....and yet, still can't stop looking at the preorder page on TFSource, saying to myself 'but it lights up.... And you don't have to mod it yourself.... It's only the price of a TFP Takara Arms Micron.... Go on, add to stack... ADD TO STAAAAACK!!!'

I really need to work on my OCD / completionist reflex...

And this is coming from a guy who JUST NOW bought PE's God Sword. Yeah, I think that $75 accessory is more worth it than this one.

Its weird how we judge simple plastic goods over others, simply down to the manufacturer.

Not to say that $40 isn't ridiculous for an already- mass released head with a bit of wiring in it!

Btw, where the hell was Crossfire sets retailing at $40? I would guess I paid between $50 to 60 each, back on original release, not including shipping...

Hopefully the new Fansproject Core Subscription service will keep prices down for initial runs, at least..

Okay, I misremembered. You're right on those prices.

And yet, compared to the price of just one of those sets it seems excessive. Even compared to their other heads it's excessive. I don't see how it could possibly cost more to product than their Herc head.

Here's the original news article for their G1 Devy head. $12! Let's just assume that, with shipping, it's $20. Here we have a larger head, with original sculpting, PLUS the bottom attachment part and it's HALF the price of this thing. And this doesn't even come with its own bottom part, like the the original Collosus head. This is why this price infuriates me. Were the price reasonable, I'd definitely bite, but it's ... crazy.
