I don't think it's that unreasonable. If that is a legit release (which it looks like), that's a good price for it. And if it's readily available in Japan, considering the username of "otaku.com", I'd assume that they're trying to make this available for a good price outside of Japan. As in "if you're in Japan and want this, go buy it for yourself". |

Well, if I had the scratch, I'd definitely want this puppy:
Space Battleship Yamato 1 Meter Long A mere 296,000 Yen (approx. $3,600 US and another $170 to ship) and would look great on anybody's mantelpiece! |

For that price you can buy a Chinese Gundam statue (rebel version) like this.
Shipping will cost twice as much though (as with any Chinese products). |

Unlike animation cels, these hanken cels are different beasts entirely. They're the images used as cover art and the like, so they tend to carry a much higher premium. Here's a link with some more examples (with prices). |

But they'd still make money, and they'd have an easier time at the post office/FedEx/DHL whereever. So I don't really see where they're coming from. Don't get me wrong; of course, they have the right not to post to Japan, but it just seems silly to me. |

It's almost a bargain for something that size. That reminds me: there are plastic replica pistols of Revy's Cutlasses (from Black Lagoon) in Akihabara for around 32,000 yen, IIRC. |

I lolled so hard at this. Especially at the troll smile. LOL Here's a copy of Chrono Trigger. While a great game, it's worth nowhere near that, I don't care how much money you have : http://cgi.ebay.ca/Chrono-Trigger-New-Sealed-Super-Nintendo-SNES-VGA-90-/230580357925?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item35afa90b25 |

Not only that, but the remake for the DS has extras, and a revamped translation. Emulators FTW too. |

This was a good one.
It got up to $9,999,999 or something but was cancelled. |

If I'm correct, some internet phenomenon girl who did....I dunno, I think she put some vids on youtube or something. Doesn't excuse paying that much for a sleeping bag! Here's the "Know Your Meme" for it. |

Oh God....I frigging hate girls like her. They make me ashamed to be an anime fan. -.-' Also, by "bleeping" I mean f***ing. |
