Your post is a fair one. For what it's worth the total outlay for the fully modded 5400 was less than $4000, which is not chump change, but it is not so much that I would feel compelled to "hear" an i .......

Lennon set was 19.99 at Plan 9. Hard to begrudge some price gouging given that the event is somewhat of a "benefit". Also with everything being limited edition you assume the value of these items will .......
