Remember, not everything goes on the web-store and most of the stuff that does is aimed at the foreign market and is priced accordingly. Usually anything priced well at the store moves quickly, so some of the stock that sits around for a while is just marked at ridiculous prices (think RxH stuff priced at the peak of flipper hysteria right after release sitting there for 6 months with the same price tag... ain't going anywhere), so I think sometimes that stuff finds its way to the web store at a lower price. With the sheer volume and variety of merchandise they go through on a daily basis there are bound to be some... well, anomalous prices. The ones for these Anraku figures are just silly, though. Thanks man. The prices for these, particularly the Anrakus, would be based more from the high demand in Japan, I assume?

 Re: I'll go ahead and say it if no one else will.....
Good question. I don't follow Anraku so much myself (out of my league), but have there been any big Anraku auctions lately? They seem to follow auction results and base prices off those at times. Might also have been based off something selling in-store for those kind of prices.

 Re: I'll go ahead and say it if no one else will.....
I think he may have seen a few crazy high priced Anraku auctions over the last year and thought they were worth more without thinking about it more. The few that hit SUPER high prices were really rare, and long past made. The pieces he's selling are much newer, in a sense, and more "common." Though I think one of them is the Monstock only version. He must have thought just because it's that company, it must be worth a ton, which isn't true.
From what I understand from someone in Japan I talk to, there are no more direct sales to anyone over there for Anraku. Maybe it IS targeted towards Japan?

will someone tell me what store it is?
S7 doesn't care if you post links to other stores if we don't have the product in stock.
