By that logic every toy would be inflated in price, but the cost of steel moulds is one of the things recouped in standard retail prices, I’m asking what makes a Grand Liner MORE expensive than any other model of its size and complexity. RG kits require twice to three times the amount of steel moulds and aren’t this expensive.
Also, no way does Grand Liner have as much plastic asMetroplex. Metroplex is over two feet tall, Grand a Liner is under a foot. I don’t see how you came to that conclusion that they somehow have the same plastic content.
Metroplex like the rest of the 2012 series of transformers figures is extremely hollow like from what I remember it weighed about as much as a Cybertron leader class figure despite being around 2 and a half time bigger.
and I'm glad you ignored toe 2nd part of the comment about the molds, production size the less of something is made the more expensive it needs to be to compensate. I'll be shocked if there are more than ten thousand units produced of this, and that's not getting into the whole it's most likely only going to be getting a single small production run to make back the costs and it can't be recolored or remolded into something else.
And that's the main difference between Grand Liner and any Real Grade kit, the later is going to be continuously produced for years and have multiple reuses of their mold (the RG Unicorn Gundam if you include the Banshee and Phenex will have at least 12 different uses and releases by the end of the year; 14 if you include the special versions of the Unicorn and Banshee that only have a different box art )
