That sounds amazing! How did I miss this? That's definitely something I feel like I should have heard of! Do you have pictures? Who is it, when does it come out?

Much like how a camera adds 5 pounds, electronics like lights and sounds add $100 to any toy.

Yes and no. Takara\Hasbro only have a finite level of production capacity. The demand is high, but the supply has remained the same - so the price goes up. I don't call that squeezing, its just normal business practice.
At worst, I see this as Takara jumping the gun on eBay resale prices 6 months after the toy isn't available. Only its retail, so somehow it "feels" more painful.
