for those things that you can't help but wonder why the fuck they're so expensive.
this isn't for shit like Chogokins that STARTED Expensive and are obviously ALWAYS going to be expensive. this is for stuff that might have been at tops $50-ish at retail, but are suddenly way the fuck too expensive for their own good.
Anything from the 80s
The new anniversary digivices.
I really want one, but there's no way they are worth what people are paying.

There's no way they're worth what Bandai was charging. $100 for a toy that's slightly modified from the original version. Really?

Every time Lego releases a set with a nice build or a cool piece, it's always in those bigger expensive sets. its rare for something like a giant animal to appear in its own smaller set

They should've just made a big, heavy CS style digivice.

And now people are buying them for $165 plus.
I miss my old digivice, I'd buy an updated one for sure, but for a reasonable price like $60 max.
Desperate digimon fans are their own worst enemy.

I'm guessing it's because the molds and electronics are so old that they had to be recreated. And since they're not being made on the scale they were in 1999, they needed to more expensive to turn a profit.

Digimon toys weren't so expensive 10 years ago or so until the rest of Asia started driving up the aftermarket prices.

Part of it is the premium Bandai tax. Everything web shop exclusive is expensive, not just Digimon.
Second hand Digimon prices are stupid insane, though. I blame Thailand/Malaysia/Hong Kong and all the other Asian countries for buying up all the stock and marking the prices way up. The prices have been inflated so high and dumb Digimon fans keep buying at those prices, cementing them.
inb4 supply and demand. Yes, supply is low, but not low enough to warrant the price spike. If items are consistently listed on online auctions (sometimes not even selling) it's not a rare item. There's still plenty of supply.
Shit, I've personally seen the sellers from YJA simultaneously list their wares on eBay for three or four times the price. (Not that YJA prices are even better than eBay's prices)
