(...) Sets in the $90+ range sell in such small quantities that most stores won't even stock them, which is why TRU can get away with jacking the price another $10 over MSRP. Comparing a $300 toy to a similar $90 toy is simply a matter of scale. The (...) (22 years ago, 29-Feb-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

Jake, I think the comic is great. I had a really good laugh at a few of the strips. Even though the colour change is a bit of a stinging point with me, I found myself reacting very positively to the strips. Humour is a wonderful tool. As you (...)
