    But now they are making them en masse. Wouldn't they be a large production run, made by alot of people or machine?

    Nah. They'll probably be like SHE and have only a few people working on them causing prices to inflate.

    they won't be a large run, there won't be that much demand, as only collectors will buy them, so that's not gonna happen, and so the price can't get that low.

    I'd spend $100 for Wheelie alone. That thing is SWEET.

    They were a little under $100 each.

    Fully painted and not requiring any glue to assemble, I'll pay $100 for both. I tried to e-mail them, but it did not work. Hopefully, they will see the demand for them and be able to work out a reasonable deal.

    Man, those look solid! But how big are they compared to their G1 counter-parts and how fragile are they? Are they as durable as the Gundam Master-Grade or High Grade kits?

    $50 for Wheelie and $80 for Cyclonus were the prices he was toying with (translating to Yen, of course). Don't know if that's changed.

    They come in kit form, so I'm assuming not.

    However, they're molded in multiple colours of resin, so the majority of the colour is there. You just have to paint the smaller details, like the eyes, and the red on Cyclonus.

    I'd pay $130 for the pair, but not $400.
