Oh man, the Big Jim line is going to be hard for me to resist, even though the figures have been scaled down: Mattel Opens The Vault

And then there were six! I found the Bowen Marrina at a comic shop in the area, and it was nice to pay the original retail cost. Maybe in another 10 years I'll stumble across the twins and Alpha Flight will be complete.

Are you holding out for original price point for them or just can’t find them?

All I’ve seen recently is $200 on eBay, and that’s too rich for me.

So, $100 each. How high have you gone for the others in the set?

So disappointed to read about Eaglemoss. I'd really been intending to get into their Doctor Who figurine collection again by ordering some of the recent companion sets from them. (As they had classic characters such as Nyssa, Tegan, Peri, Romana, Jamie etc)
That's what I get for not doing so sooner!

In all honesty Jason, I’m convinced this is a classic case of
a) expanding too far too fast
b) focussing too much on more expensive produce to the detriment of your core line.
So we had loads of new lines, but they kept coming out @ the £50-60 price point.
People just can’t keep up with that. £10 a ship/figure is one thing, but it was becoming too regular that one ship cost four times as much as the smaller scale lines.
I would have loved to get into the Battlestar & Expanse lines. I didn’t buy a single one because I could not justify that cost to either me or my family. Those were whole lines that I regularly would look @ to see what was being released. Spent ages on the site. But didn’t buy a single one.
Bad business model.
I’m seeing the same with Hasbro & it’s Star Wars line @ the moment. The black series figures are starting to push £30 & up to £50 each now - for a line that was £20. By all accounts, the numbers being bought are not just slowing, they hit a brick wall.
We can buy one of two expensive ticket items in a line, but not a whole line @ that value (Hot Toys notwithstanding, although I have to admit to not being able to figure out how they survive).

Yeah, if that's what they're charging for ships now, I can see how it's all went wrong.
