If you miss the preorder window for exclusives you're stuck paying at least a 50% markup on the aftermarket. That's a problem for exclusives in general, but it's especially annoying for SHFs where the majority of characters are exclusives.

I will offer the devil's advocate that that generally just seems to happen for Seihous these days. The last normal mainline this really happened with was 01 and even there Vulcan stayed up for a good while -- Saber and Blades are still available multiple places and both Revi and Vice are still both completely available on AmiAmi. That might be due to Bandai actually fixing this shit but either way I think if we were to say, see, Live, Zero-Two or Espada at retail; it would probably be fine

I feel like in each line there's two or three webshops releases that shoot up in price, but the rest more or less hover around their original price? The Zero-One stuff that's not Horobi or Valkyrie hasn't reached triple digits. Even in Saber the newer releases like Kenzan, Buster, and Saikou are still around 7-8K
I don't think there wasn't anything from Zi-O going for 10,000 +

Ohma was that for a while, but the re-issue seemingly brought that to a close. On which note, Cross-Z has surprisingly shot down in price in the last few months

I'm not a fan of how the 50th anniversary releases of Seihou Ichigo and Kuuga as retail releases have shot up quickly in price on Mandarake. I was never ever able to get an order in and even when they started showing up on Mandarake they were already listed at 9000 yen or above.
This makes me fearful of the 50th anniversary release of Decade at the end of this month. While that has indeed caused the original release seihou price to drop the cracked joints still exist on those so I rather see if this latest release will be plagued with the same issues |

Definitely a shame. I've started to consider 50th Ichigo myself but his being double the price is... so difficult to contend with

You?re also limited on where you get exclusives. Sites like Mandarake are pretty much my only option for exclusives.

AmiAmi's pre-owned section is a good backup. It's practically just those two for me though; aside from pre-ordering which I use Hobby Genki for

I'm glad I was able to grab Seihou Kuuga Rising Ultimate at 10000 yen recently before they raised the price to 13000 yen on there now.
It's really hit or miss like others have said with what soars in price or drops in price and how fast it happens. Even with rereleases apparently |
