[MEBears]

I don't understand why so many are selling above retail? I guess some people will pay a premium to see pics of what they're getting or just don't know they're available.

[running-man]

I don't quite understand it either.  You've got to think that they know they are available at retail still. 

Even still, some of the guns are honestly not so head and shoulders nicer than what Classic has in their unveiling videos that I question whether they are worth the $100 premium that people are paying.
