Looking back at the ending with Sam giving Shinji the golden beetle... why did he do it?
I assume it was a second place price like what Letty got but apparently, if Crash was telling the truth, the beetle wasn't worth much which makes me think that
a) production never bothered to actually check the true value of the beetle
b) they knew and just wanted one of them to have it, it was never meant to be a good second place price, just a lil bonus
