Yeah image anime charges like 10 ~ 30 more then anywhere else, but they are usually the first to get anything stateside that i know of and its fast shipping for me since i live in NJ. so if its something I really want bad and fast, I go with them, it usually works out to about the same if you order from HLJ (like one item) with shipping included.

Guess I exaggerated the cost of the Guyver line a bit. I think I based the costs off my purchase from image anime, which always seems to cost more since they're an import store?? My apologies. Still looking forward to this Karas though. It's just too cool! ;D Dude, no apologies needed. Wasn't meant to correct you specifically, rather riding your point to talk about what Max used to offer at a lower price range but still high quality stuff. I love the Guyver figures. While some are better than others, they do feel almost custom made stuff with the airbrusg, panel lines and clear parts...minus some inevitable QC or seams on the parts. But even then, it doesn't cross the 8000~ish yen range. 11800yen can get like a Premium Guyver figure, plus 2 Revoltech, in exchange of a smaller Karas. Max can never go as cheap as Bandai I know. But even doubling a SIC price of a single figure, it still round us up 7000yen. We are talking about more than triple of a SIC here .

yeah but it all falls down to how bad you want it. I have seen (and myself personally) quite a few people lay down 100 on revlotech figures, so asking 118 for this is not too far off and well this is cooler then any revlo i have yet to see. to me this is a must have of a cool character from a semi cool anime. So again, do you want it bad enough?
Heres hoping they do some straight jackets from the anmime (you guessed it) Straight jacket lol. I really dig those metal suits.

I agree with mpchi, the price is absolutely BS. Remember those 1/10 Appleseed figures of Deunan & Briareos? Similar BS price. But Mechamasterj is right, it all falls down to how bad you want it. I'm not going to buy it right away. Because of the price, I have a feeling the price will come down before it goes up.
