Was looking at getting some superhero figures & a playset for the kids.

Websites are looking for between $50- $100 for a 12 inch figure.

When did this happen? Are adult collectors pushing up prices due to their income?

I understand toy makers need to make a profit, but sheesh its taking the fun out of getting the kids Xmas gift.

Demand is high due to "adult" kids buying them.

This. They become collectibles. Another investment.

Kids don't have physical toys any more unless you count nigger ball.

Until niggers go away a basketball court is like rotting meat to flies.

Whatever the market will bear. Remember people fighting over cabbage patch dolls? Now you can’t give the worthless things away. Manufactured artificial ‘need’.

I remember one of those imbecilic-looking cabbage patch dolls saying "how dare you!" at the UN.

Already part of the Disney boycott. After what they done to Star Wars, they are not getting one coin out of me.

I'd say that it's a direct sign of inflation. Let's say you make a product, tell the higher ups how much marketing thinks you can price it over the total costs, and ship it. Let's use an example conversion of 400% over the total costs, meaning for every dollar spent, the price of the thing will be 4x of that.

Then all of the upline ingredients, shipping, processing, etc all get inflated, and the higher ups don't wanna lower that conversion rate. So, you raise the price accordingly with the costs! Simple as that

Although I agree there are man children with "real life" money that are now in the market. I recall parents being in charge of how much was spent on toys/action figures, and they'd probably not waste that much on such things UNLESS their wages increased as well. Well, wages definitely do not keep up with CPI-type inflation, so I agree as said with the man-child market

That's about right. The barbie dream house, the standard for girls, is almost $200.

If you want to save money, try Facebook marketplace and buy some used action figures for pennies on the dollar.

Make your own depending on age, better yet get them the tools for them to make their own, depending on age.

Kids still have an Imaginative and creative mind. Let them make their own with their own powers. Otherwise yeah, you're giving money to some cunt who already made up some super hero and the kids will lose that creative ability.
