So it's most likely the cost of producing the brand new steel molds and the drastically smaller production run of the kits compared to standard Bandai High Grade kits, alongside the amount of plastic used and the pre-applied paint.
But every new toy requires new steel moulds, so that’s kind of a pointless thing to say. Like, that’s practically a non-sequitur. 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.
