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.

"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.

I've just never seen you like that before & BTW I respect your opinions either way.. but why not explain the cost breakdown instead of verbal attack? I think anyone getting this figure is very fortunate no matter what they pay.

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 just would of liked to have known how many were available so I could have decided a little quicker on spending the $165 before they were gone. I snoozed to long on it...no biggie. I must have just misread the pre-sale info on the S7 site. 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.

Its a great figure & I would have bought one for that price.. shocked they were gone so quick. Folks really need to speak up about their desire for Longneck so hopefully s7 can make an exclusive of this figure with more to go around and maybe it will happen.
Let them know you want it- they NEED to know!!!
One like this would kill...

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.
