They aren't repackages. They're brand new decos. I'll probably top out at about $100 shipped for all three based on the apparent availability.

My theory is that the factory/factories have been sitting on these for a couple of years since they were made and canceled. I have a feeling that this is abandoned stock which the factory/factories are now selling via Chinese auction sites.
The ones I'm selling appear to be intended for the Mexican market, not Target like I had originally thought.

The first part sounds like a plausible explanation, but why wouldn't Hasbro sell them through, say Hasbro Toy Store instead of esoteric (& sketchy?) Chinese auction sites? I for one don't trust sellers from overseas.
