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

Looks like a three year old trying to draw a Pepsi Coke bottle.

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