I think they used Reeves Superman to "test the water".. eventhough so expensive still sells like hotcake.

Then okay lar, sell Keaton's Batman with even higher price and see how well it sells...

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I think should be okay, since these 2 is the only superheroes I dig since young... wait.. still got Robocop.

"mess-up" "mess-up" "mess-up" "mess-up" "mess-up"

Reeves had the donation factored in.... Keaton is selling at the cheaper DX02 price in hong kong & japan, while Jack Nicholson in on par with Reeves.... & the price for Keaton/Jack Nicholson shot up for the "foreign" market..

There would be 3 reasons for the price hike:
1. HT hiking price for foreign market.
2. Middle-man & Retailers hiking.
3. Shipping/logistic hiking.

Gov. tax unlikely as there was no announcement or drastic change in policy.

If so, then all future HT figures will be high priced (drastic difference with HK's). I'm more incline to say a factor of all 3 involved.
