Because they are cool and more likely to sell than a friends set

Why do you suppose that is, that the Friends line is not a good seller?

Not as useable, but lately the builds have been really good, so that seems to
be changing.

Considering the two $35.00 sets part out at $115.00 and $128.00 so that is over
3 times the the purchase price. If it were me, I would buy several of each.
