    Unless the one I own is an illusion, I think its been done :)

    With the pink gorilla he offered either red or blue backgrounds.

    Now I just wish I had ordered the right size. Thankfully its so nice I can't bring myself to take it out the bag. Its a great display now.

    But now you got me wanting to go check to make sure its red ...

    Well I guess the emails went out, since they are already being re-sold. So much for the continuous 'warning' messages.

    I totally want that black painted andoro seju, but 231k for a set that is fresh from the oven and an edition of 30???! Come on.
    Some seriously deep pockets still remaining in this hobby.

    Jeebus, and I thought the secondary market prices on these guys were dropping a little bit lately.

    Quite the contrary . . from what I understand, these auctions fund future HxS projects!

    It's a whole chunk o'change though! :shock:

    ^ Yep, I agree. As crazy as that is - and it is surely nuts - I would much rather see this kind of money going directly to Hirota-san than idiots selling on the second market. Good for him, and hope this gets us a long way closer to other HS releases. As long as it stays with rare one offs and doesn't become the only way for sales, or he ups his retail prices accordingly, I am fine with it.

    Agree. I think if HS wanted to have gone the auction only route that would have already happened. If people keep flipping it might but it's nice he try's to get stuff to people who don't have that kind of cash. Hopefully this funds another nice sculpt.

    ^Agree too. Another mini-battle set would be nice or is it time for a new Tyranno-ju?

    I think it's great he is doing the one-off auctions. He deserves it, it's tough making a decent living or even scraping by making these toys.
