wow, that was long... don't even know the first thing about snowboards, hell i haven't even seen one yet...
and i was just wondering, like most do, how much does it really cost to make a Yamato valk (guess we'll never know) + the other costs you mentioned ... and even if we knew, we all know that we don't have any say in what the final cost should be... hell, if anybody thinks that they can dictate to Yamato how much their products should be, then they'd better head out to the Middle East and tell the people there how much crude oil should cost...
i never said that Yamato was TOO greedy as in Bi11 G@t3s greedy... i agree that we don't really have any say in the way Yamato or any other company chooses to do business... and personally, i think the price of the transformable valks are pretty fair, expensive but fair. however, for the non-transformable stuff and the add-ons, i think they may be a little overpriced.... easy...
