I'm not one to spend an absurd amount of money on a "collectible"toy, but I see the reasoning. When produced in small quantities, ie 1000 or less) then the market goes high. Collectors will pay the money to have a limited edition product. However, I am not "a collector". My collection is for dios, photos, and for "funsies". So, I will not pay $50 for a RAM cycle that I could get for $10 at WalMart in the new mold. (I would however pay $700 for a complete Defiant/Gantry if I had it)

Yo Joe!
