    FTC New Website... New Prices?

    Figures Toy Co. has a nice, shiny new website. Unfortunately, you have to create a new account, so it loses all of your past order information, but I think it's a noticeable improvement.

    The other thing that caught my eye was that many of the new figures are "on sale" for $29.99. So the usual price is now the sale price, as the retail price of $39.99 has a strike out. I hope this isn't an omen of an impending price increase. I will say that this is how they have advertised on Facebook for a while, jacking up the price to $39.99, but giving you a deal at "25% Off", bringing the price down to $29.99, or what it was always listed for on the main website.

    Their is one silver lining. The boxed DC S-Type figures are also listed the same way for $29.99. They were previously $39.99. I wonder if that was a mistake by the web designer who doesn't know the difference.

    FTC seems determined to price themselves out of business

      My concern with FTC/CTVT has never been pricing itself, but what one gets for it.

        well, yeah. You'd think they could up their game for more money.

          The old classictvtoys dot com website is still active with the old prices, though. I still have my original account on that site.

            I've unfortunately stopped ordering entirely from FTC due to the outrageous shipping to Canada. Can no longer justify their prices versus Frank Wojo's. Sucks because I'd order a bunch if the shipping wasn't killer.

              There’s a misprint on the 66 window box Batman figures, they were never $39.99 they started at $19.99 and then went up to $29.99 and now back to $19.99 where I hope they stay at.

              I would like to get some more villains and transfer to better bodies like I did with my Joker.

                Why hasn’t FTC made Orion, Mr Miracle and Big Barda yet?
                I ask myself that every time I buy something by them.
