$1,523.82???

what was this for?

That's a great price for an '89 CRX with only 85,000 miles! Nice score!!!

I had a suspicion it was the "one"--very nice piece, and I heard once from a boardie that it would go around as high as that bid price.

Ha, I thought it was that one. Well, one just sold for $800 with only half the pieces and no header, so there you go.

Frankly, seeing two of this guy go up in such rapid succession made me a little suspicious of the second.

EDIT: Hm, and the same bidder won both of them. Way to go man!

Your investigative skills are very much appreciated, thanks!

Oh that... well, I've gotta say it trumps all the ones in my collection, but that's some serious dedication in the financial department. I looked a few times while it was hovering at around $700, but it was already way out of my reach... just nice eye candy!

Blobpus with Gogamejira I think...

hmmmmm....

who is the buyer? must be someone on this board...

Bwah-ha-hah!!!!! STUPID!!!

ouch!









....joke

Hype hype hype. I think they look tacky, uber rare or not.

I have been watching this, more our of curiosity than anything else.
Just wondering, how much would this have retailed for or was it a gift type thing?

think retail was about 8000 yen and there was only about 10 sets made. Of was sold at the first sofubi matsuri maybe 3 years ago. I can't remember exactly even though I was there.

yep...10 sets made from what I understand. finding a complete set MIB would be near impossible.
I owned the goga at one time and while it's pretty, not something I would spend $800 on.

I guess you're just not THAT dedicated of a collector



(did I do the sarcasm thing right?)

Since the auction is now over it won't hurt

I don't have any Anraku or blobpus but that set looks amazing.

Amazing colors. Really digging the header art too.

The Header is great!
And they would look fantastic under a black light, but the real question is, does the winner think he got a killer deal?
Or was he just caught up in an ebay frenzy moment.

haha...sure I am.

It was traded to a good friend for an OG GID mutant evil.

And actually I originally got the goga in a trade. And I still have one mini goga so I guess I am doing ok right?

See what happens when you build nice relationships and make friends with people?

WOw. I can't believe the price on it.

I was watching this too...and am blown away by the price...

I'd love to have this set...but this is just silly, silly, silly...

silly.

I assume that price is/was either USD or JY? Either way, that is wild. However, as one of our SB pals said in another thread (sometime back), sometimes even we collectors underestimate the medium of "toys". The "toys" we collect are art-equivalent. If a gallery painting, or some such, fetched this price most would not even bat and eye.

USD it was on the bay.

people also need to consider that this is something that Japanese collectors really go after with a passion as well.
Other newer companies aren't collected as closely as anraku, so this price really doesn't surprise me.
Old anraku is no joke, and the people who can go after this stuff have a lot of money to blow. It's like vintage really, because it's so limited and hard to find, the big guns come out.
