I'm hoping for a decent deal on case pricing, like we saw with the desert and arctic sets. Even if these price out to be roughly $10 more each than those sets (outrageous but not an unprecedented one-year hike for the industry), a ten buck discount on five of each set would make it worth my while.

I'm all for that if the case is something like 3:1 Cobra to Joe. That could work as an online-exclusive case assortment. I only want one Joe set but I'll take 2 extra Mindbenders to get the other Cobras in multiples.

If it mirrors the extreme environment case arrangement, it will be 1:1x5. So folks who just want the Joes will find bargains a plenty, I suspect.

Well at least we know they'll be using the Para-viper gear set again with Altitude. I wonder if he'll come with an FN FAL.

I'm basing this off current market prices.

Currently the joe figs are around 8.00. 8 x 7 is 56. Based on that, I could see them selling this for 59.99 or more.

What were the extreme conditions packs sold for?

They were $34.99 each, but you could find them for slightly more or less, depending on where you shopped. The best price was from the club, by the case.

Actually, if you pre-ordered them from BBTS, you could've gotten them for $29 each and, if you ordered the case of 10, you effectively got one set for free. Shipping was a bear, but it still beat popping for the club membership fee to be able to order at officer prices.

Subsequently the prices at BBTS went up (not sure if that's an indication of limited supply or not).

My Extreme Conditions sets came from Entertainment Earth. I remember them being $27 if you bought the set, but its now up some. The only disadvantage is I had to wait two weeks longer than those of you who got yours from BBTS.

They normally jack their prices up after an item comes in stock. And then if it's selling well and they start running out of stock the price goes up again. Then if something sits and doesn't move the price drops. Kinda like an actual stock market stock. Demand equals higher price.

I'd imagine these will be in the same price range as Extreme Conditions, maybe $5 more or so to account for the new tooling. Depending on whether they are mass-market releases (TRU, Evil Empire, Target) or online exclusives like the EC sets. With these being all new characters I'd imagine they'll be released everywhere but they put Short Fuze in a Target exclusive set so who knows.

Not that I can find and I check their site every day. Yes I'm obsessive about it.

It's not up at BBTS yet, but it is up at toyrocket. That is where I pre-ordered my set from.
