Wholesale prices...

...are getting increased again. Not that I purchase anymore, since case packs have gone up to twenty four per figure. I liked it when it was six per case.

The mixed figure assortments and 6 per case packing was pretty good, tho you still had a pretty large minimum order from the wholesaler. I would probably be good for a mixed assortment in a 24 pack case, and the small bump in price per figure might make the minimum easier to attain without adding another case on. The time demands are a bit too high to organize all the orders it would take to purchase several cases of solid packed figures and sell for a hobby. More of a full time occupation thing. EEDistribution is selling the 6 per figure boxes, so you could effectively make a 4 figure mixed full case assortment if you ordered 4 different boxes, but your price per figure would be significantly higher.

Yeah most of the retailers who originally had wave 10 used to be 13.95 each pre order price have slowly increased with each new wave from that to 14.95 then 15.95 then 16.95 and some are now 18.95.

Mego is going to price themselves out if they aren’t careful. One of the attractive things about this line was the pricing. If they start charging boutique prices for figures at mass retail, the law of diminishing returns is going to take over. I’m already narrowing my focus, and will continue to do so with every price increase.

^^^ I don't see the mass retail continue in the long run. It will end up online only eventually.

The clothing construction and detailing are decreasing, but the price is going up. It's a shame, considering their nice licenses.

At that price you may have to do what I did back during the JLU days. Find a Walmart that sells them, buy everything they have (flip them on ebay) forcing there system to reorder and do it again. If Walmart is selling them at $15 sell the leftovers online at $20-30 each.
