Just judging on cost alone, that's chump change when compared to:

http://www.rightstuf.com/1-800-338-6827/catalogmgr/PVGUw6YhYIbHmvK6v1/browse/item/62207/4/0/0

When factoring in unit-cost, it's not so bad, and the packaging is gorgeous...

At least Kara no Kyoukai is region-free. ^^; It's also now sold out at TRSI. I wonder how many were sold via TRSI and Bandai's store. I doubt that we'll ever find out, though...

Holy crap. They actually charged that much for Tenchi? Wow, talk about your super limited item though. I bet the few who have this feel pretty lucky. Or pretty stupid that they spent 1200 dollars on 25 dvds. Laughing

I weep at the thought of anyone buying that Tenchi Muyo set....


This one made me laugh. Here you go, folks:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Nurse-Nanako-Mini-Bust-Anime-Un-Released-Prototype-RARE-/380313623780?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item588c755ce4

An unfinished(?), one armed, gibbled looking, Nurse Angel Nanako mini bust figure. I don't care if this thing is "rare" or "one of a kind". It is hideous looking and not worth almost 3 grand. Her arm reminds me of spaghetti for some reason. Anime hyper

While doing a search for the 3rd FMP! novel, I came across this.

I know the novel is OOP right now, but DAMN. Somebody's crazy. Anime dazed

Don't think I'd pay a penny for that. But what's that battery for? Hope it comes with a brain for that price.

Haha I'm totally not a Tenchi fan though Very Happy Cool box. That would suck if a termite got to it.

I don't think I should buy anime anymore. The woman is getting pissed. Last credit card payment totaled $1,400... Shocked

Dammit, HH! Why do you have to post adorable things from series I like? Adorable and expensive!

But it's ok, I've promised myself to never buy any more plushies ever since I never have room for them.

I think the battery is for comparing, to give you an idea on the size of the figure.

That or this thing could be a mini vibrator. Anime hyper
