>>10801081I could be wrong, but it feels like back then Premium castings were scarcer than what we have today. But it also depends on the casting as some early 00's Premium castings have not all shot up as much. Even some current Premium sets like the Yellow FD RX-7 and BRZ from the same set a few years ago are quite a bit of money. Japan classics? Easy $200 set and it's from like 2017 when Car Culture was introduced.
I'm actually impressed they listened to the complaints. We are finally getting (Premium) Basics with metal bases. And as a set as well, not just the odd car here and there. Worth the $20 per set. Full tampos and even the new wheels look great.
