>>10972700They aren't if you buy from chinese vendors like 99% of this thread.
I'm sure someone will link you to their uncle's aliexpress store within the next hour.
And they're priced as high as they are because Chinese companies think their products are as good as Japanese collector brands, which are also overpriced mostly thanks to cost of living being super fucking expensive.
Working/living in China is cheapo as fuck and wages are even lower, yet....
