Size matters.
... location does too, but houses are ridiculously expensive relative to their weight and mass.
And that's a dumb thing to say, because Jabba's Barge would weigh quite a bit more than a $200 Hot Toys or even 4 of them put together.
Large toys still require a lot of plastic... but to say that you're paying for toys by the pound is also a ridiculous thing to say. I'm sure there's a diecastfag around that believes one of the cheapest shoddiest materials that can barely hold detail will argue that diecast is worth its weight in gold.
