It's a business. Incentive for Hb to release these plastic crack is that enough
suckers fans who'll gobble them. Made more sense to buy the figs when they were first released in Japan/Asia.
Seems like them corporate slugs at Hb saw how many fans imported them so they ,Hb, sold these domestic releases to TRU at such a high mark up.
I have been pilloried for encouraging fans to support the Hb products such as the Titans series so as to "incentivize" Hb to release more cityformers but the pricing really takes the cake.
I mean, if it the same m0r0ns who greenlighted the gosh d@mn awful gold colored YOTH Laser Primes and slap on them astronomical prices in the hopes more moneybags fans would bite the bait?
