Diggis provided the only plausible argument for spending that kind of money.

Probably the most requested costume pack placed into production...no...other less requested packs must come first I can hear it now but they are sooo much easier to create!

A bit quick on the draw are we? It's a shame you know nothing, for you are quite missing the mark.

When someone attempts to take the moral high ground all that heavenly backlighting makes them a much easier target.

Pfft. Have you never played curling with orphans? Watching them spin down the ice is amusing for everyone!

And it looks like the winning bid was for $222.50. I thought someone might snipe it away at the last minute, but that price held for almost a full day.

New story arcs coming soon (ARC IDs will be aded when I finish the arc):
So, you want to join the Hellions? (level 1-14 Villainous arc)
Sparks & Steel (level 5-20 Heroic arc)
and
So you want to join the Skulls? (level 1-14 Villainous arc)

Nnnnoo, I think you'll find there is no plausible argument for spending that sort of money in my world view - this coming from someone who bid-creeps when shopping for a Kinetic Weapon.

There is nothing wrong with your opinion. I'd never spend that kind of money either, but that being said I can't dispute that it's cheaper for someone in Europe or Australia to buy a code on Ebay than the cost of airline tickets, hotel bill, etc to go to the convention from outside the US. I still think it's nuts, but I'll concede the point that it's cheaper.

I'm not sure that they heard you. Perhaps we could find some flashy way to get their attention.

There, now maybe this message will show up in searches. Then again, probably not.

I dunno, if it was in a booster pack I'd want the costumes modified so that they could be used piecemeal and recolored.
