A Nag Pa I Root (NAGNAGNAG) and der Angora Patio

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

I think the Nag Balls might cost more simply because of the packaging (tin can) and tiger mask.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

The Nagball masks were made by someone in Japan who makes real luchadore masks for wrestlers. From what I gathered from Shigeru, they were expensive to make.

But whatever, no one on Skullbrain is happy until they can B I T C H about something.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

. . . and yet we all come back for more . . . go figure!

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Coop are there any photo's without the mask on?

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Says the one who B I T C H es about naysayers constantly. The mask isn't worth quadrupling the cost of a 3 inch piece of plastic from 150 to 600 even if it was sewn by Ghandi.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Says the guy who quadruples the prices on his ebay auctions.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Says the guy who spent aftermarket on a BG and still thinks that the balls are priced insane. Are there diamonds rattling around inside each one?

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

I could somewhat understand why the masks would be expensive to make and why that affects the price of the nag balls. If its high grade quality (which i'm sure is what shig wants in all of his work), materials can be very expensive..

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

You spent $2500 on a Nag?

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

one lucky bastard went home with this today.....

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

So much negativity. Can't we all just. . . get along?

Back to subject, any pictures of the Nagball without the mask?

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Bottom line is that Mishka is acting as the gallery in this sense and there is a gallery mark up.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Was the blank the "surprise release" or was it a giveaway from shig? Congrats to whoever scored it! (I hope its someone cool from the boards)

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

I'm pretty sure that triple the price should raise a few questions, in general. I also hope that a prankster who stamps "fuck the USA" on the foot of his toys could take some sass

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

After he called all the nagball winners, he said something like "whoever didnt win we have one more thing to raffle"

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

2000 because he hired a guy who makes staples in Japan to make the staples that keep the bag closed.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Yes more about this?

A Mishka release is always going to cost more, the money is being split up in so many different ways, The mask looks great I'm sure it cost a ton to have someone custom make a handful of them. That being said it's too much for me but with people paying the prices they do on ebay, someone has the money. At least this money is going to the artists.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

I think 500.

 

Re: A Nag Pa I Root

Hi. I like Nags. I'd love to own one some day. I won't pay flipper prices. I think it kinda sucks that some people buy with the intent of profit rather than for the desire of actually owning it. It happens with almost any collectable tho... Our market is just so niche that it's easier to complain, rather than to accept that that's how it tends to be. I understand the Mishka "gallery markup", but couldn't justify it within my own personal budget. Even "reasonable" aftermarket prices are too hefty for my wallet. However, if I were making 5X the salary I am now, I'm sure I'd find a way to justify spending 5X more than my current max. If I were to personally spend that much on a toy, you can be damn sure it'd stay in my collection, and thusly not inflate the market price upon resale. It's all relative.

I could give a rats ass what that Nag over there sold for, and I could give a rats teet what that dude over there spent on a Nzombi. If it's not my toy, and it's not my loot, then I won't give any parts of my rat.

Still hoping I win an auction one day, or that karma works it's magic and someone hooks me up close to retail. That'd be fun!

...Never understood the drama in this thread.
