cronic prices are crazy and the twim pumpkin head.. i looked 3 times and just couldn't pull the trigger (even though it was 120 less than s7s price) but lately its seems quite a few items on mandrake are way high |

lol I was gonna say the same thing 
It does seem that mandrake has raised the price a bit. I guess in some cases its cool. It makes you think before you buy. It also gives others that might have been looking for awhile that would spend the asking amount a chance to grab it. |

or just increases their profits lol.. it definetely seems to me that certain pieces that show up at s7.. show up at mandrake soon after (as if they'd been holding them) priced enough under s7 to sell but still high imo.. the cronics.. well i just cant even begin to justify their prices lol |

Considering the outrageously low prices they've had for some highly sought after pieces in the past, I'd say it's fine... I mean, UBIQ damage brains for under $70? C'mon... 
The price for the Pumpkin didn't seem that crazy to me... it probably would've gone for more on YJA. The prices on the Cronics is just crazy though... |

It was a little high for my tastes.. but I've been lucky with my SB purchases (mostly pre hype) Its the only pumpkin head I needed, which has lead me to debate selling off the others I don't care for as much since I keep passing on opportunitites to get it.. Rumble monster?... you mean the shold out one? even if those cronics are one ofs.. not worth the $$ and some are just the pipe filled ones |

Say what you will, but Super7 regularly sells out of its Cronics as soon as they go up for sale. Don't believe me, ask them yourself. Mandarake is raising prices because of simple supply and demand. I've been shopping there for 6 years. They do this with all popular lines. It's not rocket science. |

the clear read pharaoh is worth $200 to me and the dam's are priced the same as us retail. If you want them that is a fair deal. |

Not even sure what Cronics you're referring to. All the ones I saw on Mandarake (as of 5 minutes ago) were sold out. |

What search parameters did you use? I performed 4 or 5 searches and none of those figures came up. Weird.. Anyway, the red "TTF" version wasn't even a TTF exclusive, though they had three for sale there (for $70 each). In fact only ONE of the other so-called "TTF" versions was even at the show (rainbow Marveraus). So some manky info and yeah, some pretty insane prices. A few nice pieces, but those prices... |

don't use their search function.. it's stupid. just look at what is new for each day. |

I usually do.. but I've been lazy and trying to save some money for various other things.. so not searching helps except for that damn glow king skull bee they always sell one for 40 the days i dont look |
