But I suppose they think they can get away with it for the new simplified Leader classes, so why not the larger 3-Steps and 1-Steps?
I think your last paragraph there nails it. large toy = big price.

even though it might not sound like it, I do agree with you, the prices on a lot of these items are out of sight. I'm certainly not interested in them for that price or even a third of it in a lot of cases. and these days if it's big it needs to be awesome to earn a space in my limited display area.
