    I already said, at this point, it's probably better to just buy ONE Apple stock.

    Someone was listing Sovereign M on Ebay for £480 (about $620) for months. I can't see it now, so maybe they've finally dropped their asking price.

    360 is pretty ludicrous, kinda makes you wonder is it even bother worth holding out for future reissues at these prices

    Just saw the price for the new edition at ShowZ and it made me laugh out loud. Did FansToys get offended at Takara's price hikes and are trying to reclaim the title of most overpriced figures?

    Takara: "No one would EVER charge more than we do! No one has the BALLS!"

    FansToys: "Hold my balls. ...I mean beer."

    I'm pretty sure that's all on ShowZ. The Chinese sellers have been doing this a lot with FT stuff lately. They get a little extra stock and then raise the price a bunch. ShowZ also have Koot for $200 and raised Hunk to $130 before it sold out again. FT has definitely raised prices lately, but I don't think we can pin this one on them.

    It was hilarious seeing the price on Hunk go up in real time; it was like $110... then $115... $120... $130. Was like watching the stock market go up.

    When showz stock from FT runs out they source it from other markets. That's the reason for the price

    I was considering Sovereign if they reissued him, but I guess I'll keep waiting for someone else to do Galvatron, because that price is insane, and getting it from the US would end up costing me the same either way. Bloody ridiculous.

    Looks like FansToys is doing what Takara has already done to me, price me right out of the market.

    Time to find something else to collect.

    Thank goodness XTB is coming out with Abaddon.

    It can't possibly be higher than FansToys, can it?

    XTB: hold my beer.
