The price is definitely a big deterrent. As for how they got there? I look at the size of it along with some comparable recent vehicle releases. The E Wing, the modified N1 Starfighter, and even the most recent X-Wing have all been priced over $100. So that’s part of the precedent.
Can Hasbro ever re-purpose some of the design assets of the TIE Advanced X-1 for any future releases? I thought that *MAYBE* the wings could be the basis for an updated TIE Bomber, but I’m not completely sure. So if this new Vader TIE is a “one and done” situation? I can see Hasbro using that to justify the price. And we’re kind of locked into that price because items rarely go on sale on Hasbro Pulse.
