my understanding with the silver versions is that they are only available for pre-order for folks that attend the event only. They are not offered at wholesale for anyone else to sell. Does anyone know how many of the silver versions were offered? I know the blue version was limited to 150 pieces. The Dragamel has become one of my favorite releases of late.

Seriously, you meant the light blue version that has just been released? I'm a Fresh Meat in Kaijus, the Gargamel releases are always that limited?

Most don't have a specific edition size. I think they usually produce roughly what is pre-ordered from shops. So I would guess they are usually even more limited... can't say for sure though.

I was at the event in Tokyo but didn't get to preorder one because I was returning to the US a week later. From what I heard the silvers are limited to 100. If anyone else has information please PM me because I am also looking for one to match my blue that I will hopefully be getting within the week.

^^ plus the blue colorway is way better. The silver highlights on blue makes it stand out more. Can't wait for mine to arrive.

I have the blue version on its way but already have the silver version. Not sure I will like one more than the other but the silver version is a great looking figure. I didn't like the Dragamel at first but the more I looked at it, the more I was drawn to it. Now I absolutely love it. It has a combination of looks in my opinion that make it a really wonderful piece... TB's cartoon style, classic Kaiju appeal and it's reminiscent of an ancient Asian dragon relic all in one, wonderfully designed and executed. Kudos to Tim B. and Gargamel.

Damn I'd really like one of these, but I cannot do $190... Seems to be the "going rate" on eBay. I'll watch the forums, you guys are mighty resourceful, maybe something will pop up.

Patience - 2nd market prices are in the 'buyer frenzy/ flipper gouging' mode that usually happens right after a popular item sells out.

I got mine for $86 shipped.
I was going to trade him until I put him in my case and now he will never leave. I really like this piece.
