>>10043247like i said, it jsut got re-released. So it's with the same conditions of shipping, fuel costs, inflation, and recession we're all facing. Hasbro locks in their prices based on current numbers or even past numbers, depending on when their contracts are written.
For something at that price, the APC probably got ~1000-5k made and that's less than whatever Hasbro has done through their kickstarters. So as a re-release, it wouldn't be any cheaper than the first time around. Shit doesn't scale until you hit higher numbers.
Pic is something that's over 12 inches long and less than half the price of any of the vehicles posted here, but has a shitload more moving parts and a ton of paint (which would probably pay for a license or two). IT was also recently released, so it's facing the same conditions Hasbro will with the Ghostmobile.
