I can't make the link, but viperskingdom has the new FlashVenom up, as with the 2-pack Hulk and everything else, I think it's just a matter of time before the price goes down. I am really surprised Hasbro hasn't nipped this in the bud already, but who am I to say...

Because those aren't knock-offs. They are rejects/test runs/extras from the actual factory that those factories sell off for whatever reason. If may be part of their contract that they are allowed to sell that stuff off to wholesalers in order to make up for the cost of the materials. It could all be that it's China and it's basically the wild west and China loves letting American companies get screwed in favor of money being made in China. They are always helping new Chinese companies steal secrets to items produced there so they can make their own. I bet their goal is to one day kick most the foreign companies out and try to sell us the products directly. I bet if Hasbro tried to stop this there would be nothing they could do.
