I'm getting confused. What's the difference between the dragon you
describe and this one?

The cyclops is pretty cool, and if I recall that is a 50mm base he is sitting on, so he should be ~3 inches tall, and really solid. The price is still a bit high I think. I would say 60$ would be a price to get a lot of people excited.

He's talking about the "basic" Cynwall dragon. The one they appear to be releasing is the Titan. I'm actually not sure if they were completely different sculpts or just different sizes.

They are two different sculpts, Titan is huge (link here to web page describing one) and the smaller would fit 50mm base if I remember correctly.
Rackham need to re-release these beauties so i don't have to pay counterfeiters $20 EACH for them

Methinks putting in OOP Limited Release tends to jack up prices 40-60% more
How is this OOP ( out of production) since they just got the license and at least the first batch is 200 recasts?
Did they created the artwork? did they hired the sculptor? they just recasted the thing.
So yeah you can hate the unoficcial recasters and can detest some fleabay leeches that try to jack the prices but what is CMON doing so different really? Oh they have the license.
For things like unreleased models I can try to understand the price tag but for this mini that if your patient you can find the original in metal?
I'm very very disappointed to see confrontation handled yet again sooo badly.

Never thought I'd live to see the day... Navarro is SO damn right about this. Their overhead is so low there should be a sign posted so we don't brain ourselves.

They'll be more expensive than that when CMON gets around to them. If it were me I'd rather pay the Chinese recasters for metal figs.

$80 for a recast is atrocious.
Hey! We had some crazy debates about Rackham back in the day, but I think that we actually agreed on some points before
Its very sad to see a potential confrontation rebirth killed by pure blind greed, I hope no one picks this up, but something tells me that many will.

The only "infantry" models they've released so far break down to ~$16 each, so ok, I guess you should definitely go buy dodgy recasts rather than buy the models you want from the people that own the rights to the masters.

lol, I keed, I keed! True though, we both wish that the guys who SCULPTED for Rackham would just make more miniatures in that same design vein.

Also very true. I just wish CMON would get with it and offer these for a reasonable price! I cannot believe they'd go through with all this if it was costing them so much they needed to charge prices like these.
