That's the standard BIN on these guys, people keep paying that and only about 2 per release have popped up on YJA at that price so far.

That's really wierd considering they're supposedly runs of 20-30. Suspect stock is being withheld but who knows.

Holmes keeps his inventory on lock, knows how to create demand!

If you read my second post you'd understand what I was referring too..when joel wrote 52k...I'm assuming us dollars not yen. Then I realized he meant yen.

I did read it. Frankly I think 52 k Yen is high for any Bemon unless its a HP or extremely badass 10 run.

No insult was intended, basically just pointing out I don't think I've seen a 2 headed Bemon under 52 k Yen yet and that price seems high.

I'm with Krudler, too much money totally. Maybe if these were out for like 10 + years and long gone, but not brand new and not when we're told they're made in the 20-30 range.

I think hype has a lot to play into this one. No offense to those who've bought it, you're toys and money, I'm just saying I think if the "hype" level and instant snatching up of these for this price was less and less, than the price would get a little more reasonable....maybe.

What are flippers SUPPOSED to think when they see them all sell out super fast for $500ish? They think "let's get more, and put them up for that price or more!" Than collectors get this heard mindset of "oh that's the 'going rate' for one, sounds good!" and it's all keeps going for a while.

I really want one, bad, but not $500+ bad. This is a cool one too, I also think it's the weakest of the 3 so far, and I usually love blue stuff.

You can be sure the releases are being staggered.

The day I missed the Bounty Hunter release when I was in Japan they sold five of the red ones. By that time Jay already had a red one in his collection he had bought off of YJA a month earlier.

52K is almost as much as that handpaint Bemon went for recently, COOL!

i think people have lost their minds.

I put a bid on this one this morning, and knew deep down i wouldn't win it, but this is just nuts.

$1k? really?

It's a cool piece but definitely not 1000 cool....some people just throw money at anything.

Christ on a bike with a sidecar! I bookmarked this page this morning, thinking well at least I'll be able to gauge what people are paying for these (I love to watch auctions to educate myself on good pricing). I thought no way anyone is going to shell out 1,000 for this so at least it will be up for the duration. AND then someone did!!! Whoever you are you must really wanted it and had a xmas bonus to burn!

Look, I'm sorry.
Can't believe this has gone to 6 pages with a typo at the top.

Call me a grammar-nazi, but that's 'query' okay?
One 'R'.

Just sayin'. Otherwise where will we be, huh?
Next thing: 'queery' is okay.
You know what I'm saying?

Queerily enough i think about that each time I read the thread, so i fixed it.
I'm lazy, what can I say.

That being said, congrats to the buyer. More power to people who have that kind of dough to drop on things.

I seriously can't believe someone paid that much for a brand new toy.

It doesn't shock me or sadden me. At this point I just think it's hilarious.

Temporary insanity is my guess.

100k!!! that is just stupidly crazy!!! with the celga rate of 88yen to $1,,,that is $1136 before celga fees,,,so make that a cool $1250 for a run of 30 bemon that retails at 15k...not even MIB

i bet some more reds are going to come out of the woodwork in no time

Yikes!

If anyone else is interested I will also sell mine for 1000.00 US

I mean c'mon!!!!! This is just stupid on a stick!!! A grand for one figure???? Whathefuck????

Right?

Right?

lol, shuuuuut up you !

paying that much is insanity but in all honesty I don't think I could even sell mine for that I love it so much

I raged a little.

The green one?

I'll let mine go for $999

these toys do deserve the hype imo. It's just out of my league to want one. As more and more people are directed towards the wonderful world of Kaiju collecting throuh Phillipdepury and Christie's, prices like these will be the norm for the hot items.
