That's absolutely insane. It also terrifies me a bit since I still need a Kiba Ranger to round out my Akibarangers. Luckily I got my Dragon Ranger when the price bottomed out a few months ago.

Another dealer had it for 150, but a good friend of mine is selling his for 65.

I assure you, not all Tamashi products were that marked up at the show. In fact a lot of them were retail plus shipping.

I sincerily hope that it's just dealers caught in JDF hype, due to him having been anounced as a guest(though canceled)

This. Gridon is pretty great, I like him lots. He's happily hanging out with Figma Thor now, getting some pointers on how to use a war hammer effectively.

yay crappy cell phone pics!

Got my Hibiki payment request but need to wait for a new one since I changed shipping to EMS. Ugh, I remember when amiami didn't need to recalculate shipping and just knew what the prices would be,
Mine has the same issue from time to time. Guess it's just a thing that happened on the production of the figure.

That's odd. When I go through the payment request process I always have the prices for all the options on show.

I saw someone on eBay who had one at auction for 150 bucks, his justification being "I bought it at SDCC, so it's a SDCC exclusive lol". The sad part is, it had at least 3 bids.

Excuse me while I go vomit.

Were any of those bids anywhere near his asking price? Because that will make me loose faith in humanity…

Or at least the JDF fans.

I didn't check the starting price, sorry.

Me too. I just paid for my Hibiki last night on AmiAmi, and I contemplated switching to EMS, but they wanted $10 more, so I stuck with RSAL.

This is why I hate scalpers. Scalpers like to fool people to thinking it's rare when it's not. I bump into Toku scalpers at Toys R Us the other day when one guy bought four Legacy Dragonzords and there was only four in stock. People should not spend this much money on something that is not worth the price.
