 Re: Pink GID Rose Vampire
I would say mine glows alright. Definitely weaker than the new Garuru that just was released.

 Re: Pink GID Rose Vampire
mine glows really well... since my shelves are not under a light, most of my glowies pick up the ambient charge better. however if i set the rose next to another figure under a lamp to compare.. watch out.

 Re: Pink GID Rose Vampire
This thing glows!? kidding ,The sculpt is a total home run that it can be molded in puke green and still be a thing of beauty. I'm hooked!

 Re: Pink GID Rose Vampire
I'm actually a little bummed to see these being flipped on ebay.

Me too, It doesn't seem to be a particularly hard toy to acquire and it's strange how folks are taking the fast route to collecting and paying all kinds of insane prices for it. I suspect though that S7 will be making more than enough figures on the next issue to counteract this negative trend. I just hope the folks paying the flipper prices are coveting the toy for what it is. A fantastically designed, flawlessly sculpted, and all around wonderful vinyl toy.

 Re: Pink GID Rose Vampire
once that first one on ebay went for so high, I can personally vouch that many people who have never asked for a piece of japanese made vinyl have been asking about this piece. so there's no surprise as all that these are showing up a bunch over there. the good thing is that these folks will probably kill the flipper market for this sculpt and the people who really want them will be able to get them for retail or a little more. right now I would be willing to bet that a portion of the people who bought these got them only to sell because of the one that sold for a bundle last month. I'd say it will probably happen for the next few versions as well... thankfully I was able to get the pink from a kind soul, but really bummed to have passed on the red and green version...these bottomfeeders will just make the search last longer. Josh's VR = American Bemon?

So what you're saying is that I should finally be able to get a green at a decent price in 2014? Awesome.

The time frame I referenced in my post was actually specific to how long it took me to get a particular JLED toy at a more normal price again.

I did draw the line when she claimed my Pushead hp skull captain as hers.  Buying 2 might be a good idea though.
