If youre paying $80 for a figuart, youre doing it wrong. When i was in New York i visited Image Anime, the guy there was impressed that a Brit had heard of them, but their prices were for the most part way overboard. I get they need a profit to cover the expense of running their store, but if i ever make it back, im browsing, not buying.

I totally get that stores have to make their cut, i totally understand that, but Kapow toys in the UK have a preorder up for SHF Agito Shining Form as Bandai is starting to be open to importing them to the UK. Their preorder is for £28 (less than $45 converted). Thats incredibly reasonable and not a huge margin, and this is the trial run to see if the market is suitably there.

Savvy collectors really shouldnt be getting stung by these prices when theres plenty of avenues to get them imported that will cost less in the long run.
