Re: A Nag Pa I Root I accidentally deleted my post last night (I think my brain is still fried from the con) and I was too lazy to re post until this morning. I got one - its completely different from anything else in my collection but IT IS a really fun piece and while expensive, I was really stoked to get one direct and with Shig being there it made the whole thing sting a bit less

Re: A Nag Pa I Root phantomfauna wrote: The Mishka releases have been bat shit crazy priced for a while now. I was under the impression they are all Mishka releases? Is the newly doubled retail price going to be the new norm? Is there any reason for upping the price so much? I don't think I've ever seen something like this happen.

Re: A Nag Pa I Root What i'm guessing the breakdown is for the prices is...
shig's price + joel's artwork cost + mishka cut = ???

The one's on the site have been priced at 20,000yen plus shipping. I always thought the Mishka prices are higher because of things like shipping, employees that like being paid, Shig's plane ticket, etc.

Re: A Nag Pa I Root Among other reasons...
Shig sells them to Mishka at full retail, and then they add their mark-up to resell them.

Re: A Nag Pa I Root Wasn't the price of the NZOMBI just as high at NYCC? Wasn't the Tara NAG 500? The NZOMBI seemed to me priced where I would expect it for a U.S. release. Who knows what's up with the Ball? Unless the mask was sewn by some famous luchadore seamstress, that is some serious mark up.

Re: A Nag Pa I Root I think the Nag Balls might cost more simply because of the packaging (tin can) and tiger mask.

Re: A Nag Pa I Root The Nagball masks were made by someone in Japan who makes real luchadore masks for wrestlers. From what I gathered from Shigeru, they were expensive to make.
But whatever, no one on Skullbrain is happy until they can B I T C H about something.

Re: A Nag Pa I Root Says the guy who spent aftermarket on a BG and still thinks that the balls are priced insane. Are there diamonds rattling around inside each one?

Re: A Nag Pa I Root I could somewhat understand why the masks would be expensive to make and why that affects the price of the nag balls. If its high grade quality (which i'm sure is what shig wants in all of his work), materials can be very expensive..

Re: A Nag Pa I Root Bottom line is that Mishka is acting as the gallery in this sense and there is a gallery mark up.
