I believe that scale issue is a big issue.
When you love something like starwars and you devote a lot of time to actionfigure collecting and you are in your late 20's and you have spent 35 thousand Australian dollars on it scale is a very big issue.
As an example if a scaled AT-AT were released it would not bother me not one bit to pay 400 Au.

Ide soon get that much money together if it were out.
I have 3 AT-AT's (kenner mould) and hope every day for a scaled re mould of it and many others.
I think maybe some vehicles should be made in 2 sizes collectors edition (large to scale) and medium edition (under scaled).
For example the big millennium falcon and the old small falcon.
Then hasbro should run a poll on howmany collectors edition (large to scale) collectors there are to gauge howmany to build of each.
