I love how Takara are like "Those PCCs? Ummmmmm..no. But the minicons, there's potential."

$50 each? Are they insane?

$50 a pop for such a small thing is a bit hefty for me. Even bigger considering the shipping costs. Love to have them but too pricey.

If Donald Trump was my father I could afford these.

Really diappointing why Fansproject can make a Targetmaster for 10 bucks and the the atual manufacturer tries to rip us off for 50 a pop. My respect for Takara has gone down even more.

(went downhill after the QC issues with Predaking and MP Roddy)

Here's a headline for you: they were free when buying 3,000 Yen (like $35) worth of United product at certain stores. Add import costs and mark-ups, you've earned your United figures back. So I'd direct my anger more towards the stores than towards TakaraTomy. I'm actually doing that right now. :BOOM:

Jelze is right - the likes of BBTS and Robotkingdom are the ones at fault here, not TakaraTomy.

How can they justify a $50 price tag for a minicon?

Hopefully people will have sense, and wait for the price to come down - yeah, right...

I got a stack load of overtime at work this month that I wasn't expecting, I hadn't realised I'd clocked up so many hours and decided to treat myself.

I bagged the pair from evil bay for $70, shipped to the UK, not too bad in the scheme of things.
