Does anyone know why? Limited supply? A popular product they know they can sell at a higher price? A bit of both?
Limited distribution is what makes sense to me. Sky Lynx is actually pretty well known for it; if you can find him in-store... well, it's not exactly extremely rare, but you have like... I want to say a 40% chance of finding him? He's not an easy one to track down, so it makes sense why he of all figures would have his price marked up online.
