 Re: A Nag Pa I Root
I'm pretty sure that triple the price should raise a few questions, in general. I also hope that a prankster who stamps "fuck the USA" on the foot of his toys could take some sass

2000 because he hired a guy who makes staples in Japan to make the staples that keep the bag closed.

 Re: A Nag Pa I Root
I actually quite like that 4-eyes. The nice colour makes up for the fact that it is unpainted, which usually I am not that into. Would have loved to have a raffle chance at this guy; I much prefer it over some of the other releases. Oh sorry, back to the drama.....

A Mishka release is always going to cost more, the money is being split up in so many different ways, The mask looks great I'm sure it cost a ton to have someone custom make a handful of them. That being said it's too much for me but with people paying the prices they do on ebay, someone has the money. At least this money is going to the artists.

 Re: A Nag Pa I Root
Hi. I like Nags. I'd love to own one some day. I won't pay flipper prices. I think it kinda sucks that some people buy with the intent of profit rather than for the desire of actually owning it. It happens with almost any collectable tho... Our market is just so niche that it's easier to complain, rather than to accept that that's how it tends to be. I understand the Mishka "gallery markup", but couldn't justify it within my own personal budget. Even "reasonable" aftermarket prices are too hefty for my wallet. However, if I were making 5X the salary I am now, I'm sure I'd find a way to justify spending 5X more than my current max. If I were to personally spend that much on a toy, you can be damn sure it'd stay in my collection, and thusly not inflate the market price upon resale. It's all relative. I could give a rats ass what that Nag over there sold for, and I could give a rats teet what that dude over there spent on a Nzombi. If it's not my toy, and it's not my loot, then I won't give any parts of my rat. Still hoping I win an auction one day, or that karma works it's magic and someone hooks me up close to retail. That'd be fun! ...Never understood the drama in this thread.

 Re: A Nag Pa I Root
Had the market been limited to myself only, then sure. But if I'm not reselling later at the same or greater cost to get my funds back on the toy, but keeping it on my own shelves instead, then I doubt I'd be convincing the market as a mass audience that this is what the going rate should be. That's just me spending an awful lot to add a figure to my collection. No one's hand is being forced to buy or sell for said amount the next time that toy is sold. But just wait til the drama starts... the "I can't believe that much was spent!!?", the posting of expired auctions to point out their ending costs, and the witch hunt for the seller of said figure. Now, is where the market as a mass is affected. Now that the news is out and the drama/hype machine is cranking, one man's personal max on a coveted toy becomes the next man's "what I can get away with charging the next sucker in line". bunnyboy wrote: Cubensis wrote: However, if I were making 5X the salary I am now, I'm sure I'd find a way to justify spending 5X more than my current max.

That is freaking insane.
Lucha mask is icing, hot fudge, nuts AND cherry on the cake. Or sundae, for that matter....
Seriously.
Dude.
