Re: Insanity stikes AGAIN ! This is not an $800 toy.
It's not a $450 toy. Sorry.
Seems similar to the housing market bubble.

It's not a $450 toy. Sorry. It's not worth $800 to anyone on here, but apparently it is to shigahara71naguchi.

Re: Insanity stikes AGAIN ! Poor Bigaro. He finally has his big day at auction after playing second fiddle for so long and this is what he gets. I think it's worth $1000 at least.

Re: Insanity stikes AGAIN ! Mr Sparkle was before my time.
Many hopes have been dashed by lady j though.
Dashed isn't the word really....crushed perhaps

Re: Insanity stikes AGAIN ! Parka wrote: $450?! even thats dumb. Dumb or not, that it what this stuff has seemingly been going for in auctions lately. The only place I've seen any sane prices that "felt" right lately was in Japan at some of the Mandarake stores. Other than Mandarake though, the smaller shops were charging ridiculous prices too. In terms of that toy being "worth" that kind of money, that's a whole different topic of discussion, mitigated by personal subjectivity. As long as release runs stay small, and RxH fandom grows, yes in Japan too, I don't see prices going anywhere unless multiple collections with the same or similar figures were to post at auction simultaneously, over a consistent period of time, to quell demand. Will values like this last forever? Nope.

Kinda like the Star wars market circa 1996? '97?

Re: Insanity stikes AGAIN ! It would be funny if the guy went around saying:
"Hey check out the cool RxH figure I got for 81,000 Yen!"
and all his friend say:
"Dude... it's a Bigaro..."

Last chance! It's not as cool for $600. $800 take it or leave it.
