Maybe I'm an idiot but I find it hard to believe mass produced "toys" are really rare enough to warrant some of them skyrocketing in price.

I've read in forums how Orange Arms Gaim is a good first figure because of its design and affordability, then I look him up and he's over $100. So something happened after the posts I've read where he shot up in price.

I just don't get it. I've bought them for $20. and I've bought them for $100. and I don't get why one Kamen Rider SHF costs more than another.

The issue there is that Gaim was immensely popular amongst collectors when it first came out, while Ghost is almost universally hated (not to mention that Gaim was probably the pinnacle of non-renewal line Figuarts molds while Ghost's figuart was seen as a steep decline as far as toy engineering and design, though I never had the issues other people had with the articulation).

Although that's freakin' odd, I remember not too long ago you could find Gaim for like $30 on Amazon w/ free shipping. I wonder what the hell happened.
