How much would you spend on a blind box?

Now dont get me wrong, I'm a big 3A fan, but (assuming that the preorder prices that I'm seeing are correct) what is with the scheduled brambles and cubes having the nearly the same price point??

The next question is which is at the wrong price, & I think most would agree that it would be the square² series.

Then the thing that really starts to bother me is who pays 40-50$ for a blind box? especially if it's a cube with legs & a kick-ass paint-job. I've technically spent that much on a blind box toy... but it was over 6" and there were only two variants. at over 600$ a case no one is actually trying to collect these are they?
