Are there any rumblings of them making an Ada? Or do you guys think Leon and Claire are pretty much it?
Can see Ada happening but also not. They took so long to announce a Claire...so we could be waiting even longer.

Meh, I think the Master Team figures are good enough I don’t need to upgrade them. Initially thought the UB Toys Claire was too, but after looking at her for a bit, there’s a lot wrong with her.

There was no price reduction by a vendor. They were just getting hit by a lot of complaints about it being $100 over everyone else. 😂

Still is a fair bit more then most retailers lmao but the $4 shipping if you get get all three together (I think) kinda helps.

That email almost seems fake though.

It’s not, it’s from Raven. BBTS has slowly become a scalper over the years. It’s only with certain things and in certain situations, where it’s obscene. However, they are now the highest merchant for any retail release, I’m fairly sure of it.

The $4 flat rate shipping and pile-of-loot system are great, but I guess this is now one of the drawbacks. As much as I have loved using the company since day one, it gets tiring seeing their shady side more and more.

I know it wasn't fake, it's just the way it was worded did not come off as professional. And you're completely right. I wouldn't say highest overall but top of that list yeah.

It's crazy how we consider this a drawback, when it just shouldn't happen.

Love how all these franchises keep alienating their fanbases—specifically, their longtime, original fanbases. Sure, we still buy shit, but we are becoming more selective of what we buy.

I’m sorry, but the woke agenda is not profitable in the long run. Getting clicks and likes by the woke mob does not equate to a profitable franchise backed by thousands, if not millions, of loyal fans. You have to retain the loyalty.

I guarantee you no one wants a shirt with this version of Wesker on it. Nor do they want a figure. He looks like a shitty version of Blade. And Blade is a badass character.

Oh man I was wondering if I was the only one who thought Blade at first.

Not only that but most of the woke people I know can barely afford merch these days so it REALLY isn't worth it. I don't know why Capcom and other creators go so out of their way to alienate us with this. When RE was in its worst state (post RE6 world), the long time fans were the ones holding it together.

I could understand going for the crowd RE7 got or the casual/newcomers (which I'm still not a big fan of for reasons), not THIS. This is...bad. Especially since Welcome to Racoon City had this problem and it was known for being reviled.

I just want RE merch and that's it. The Prime 1 RE3make stuff is really freaking cool tbh but way out of my budget.

tbh I do wonder what's gonna go on with the series at this point. We're on RE4make now...CVmake would have been ok.

I don’t see how anyone justifies paying for statues these days. You must be making $100k a year, easy. Even just buying a few a year is way out of most people’s budget.
