Is this an issue with other types of model kits? For example, Moderoid?

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!

It's how much I enjoy building GaoGorilla that is the dealmaker or breaker for GaoKnight

Me: "Oh hey, my GaoHunter shipped. Would be cool to have some of the other Power Animals to go with. Let's see how much they are, I'm sure it won't be too bad!"
GaoKing for ?40 is pushing it. GaoKnight for ?90... how is double the price justified? I know it's PB, and in the end it's just plastic toys and I'm not 'cut up' about it, but still.

you answered it you self it's a p-bandia exclusive so it it has the mark up for that then also the extra mark up of needing a middle man for it
some of the p-bandia gundams get real wild in pricing
