It shouldn't be too bad. Usually though buying just one item from any store isn't too worth it unless you really want something.

Thanks! It looks like I did. I'm curious to see what kind of box damage drove the price down.

well id get the medal set with it but its sold out :(

Honestly, anytime I've bought something off of Mandarake I don't ever see any real damage on the boxes or anything. So really it's hard to figure out what they mean.

...Unless a slight dent or crease causes them to freak out like Hot Wheels collectors or something.

Thanks for the info! I've seen similar comments delving back through threads from a couple of people around here. I guess some hardcore collectors can be pretty picky about the condition of their packaging. Those of us who just want them to break out and put on display tend to luck out then, I'd imagine. I think I'm going to become a Mandarake stalker. :lol

For those who want Phoenix Phantom- http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en...s-1286097.html

Probably nothing, Japan are NUTS with their pricing I swear. It's like a bit of dust touched the corner, let's knock 70% of the price off.

I want him, but do I want him for as much as most figures cost me with shipping...before I've added shipping for him?

I thought that was just Mandarake...

Yeah dude, don't automatically assume. Having lived in Japan, be grateful that Mandarake actually has prices like that.

I've had that from both Mandrake and Jungle, those are the only two I regularly buy from that mix preowned in with the new. I got DekaBlue for like 2000 yen because he was ex display on Jungle, yet he may as well have been brand new with how he was repackaged and stuff.

My post was also a joke and deliberately tongue in cheek. Everyone takes my posts so seriously on here...
