gian7675 Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Just wondering, why are Yamato's re-issue of their products more expensive than the original price tags? Re-issies are supposed to bring the price down but it's not the case with Yamato's re-issues. Other toy collectible re-issues has their price tags in the original price range like the SOC Grendizer Giftset, BPX-01 Space Battleship Yamato and the to be re-issued MPC-01 Yamato's re-issues are different. They're getting more expensive! Why is this so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightmareB4macross Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Just wondering, why are Yamato\'s re-issue of their products more expensive than the original price tags? ***A large number of reasons. Re-issies are supposed to bring the price down but it\'s not the case with Yamato\'s re-issues. ***Not always true. Mostly when supply meets demand. Other toy collectible re-issues has their price tags in the original price range like the SOC Grendizer Giftset, BPX-01 Space Battleship Yamato and the to be re-issued MPC-01 ***Supply and Demand, or Over saturation of the market. Yamato\'s re-issues are different. They\'re getting more expensive! Why is this so? ***As stated before, it could be for any number of reasons. These could be just a few to look at: 1. Vendors, price hiking the items to consumers. 2. Currency Exchange, dollar vs yen is not what it used to be. 3. Gas Prices. Having a trickle effect on shipping costs. 4. God ol\' fashion price gouging. 5. Scalpers 398930[/snapback] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uxi Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Yen to Dollar is your most likely culprit. Then... when has anything not increased in price over a certain amount of time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"just like how people were asking $1000 for a chunky monkey to exploit desperation" What's a chunky monkey that I've seen referred to in numerous posts?
