Seriously?
People who actually understand what it takes to make something like this
(custom machined metal) know that this is an awesome price.
Someone who does a lot of customed machined parts said it best on the replica prop forum:

That's going to take a good bit of stock to machine those end-caps.
Metal is crazy high right now. I don't think some people can appreciate how costly it's gonna be to make this thing.

And not thats its any of your business, but the metal ends caps ALONE cost more then $35 to make,
EACH! -Then add to that the cost of the 2 rolled metal TGRI plates, the custom cutout vinyl Decals (2 sets per can) and the Acrylic tube, and you
might start to
understand where the cost of these are coming from.
And if you read the first post on this thread, you'll see that this is a pre-order run of parts.
There is no way Im going to get just 1 made, just so I can show you what its going to look like.
Its going to look EXACTLY like the ones in the movie.
And besides the cost to make that 1 to show would have been $250+ and that cost would have had to be spilt into the total cost of each canister, thereby raising the end cost even more!
