$10 x 3 = ...$40?

[♥disney.princess♥]

So I was thinking about Vinylmation, and I realized, if a 3'' is about $10, then why is the 9'' about $40 instead of $30? Is there any logic?

PS: Please don't take this the wrong way, I don't mean to complain at all, I was just wondering about the differences between the 3 and 9 inch other than the size. :)

The biggest (and most valuable difference) is that the 9-inchers are all LIMITED EDITIONS -- and in collectors' world, LEs are much more highly sought after!
Also coming with each 9-inch figure is a nifty little button!

it's just the premium they tack on based on perceived value. If only everything in life worked out perfectly mathematically. =P

If anything since we're buying 6 extra inches, we should get some kind of price break right? =)

Oh, the button sounds cool! But aren't all of them really limited edition, they just arent labeled that way? I mean, since Disney says once they're gone, they're gone, and once a new series, like a park 3 instead of park 2, wont the old ones not be sold anymore?

Oh. Haha, yeah, that's what I assumed, I just wasn't sure if there was some huge difference i didn't know about =P

if you want something worse than that.. add a 3" to that 9" (ie Haunted Mansion or the Incredibles), and it's $75

[♥disney.princess♥]

Really? The 9'' and 3'' ones are 75? Wow, that really doesnt make sense :p

[MaxGoof]

You should also keep in mind that there is *A LOT* more bulk and materials used in a 9" Vinylmation than there is in three 3" ones put together. More materials means more money.

I'm still trying to figure that one out.

[BigAl_PT]

You really can't compare the manufacturing costs of making 3 3" figures versus 1 9" figure. Plus, the 3" figures are produced at a much larger quantity. The larger the quantity, the cheaper it is to make them.

what i have seen which might help is looking at pins .. if they are limited edition they tend to be a little more money a good example look at park series pins which were 2 for 12bucks but when they came out with urban two they were 2 for 16 since it said it was limited release so maybe same works for limited 9" since they are LE the price is a little higher

hmm, what are you spiking your coffee with?

It is all about the perceived value. I mean the plain white ones are the same price as artist rendered copies.........What gives!!
