I'd agree, but then again there will always be somebody to buy them. Funny thing is, they're on eBay for way cheap from what I've seen.
My emblems were about the same, roughly $107 from Japan each. Let me look it up right quick.

So, if you think upwards of $250-$300 is in your budget and worth it for a set of these emblems, I can help you get them.

Perception is sometimes an illusion, just because it comes from Japan doesn't make it worth more or original. Are you certain that yours aren't reproduced? Just saying.
The Backyard Special importer, I'm surmising, possibly just gets them from the same guy in Japan.

Lord, yes. I'm sure mine are reproductions as well, since I have an original that I'm refinishing. What I'm getting at is these were reproduced in Japan before the eBay guys started making them. Not me putting myself above anyone here. No need to be passive/aggressive, just come out and say it. We're all men here.
There are a few importers in Japan who do things like this, I got my original badge from one. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Backyard Special piece comes from that site you posted.
