I thought I read somewhere Cosmo doesn't sell wholesale so shops that want to sell them have to mark up from original retail price.
Yes, yes it was! "Loaf" makes a point of telling everyone he bought one and then seems to make grumblings at an assumtion of a marked up price (all based on speculation)? Known fact the manufacturere does not give a discount. Figure in the connection S7 has on these and the postal bill. Seems fair to me.
Buy one from a YJA seller and you'll pay a lot more plus commissions. These were very fairly priced at $165. Although I missed it its cool to see these sold in the USA at a much better retail price compared to the alternatives.
I think they give a date just in case the preorder doesn't sell out right away. It's safe to say that if it's still up when you look, and you really want it, pull the trigger.
Gotcha, I thought it was a painted version and I was freaking out. Damn Knunt had that Bawer with the little head/arm attachment toy to! damn.
The red colourway is up to over 21,500 yen on YJA has a 35,000 yen BIN and two days left to run. S7's price was really good and the Frankenrouge colourway is better than the red.
I have the all white version of this guy and still waiting for the very first colorway. The prices for those were about the same as S7's price so imo it is a totally reasonable price. The only reason I hesitated pulling the trigger was because I just purchased a pricey vintage piece, one of my grails. It's a great & crazy figure in which it's design compliments the Bemon, Gas Bauwer & Death Mengaro quite well imo.
