>>7240894>Holy kek your ignorance is adorable.IF you know the reason, explain, otherwise it's just more bullshit. China is closer to Europe than it is to the US, so costs for transportation is cheaper, despite payments for canals and land transportation.
The US is also larger than Europe (at least the Europe that matters, because you said you're first world, right?), so there's tens of thousands more miles our own transports need to travel after shit is delivered from boats.
.. but that's not really the answer.
I know why and it has nothing to do with the stupidity you're hinting at. Here's the reason why the price difference is so huge.
Your market is shit, dude, as I've been saying for... ever?
This is why you think a 3 dollar to produce toy is soooo expensive and marked up to the arbitary number your country's store needs it to cost, instead of following the normal rates.
This is also why your own country has shit for toy manufacturers.
>Look at that shit.Your ignorance is astounding, especially when i posted the engineering-clone-of-a-Figuarts earlier.
BTW, those figures have pull down hips and other neato features found in expensive imports and they only cost $25, while having excellent QC and costly complex paint apps. The value isn't as great as Hasbro's MLs, but they are superior figures to MLs nonetheless though.
>Vietnam nowpoint still stands. They're very inexpensive and not at all expensive.
>absolutely all those "features" have been done better by other companies.Which isn't the point, because you claim they're overpriced, because you're the USSR in 1991. Again, they're inexpensive to produce toys, setting a baseline cost for toys, and your country inflates the cost waaaaay above standard mark ups, because your shitty market.
>"For a collector grade line". Learn to read, chucklefuck.I can read just fine, but this is just moving the goalpost. Again, you want to claim they're overpriced, but no one else can compete with their value.
