I am guessing that the Napalm Death originally retailed for $65-80 dollars.
And the silver Smogon? (I haven't been following it) Anyone?

There's at least two people up here who have tracked one down.

this silver smoggon was about 2500-3000 yen. It's a great toy, but it's clear with auction prices and people with sales threads here and elsewhere that sometimes there's more money than brains in this scene.

Not surprised about the Napalm Death figure. It's wanted by people that normally do not collect toys, so opens up a whole different market demographic. Similar to Balzac stuff and Pushead toys.

There was a set of 3 clear Dokuromen that went for about Y18500. I was thinking I'd go for it, but I just couldn't pull the trigger. I kept thinking about what the fuggers retailed for. Ah well, if'n ya can't stand the heat...

last year S7 had the gargadeath for about $40. they were pretty easy to get back then.

paying these prices is just plain dumb. it's got to be good to be a japanese toy dealer right now.

They all shot up... there was a ton of semi-reasonable bids when I went to bed, and there were 6 hours left. When I woke up, people went nutso!
