Heck I've even seen Bubblebee KO's going for $30! That's a figure that was re-released just a few years ago (Mind you it was as a keychain) and was seen in Wal-Marts as early as last year for $10 or less!
If the company making these thinks it can make a superior product that demands such high prices, then let it come up with an original idea to showcase this talent and not just copy what someone else did
I agree. I'd have army-built fake Insecticons and Sharkticons if they'd been $20-40 cheaper but since they're charging the same prices as if The Bro had re-issued them, I was like, eh, nah. I guess they decided to be their own scalpers.
I am hoping that Takara Encore does Insecticons soon. I think I'll decorate my office at work with nothing but Insecticons. Dozens and dozens of Insecticons...
Oh, and I found the Bumblebee and other G1 mini-car keychains at Wal-Mart just a few months ago for like $3 each.
