I think their prices are covering the "labour of love" time and money to develop the model to create the hologram image

I believe if they sold for $150 each they would sell alot, I am not going to pay $300 especially when it is a repro, sight unseen and not from the original mould / tooling.

And then you get a crazy ebay sale the other day for a hologram, hopefully not artificial to make the new ones look like good value
