aren’t you missing 1 zero?

I was thinking figures around the $150 were expensive. I like figures but I would never pay that much. Thx for the post. Might not be a big post, but I found it interested.

I have that amount of money, Beam me up…I will pay that money if they can talk, dance, sing, cook my dinner and take me out to Akihabara…Those figures can do that right?

@ Toonleap: If they can I’m in.

I’m sure some otaku who is collecting the franchise will have to buy it.

The max I’ve ever paid is $350 for the Cloud Stryfe and Hardy Daytona (the polystone resin one, not the cheap PVC ones).

Even then, that was actually worth it. This does not seem worth it. It’s amazing how people can attach value to something not because it actually cost that much, but more of what people believe it is worth.

isnt a misprint?
maybe if its a hard to get item I would pay it, but not at that price.

woeh. O_O That’s a very insane price even for Ichiban Kuji figures. I think that store is being an opportunist

Holy shit!

I’d never be able to get myself to buy figures for that price… unless of course, it’s a 1/1 scale!

Figures and other stuff sold in these so-called “treasure shops” in Akihabara are sometimes overpriced, as they are based on the rarity. For example my FFX-2 Play Art Rikku would cost over 10000 Yen now, and other uncommon stuff such as my hard-to-find special Can.Do 1/144 Kugelblitz anti-aircraft tank would cost over 5000 Yen (mind you that is barely 5cm x 2cm x 2cm in overall dimension).

198000 Yen / 2200USD… I can buy so many other limited stuff out there already o_o The most I’ve ever gone for a figure so far would probably be Alter’s Shin Sonic Fate.

It’s a bit much…even for me…
I saw it too when I was in Japan in the summer and I looked at the price…
I looked away so fast and got a different figure…
2200USD is way over my budget price…

WTF? Better get dolfie dreams, or something else, or maybe a Canon L Lenses…

So rarity could make prices fly high, but why would anyone want to spend that much for something rare if they can spend those money for many other great things? Obsession?

That’s some serious price tag!

Haha, no thaks. Even if I were super rich I wouldn’t buy something that expensive. At most, and assuming I’m super rich, would be $1000. Btw, I moved from AnimeSugoi to Chibified.

I’ve seen this set being sold somewhere else and the price tag was very similar if not the same as the sticker in that picture. I’m sorry, but I can’t possibly pay that much for a figure that Banpresto does regardless of how limited it is in nature. The level of quality would have to just be amazingly high for me to even start getting there. Yeah, I just can’t reasonably justify a purchase like that for plastic figures.

One reason I avoided figures for so long was because of their price. But alas, I finally gave in and paid $50 for my first BRS Nendoroid. That’s the most I’m willing to pay for now (I already ordered Miku, which will be my 2nd), but I’m sure one day I’ll splurge and make that big purchase.
