I certainly do think it will be a beautifull sight to behold when it's all said and done but i need more beer to suspend my inhibitions about blowing such a huge amount of cash on it.

$100 is close to a month's rent for you? I've got to move to Canada...

It's a little unfair to compare to FP as they are undisputibly the best 3rd party company, but even FP's trailers cost about $100 when you factor in the figure you absolutely must buy in order to use them.

That's just mean. No independent is going on a walmart shelf. I'd say as a third party, 50 or under on it's own. But one thing everyone is ignoring is that 3rd party companies are not created equal and are not subject to competition (yet). Unless you have a some inside on their infrastructure and resources, TFC may not be able to make retailable batches of this size class for less than 100.
Either way; regardless of who you're talking about, price of admission is just another part of being a patron of a 3rd party (or any) company. We KNOW most from iGear pushes 100. We know FP skews cheaper, and they do because that's what they're comfortable with. It's just the rules of the game.
Am I happy with 100 for Exgraver? Of course not. Nor am I thrilled the rest of Hercules' awkwardly named members will hold this pattern. But if I'm going all in (kind of the point here), I can safely bet TFC's prices will be the best I'm going to find. The gods of clearance are too fickle to gamble on.

You claim to understand folk's reasons for going for this figure. You ackowledge that we can do what we want with our money. And yet you insist on repeatedly arguing that we are wrong to invest based on your reasonings. You have every right to your own beliefs, and they certainly solidify your username. But a good argument need only be expressed once, not several times, and now you're boring me. You've expressed your opinion. Now give it a rest.
