    Default JP Gen1 Predacon reissue

    Outa the blue, the 2010 (golden) Predacon reissue set that was part of the 2010 commemoration set of toys, is apparently being reissued this month.

    BBTS are listing it for US$225.

    TakaraTomy are probably cashing in on the upcoming Predaking character by releasing a recent Predaking toy.

    hmmm, why so pricy? The first reissue didnt have more than $200 on it's price tag - that is more of secondary market value...strange.

    Does that BBTS price represent the actual RRP for this toy though?

    Because the RRPs for the previous Predaking reissues were:
    2004 reissue = 14000JPY = $163
    2010 reissue = 15750JPY = $184

    ...unless each subsequent reissue of Predaking keeps getting more expensive by $20-odd.

    Little bit of a shame about price. I really want a Predaking too (he looks so awwwwesome)

    Dumb price considering it's easily available on the secondary market for under $200...

    I think it might also have something to do with this.

    Agree with everyone else regarding the price. Doesn't make any sense when you can buy the initial release cheaper (for now).
