I already said this on at least two other threads related to merch (the Yellowfang one and the one about restocks) but just as a heads up decided to also do a seperate thread for it now in case anyone on here missed out on the first batch of these two iconic characters getting launched as plushies on the official store. www.shopwarriorcats.com/http://instagr.am/p/Cmg-eO8uyRw Here is my review thread of them as well for reference on how they look "in person": wcrpforums.com/thread/90490/new-plush-review-bluestar-hollyleaf |

aw, it looks like they've had a price mark-up of $5. I suspected as much when they listed Yellowfang for $34.99 instead of the usual $29.99. Even sold out Fire, Scourge, Jay, Bright, and Gray have their prices as 34.99 now. Guess that's just gonna be the norm moving forward. I can understand why, but it's still a bit more inconvenient now :c
Thanks for posting this, though!

Thank you for posting this! I was waiting to get Yellowfang until the other two were restocked just so I could order all of them at once, so I just got them all ordered. Disappointed that they seem to have gotten more expensive, but I have all of the previous Warriors plushes so I wanted these too regardless (and I really like Hollyleaf and Bluestar as characters anyway).

Really disappointing that the price has gone up. I don't want to be negative. Just that considering they're already making an absolute profit on these plushies I find it scummy to see a price raise. But I know that the price was raised likely because they're making a profit on them.
If the character in question had more detail to them, such as longer fur (more material) or accessories (Scourge's collar and claws) then I could understand it better, but for the regular characters I don't find it justifiable. Especially when shipping, at least for me and what I've heard from others, can be gouging in itself.
This isn't to say people should boycott the plushies or something. If you enjoy them there's nothing wrong with purchasing the plushies. I personally just find it rather disappointing.

I feel like the price recently going up might actually have something to do with the current inflation going on. |

I feel like the price recently going up might actually have something to do with the current inflation going on. I hear you. It's absolutely possible as well. I guess I just don't find it particularly justifiable (in my opinion) either way when they make such a surplus off the merchandise they produce and their merchandise isn't the highest quality. I know things like that are subjective though and don't matter when it comes to things like inflation. That being said, I will say that I feel this way too because I'm just somewhat soured on the Warriors Store as whole as well. So my opinion is biased as well. A price that I don't find justifiable can easily be justified by other people and that's okay too! |

I've made a few threads this month in regards to the merch (the overused mini designs in particular) and can remember one of my first threads on here being about "fixing the official merch" lol. So yeah, I totally get what you mean! |
