If someone chooses to go the KO route, that's their call, it's not my collection, but maybe don't be preachy about doing so?

Unless you believe that the KO market is in fact just Takara moonlighting in order to create 2 markets.
I don't know if I'm being preachy. I'm only talking about what I do. Preachy is telling people that they're morally inferior for expressing an opinion.
You want to spend 700 for an Optimus Prime or 70 for a trailerless reissue. Go ahead. But the fact remains, markets adjust to consumer willingness.
So lets talk about your assumptions made.
"Only buys ko"- You haven't seen my collection obviously or you'd never have said that.
"Lost revenue"- ummm I don't remember signing a contract to buy their stuff. If they're factoring me into their sales projections, they may want to read my opinions.
So to end, if you guys don't care about prices, don't ride me about my collecting habits.
If you do care about prices, take it up with Hastak, not me.
