I hear that...just thought id let u know

Oh I didn't mean anything to you, sorry, my sadness/anger is getting the best of me. What's funny is I'm e-mailing back and forth right now with someone in Japan and they said that OF doesn't even open until 12. So none of the people selling them on ebay or yja even have them yet. haha. So there is still the chance that they might not get them and are going to have to get them on the after market and then resell them.

notice the douche who paid almost $1,400 has a private ID...smart move...cause I'd have a word or two to say to that ass.

this is disgusting...people can't get to their computers fast enough to list these...all I can hope for is most collectors being smart, holding back, resisting their fear of not getting this...allowing a flood and then getting a better price.

I'm not dropping more than 3 bills on this...and even then under protest...and bank strain.

ugh.

LOL...me niether man...no offense taken i just didnt know if u had seen them yet, i was wondering if they even had them yet....

2 fucking has-beens collaborating. YAAAAWN...

it's past noon there. no one is blogging on site? weak sauce

Sigh...........

Still hung up about the cloth cape . . .



. . . . or is that an internal defence mechanism to avoid dropping waaaay to many $$$ on a lump of vinyl!

I cant believe there are so many on the bay. O well, I guess its a plus cause it helped me score one. I would say at a fair price too. Pretty close to retail.

so what's retail?

the lowest price on the bay I've seen it sell for is $500...if that's close to retail, then I ain't buyin' one of these...I thought 200 was the retail...but if it's 3 or 4, bite it kaws.

lalon

really $200 as retail? O i thought it was in the $400?

Anyone remember how much the 5YL cost at retail?

17,800 yen if I remember right. About $150.

O wow! If this piece retailed for around the same, bastards are making about 3 to 4 times as much on em.

I actually paid $140 for each 5YL here in the states at 360 toy group...no tax for me!

hooked up friends too...a bunch of em.

oh, the "good ol days."

If we only knew then what we know know.

...until america gets up!

Those were all up last night at like 10pm Eastern time. Most of them were at least, I checked.

wow i contemplated trying to get one of these, but those pictures of the cape are terrible.

i'm glad i don't have to figure out where to find one...

Maybe he should start spreading the love and do a "South America" only release or an "Eastern European only" one.

Japan has been getting too much of the good stuff.

I know I'm new to this thread (and KAWS), so I'm probably missing alot here. But where do you usually find KAWS toys? And where are these on sale in Japan? I'm lost in the initials.

Also not loving the cape, but according to FRANK not qualified to criticize.

I think the CAPE is fine, what's wrong is the folding of it. I'm assuming there's a wire at the bottom? You're supposed to fold the wire into the right shape to make the cape ripple properly in back, the Medicom RAH Vader has it too. It looks cool and flowing BUT only if done right.

God I love this! I love the cape, I love the figure, I love KAWS. If you want to trade me your darth kaws please hit me up. Ill make it worth it for you!!!

looks like there is even 2 capes: inner vinyl, outside satin
pretty complex compared to cheap plasic ones but guess
only u can tell when having in hand - lets wait.

The head just looks awful. The boots look pretty bad too. It's just kind of a mess. And generally I like KAWS, but I rank this among the worst (Blitz & Cat Teeth). At least the Blitz was properly proportioned.

How about a KAWS Rockman? I can't be the only one who's thought of that, right.
