I don't know much about these toys, but he must be rare given the action in this auction:

Hey John.

I'd like to suggest everyone refrain from posting live auctions, as it tends to increase the final price when more eyes go on it.

Not a written rule, but just a courtesey to those on the board who are/are thinking of going for it

Posting after the auction ends and saying, 'WHOA, WHAT A PRICE' is acceptable ;D

Sorry, John - I hate to modify posts, but Bill is right. Its an unwritten rule not to post live auction links unless they are yours. I know there will be several members here and elsewhere who will be pursuing that and we don't want to drive up the price for them. Thanks!

Nah, it was already over $1K when I first saw it this morning, before he posted.

Sorry guys, had not seen it written as a rule. It was over a G when I posted the link.

Well, I didn't see the link prostockjohn posted,
but I think what auction you are talking about

To answer your question prostockjohn.
Yes its rare, but not super rare.
But many collectors want this UFO Diapolon DX Gasshin
set...it's one of the holy Diapolon grails.
Lots of people want it = price goes up.
Incomplete sets without outer box pop up quiet "often".
But a mint one is special.

What can I say more. I want one too
It's a awesome set... but I'm also happy
with my DX Diapolons in individual boxes.

[prostockjohn]

Dang is all I can say.

[chogoman]

$5,1k

I only could say:

wow

Someone really wanted it...

[admin1 aka Ed]

I can justify 1K for those pins....but not 3K

The box isn't that compelling in my book. That said I'd love one anyways
