On the other hand, Marvel Legends appeals to a much more common market who can buy their offerings in supermarkets. It hits different for a company that makes high-end artisanal $150 collectibles to offer something for $350 than it is for a company that makes $25 figures to offer something for $350, even if it's worth the price tag.

Agree on this one. Boog_ACBA said it best in his Retro Spider-man review...Legends is the best inexpensive comic representation in action figure form. From an overseas buyer's point of view, the price they are selling the Sentinel is very expensive, almost double of the 350 USD (with shipping) price tag...Here in Australia, the 500 USD Sentinel is worth 2 week's rent or mortgage payment. That's how expensive it is.

I will never understand why people complain about the sentinel being over price when they would buy this in an instance.

I think the crux of the matter is each company's price and quality range. All of Iron Studios' products are crazy expensive. Their 1/10 statues cost around $150, are made with polystone and are hand-painted. They appeal to a niche target market that is willing to spend over a hundred bucks on a single collectible that is even made to be posed along with the company's other products. The only people that would buy this in an instant have to be either well-off or have skewed priorities.
