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 !?

Kaiju Taro does not get Gargamel toys at wholesale, while Grumble Toys, Super7, and Max Toy Co. do. That should explain some of their prices.

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.
