I also saw it in the store. You know, if it was $250 then I would be tempted. But at $350 it's fairly easy to dismiss. It makes me feel bad because I've said time and again that I would be the first in line to shell out for AG items geared to collectors. But then they cross my personal line of how much I'm willing to spend on one item so I have to backtrack on my original statement. So now that we have this bug, I'm not willing to buy, at least not yet. I can just imagine AG employees pulling their hair out and yelling, "Well what is it going to take to make you happy ladysapphire??!!?!"
I also have to add that the parents of the target market that I saw there were looking at the bug in what I can only describe as slack jawed disbelief. I overheard one father on the phone with his spouse saying, "You are not going to believe this" about the price of the bug. The phrase "you have got to be kidding me" was also used. But in the end it all boils down to personal choice and finances. Personally I think it's more reasonable to look at is as a long term "wait n save" for the collector market, not the kids.
