I'm a frequent buyer from Image Anime, since I can travel there by subway, and yeah most of their prices are way too overboard. Their TWE offerings are usually 100 a pop and some of their Sentai figuarts are insane. $65 for Red Buster or for each of the S1 Akibarangers when you can get them dirt cheap at other places is going way over the line.

On the flip-side though, they're one of the best when it comes to bluefin-distributed releases. At least then the prices are in line with every other place. Older Figuarts tend to be reasonably priced as well.
