[Axis and Allies the Board game]

I'm thinking to buy it

The prices have gone crazy. Amazon listing it more than 400 dollars.
But some people are selling it in new unopened condition at 300 dollars.
Of course there are people trying to sell it at 500 bucks or even 1,100.

I would like to ask your opinion about the game.
Is it a kids collection game?

I'm 31 years old and does that make the game too simple or uninteresting to me?

My gaming group might be willing to play this as it's a team Vs team game. They love co-op game than purely competitive ones.

My interest on the game is because it's strategic with the map of the world as its playing stage and because it includes in it naval warfare!

And add to the fact I can get the game at about 140 bucks instead the crazy prices selling in most Europe or US or Australia.

In fact I can get 2 copies at that kind of price tag and try to sell one for profit or both.....but shipping the big box is expensive and most local people are not that interested in the game and wouldn't spend much for it largely because we had very little to do with WWII. Didn't even study it during school years that much except from the local perspective and local WWII events.
