Going back decades, I've never known a Kyosho model that didn't have a higher pricepoint than competitive models.
Now, for whatever reason, they've also never taken advantage of the "distributor networks" that they larger brands have - and as a result they don't move as much product (total sales) which ultimately affects their bottom line. So while most manufacturers base pricing on the basis of planned selling of 100,000 units (or whatever number you want to choose) Kyosho's forced to base their pricing on the basis of selling 10,000 units.
