The price was down to $13/set last year and now you can get it for $9.90. They must be getting down to the last several sets by now.

Who is "they" that are still selling these?

I had assumed some individual unconnected to the company ended up with the remainder of the sets somehow but someone here thought that the seller may be the original manufacturer.

Originally there was only supposed to be 300 Machete factory sets made. It debuted at the 2013 NYC Comic Con and was $250 with the Lohan autograph cards that were limited to 100 copies each. Later on the set was offered for $125 without her card.

Although there was talk of another autograph to cover the next 100 sets, I guess it didn't happen. There are unsigned autograph cards for Danny Trejo, Don Johnson and Michelle Rodriguez on Allender's checklist. So it seems like this was planned as a nice niche product, but maybe it got overestimated in price as a package deal. The Lohan autographs certainly sold.

Its hard to see how anybody still has sets remaining after 8 years and discounting more than 90% on a 300 card production run though.

They might have sold some sets at the crazy price but moved a lot more at $35. I get the feeling someone else ended up with what's left at some point and is content to unload the rest over time. I'm not sure even news of the third movie going into production would speed up sales. It remains a slow seller even at 10 bucks.

I can't believe they were unable to sell out even at $10 a set. I was going through some stuff and ran across one of these I didn't even remember I had. Too bad, it was cool to see a new company going after new and different licenses.
