The cost of the 3D printer also has to be kept in mind, as that's the most expensive part.
Sure a 3D printer is expensive, but we’re talking about THE STADIUM. The stadium is not SUPER expensive, nuts it’s expensive and there’s way better deals on many websites like amazon, eBay, and others. Legit, the limit break do set is only 70$ and it comes with a stadium, 2 one sparking launchers, 2 chips that weird 2 times as much as normal, metal chip cores, dash drivers with high LAD attachments, plus 2 new rings and discs. That’s just an example of the WAY better deals there are out there.
where are you finding the limit break set for 70? the cheapest i've seen is 110 from some foreign sellers on ebay, 90 something on amazon japan once you factor in shipping (IF they will ship to you, which the one seller i tried wouldn't ship to the US). Mall of Toys had it for 115....its on everwise for 100 and thats not including lots for shipping.
i can see it being 70 in Japan...but i havn't ever seen a way to purchase it for 70 if you are in the states.
Also this is being made with much sturdier (and expensive) plastic. TT stadiums while nice, are pretty susceptible to dings/warps.
plus you are somewhat comparing apples to oranges...the limit break stadium isn't as big or as sturdy.
sure its a bit expensive but thats what happens when you are an early adopter.
im pretty sure this guy isn't trying to scalp people with that price tag....the cost of the project is probably quite pricey.
if anything i think you should appreciate someone trying to do something new for the hobby.
