The Hobbico Microsizers are actually about $30USD retail. Target ran a four day special on them for $20USD earlier this month but that's over. TOMY Bit Char-Gs can't be had after shipping in the US for less than $35 or so.
Anyway, there are a lot of potential rip-offs in this market. The cars advertised at the mall or sold in spam that come in the plastic bullets can be found for about $12 if you look hard enough -- these places are trying to sell them for $25+
There are also a lot of knockoffs from Hong Kong that mimic the packaging of the official TOMY Bit Char-G. Make sure that it says TOMY everywhere on the box, otherwise you might get something you didn't expect.
