Point is. There are enough rare items. I think having an astronomical price on good weapons makes them hard to get already, it doesn't need to be impossible (ex. Artillery cannon) :/ especially since new and better weapons are being developed all the time
What bothers me is having an item like this on display but unavailable for purchase, either with eggs or gralats, as I said in my original post. I wouldn't buy the launcher anyway personally but those who want to should be given a better opportunity to do so than a lottery drawing of being lucky enough to be online when it was "accidentally" put up for sale or being lucky enough not to lag out of events.
