man i have only been buying these for a year and a half and it seems like prices have almost doubled in that time
Yeah, it's truly getting insane in terms of number of releases and prices. It can lead to collector burn-out - you either can't keep up or don't want to keep up.
Solid glow standard sized Bako is what I'm wishing for. Also more GID standard sized walking Hedorans please!!!
That's what makes me sad. The only 2 colorways that work for me from past ones are the 06 and 07 painted LB Bakos. It kills me when I dig a sculpt a lot but don't like most of the colorways. I need both, killer sculpt AND colorway, no middle ground bullshit. I just keep hoping someone will knock one out of the park though. Also, Gargamel folks, more clear with poured GID vinyl, it rules. PLEASE!
I picked up several bako for a lot less at retail when they first showed up. My favorite is my unpainted orange lucky bag. I didn't drop coin for the broken up lucky bag ones, glad now that it seems prices on them are dropping. My favorite gargamel besides the dokuromen and the gacha mechas.
