I mean all model kits will climb in price eventually due to scarcity, but because Minipla are either candy toys or P-Bandai, they have no real history of being reprinted. Moderoid kits not only see multiple print runs, but they get re-released every now and then (sometimes with improvements).
It's just a general thing with model kits, as you can't exactly resale them once they are assembled, unlike other toys. Minipla in particular have just been hitting far above their weight class. For the longest time, Bandai's top notch engineering and plastics have only been found on Gunpla, but now we've been getting Minipla, Figure-Rise, and 30MM kits which are putting other brands to shame. With the switch to Shokugan Modelling Project branding, Bandai has already said they plan to reprint/re-engineer older kits (GaoKing was arguably the first) so I think aftermarket prices will get better in the long run. Maybe they'll even stop with the candy pieces and make them easier to acquire stateside!

I wish I wasn't so broke because I have absolutely none of the Gaoranger Miniplas ad I think they look fantastic and aftermarket prices suuuuuck.
Anyway, they look absolutely stunning! Nice that we finally have all the Gao mechs (barring GaoGod but that's a different case).
