I just can't understand the price increase when they do second runs on these items. The initial research & development costs would have been on the first run so if anything this second run would be cheaper to manufacture with none of the aforementioned attached to this production run. Seems like they are having a lend of collectors in general:rolleyes:

That and why when running a business and releaseing a second issue of something that is selling on the secondary market for well over the initial value you sold it for would you not capitalise on that and sell your re-issue for a bit more?

it's just good business sense, it sucks for us, but that's how it is.

$200 is about $50~60 dearer than MP11's original price.

Yep. That's why some TF production has been moved over to Vietnam (e.g. some Bot Shots).
