I have collected nearly every NECA Turtles item - even put down the money on the Turtle Van last year. I kinda wanted this so I just went to the site to order it. 44.99 is really high for a non-electronic prop with all of one moving part. I was thinking it would be 29.99 to 34.99, the price of a standard Turtles figure. But to add insult to injury, it was 14.99 for shipping plus tax. As much as I would like this item, 65 dollars is way too much. Could I afford it? Sure. But I refuse to support this pricing structure. It's not worth that much to me. At that price, I could probably get someone to do a 3D printed version that looked better and add some cheap lighting myself. NECA looks like they are going the HASBRO route. Record profits, so, what the heck, let's jack up prices for squeeze a little more out of our customers. Not happy with that.
