Everyone is cashing in on RxH these days. Even our friends at KT :(


Given that they just charged $126 for a RxH mini that I bought from S7 for $40 a month ago, I'm not sure I think of them as our friends any more. I know they're cool guys, I know the customer service is great, but that is pure gouging.

Agree on the gouging part, but unfortunately they currently dont have any of the high priced minis in stock. So someone is buying them and keeping the price up there. :(

Sometimes I wonder "what can you do when the stores do it?" (of course, "not buy", but c'mon SOMEONE buys.)

...sigh...it feels like their holding our toys at ransom.

Yep, it takes two to tango, but every dance has its lead. There will always be "deep pockets" to whom high price is less meaningful than having the piece. As a card-carrying capitalist I may be going against my own belief that a business has every right to make what money it can honestly make, but as a collector, whine a little bit to vent. :-)

Holy crap I just saw that too! Wow I'm glad I scored mine on YJA a week or so ago. Don't worry Josh you'll find them. They eluded me for 9 months straight!

PS is Gargamel re-releasing some things or selling old back stock? I've seen the Hawaiian mini standing hedoran and Thrash Out Gargantuans (of course) on YJA in the last week or so also.

Maybe someone can help me out... I've been trying to register on KT. I've never seen anyone ask for Paypal info when you register. What goes on that line? Do I have a Paypal # I don't remember? Duh!!



I've actually never registered with them. I do know that once you hit the order button and fill out the info..they will send you a confirmation email and send you a bill through paypal.

Thanks! I should have tried that on my own.

? Is KT one person? I've purchased from there a few times but I always thought it was a big webstore for toys. :oops:

EDIT...nevermind I skimmed and misread. Please ignore.
