Pulse is still an etailer though. They aren't a wholesale outlet, you can't even buy full cases. They have as much overhead as bbts or ee, they all buy at bulk wholesale price. It's like with haslab, if they made it regular release, it would just sit on shelves/warehouses, costing retailers money, until they clearence them out. This playset is unprecedented, usually we get a wall, and a pack-in figure, but this is much more, with 50 accessories, some big but mostly smalls. It's hard to really put a value on it. If I hadn't already made a jabba's palace, I'd definitely get it. It sucks when you put a lot of effort into making something, then hasbro makes the same thing, but better.
The fett tax is perplexing. It has to be something other than "greed". The fett figures are about $6 overpriced, which is nearly 50% increase, its not like were not going to notice it. In my business, if prices get too high you start loosing customers, there's a balance. You can't just jack up prices to whatever you want. Maybe they think they can get away with it, with boba fett, but they're being too obvious about it, if that's the case
