>>7239927>the US isn't the only 1st world toy buying country on the planet and you aren't the arbitrator of whose opinion "counts" or not.It's not arbitrary, because UNLIKE YOUR COUNTRY, the MSRP is the same as Japan's.
Your country doesn't count because your stores need to artificially inflate the price like BBTS and scalpers need to to make their money back. What your country's stores and BBTS set their price to IS arbitary, as they select the price point to whichever price they want. Again, like Japan, USA stores like Target, Best Buy, Barnes and Noble, and even comic stores are using the price set by the manufacturer. Hence, MSRP.
>Irrelevant. I bought my Miku 2.0 Figma on Mandarake for £15, unopened. ... we're talking about national retail.I know you're European, but Target is a national retail chain. The flea market store you bought your Miku from buys that shit at used prices, hence being so cheap and it isn't even in your country. Whereas Target is found in nearly every city in America, sometimes with multiple stores per city, where they sell the Good Smile Company goods as an official vendor.
>Hasbroshit is dreadfully overpriced.You're only saying this because you just want to pull a "NO U!!!!" because you're butthurt that Japanese companies overcharge you, and that Hasbro can include way more features than most companies can. The only companies who can do as good or better are also American (possibly China, but almost all of it is bootleg shit).
Again, Hasbro isn't overcharging you because there aren't any other companies who give you as many features for as cheap of a price. They're the baseline in what your dollars should buy you. You offer no proof to support your claim that it can be done cheaper.
Unlike you, i've given many examples of how other manufacturers can't match Hasbro's production values and not even the former largest toy company in the world could match Hasbro. I've also given many examples of how Japanese lines are overpriced.
