Those who think their favorite toys should not be over a certain price range should not look at it. That way, out of sight, out of mind. Can’t complain what you don’t see. Just saying, just like you want to see quality toys, you need to be ok with whatever price the company set. Who said you need to buy it.
That just seems childish. Not trying to be mean here, but suggesting people not air their opinions is never the right answer.
You can’t deny that this is hella expensive. Let’s look at these facts:
1. MP-36 cost approx 250 USD from most major relevant retailers.
2. MP-41 cost about the same, was about the same size, came with a comparatively appropriate amount of accessories.
3. MP-43 is going to 330 USD, and does come with fewer accessories than MP-36, but will be larger than MP-36 which justifies the price increase to most.
MP-44 will cost 450 USD, will be around the same size as MP-36 if not
shorter, even if it does come a trailer, and will have as many of not more accessories than MP-36.
It seems the precedent for price would be much more palatable at the MP-43 range of 330 USD.
I don’t claim for any of this to be true, but it is what the general audience perceives to be true, and as the saying goes, perception is reality.
