The Popsoda thread? Just adding the link 'cause it isn't obvious from the subject line that the topic drifted to K-T's recent price and shipping increases.

Plus 16,500 seems considerably more than the $100-110 S7 and grumbletoy sold theirs.
I notice full-size kaiju is usially more inflated on the forgein market !?

I would assume KT has to purchase these toys (e.g., event exclusives, certain makers), just like any of us, whereas for other makers, they might have a discount rate as a retailer (e.g., Charactics). This would require him to add markup to retail for the items for which he is not given a preferential price.
I also think that this may be the reason that some of the Killer Dragons releases were later sold by Bwana and Tim for more than the store price- they had to purchase them at retail from Gargamel and cover their own expenses.
Just speculation, no information. 
EDIT: Koji beat me to it. Haha.
