King Zaurus series clear Garamond Poppy
I don´t know if this figure it´s strange or rare but that clear green its sweet!
Went for: 52,101 yen

 

Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

Beautiful but pricey! I wonder if the clear version was a special festival release? I'm only familiar with the solid dark geen version (which is also adorable, just like a begging pup )

 

Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

The clear Ultra figures are campaign prizes for Lotte gum.

This Popy clear Eleking went for 151,000 yen today.



Some of the other clear sofubi Lotte prizes.

Thank you for the explanation and fantastic photos chimply.kaiju!
There is something about those clear versions--an extra dimension to admire visually. First Kabaya and now these Lotte Gum toys. Looks like a considerable amount of effort went into the design and production, especially for a limited promotional release. A vintage version of "happy meal" toys? I bet they would be fun, filled with colorful candy. Pricewise, quite a shocker! Egads!

Non-copyright mantis man (former Bandai Kamen Rider poppy)
I did not know existed bootlegs of the villains of Kamen Rider.
Buyout Price: 300,000 yen

 

Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

For a bootleg?!? Prices are out-of-control.

Great Mazinger Pachi sofubi standard size
Went for: 89,600 yen
It's in great condition and looks like it has a small game inside, I can see some throwing stars.
But I still think it's too much ¥ for a Pachi figure.

Ultraman Taro ZAT personnel (MAT personnel) Soft Vinyl Bullmark
Standard size about 23cm
Went for: 101,200 yen

 

Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

^ Always wanted that ZAT figure ! The Kr boot is pretty cool - a looks like tigermask body,legs and boots.

The height of lunacy....

 

Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

^^^ Crazy prices! Love that tiger bootleg. I think I saw it last year under 5000 JPY, although not in baggie!

 

Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

Yeah you posted it in the Tigermask thread - 4300Y ... 40,000 for the bag and generic header

 

Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

Also .. I'm not a big fan on the new anonymous bidding thing on YJA - I want to know who what 3 letter name to curse when I run outside and scream at the heavens

a number ... thats just not the same

 

Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

I haven't bid on YJA in over 2 years so that's new to me! Wow really, so there are no 3 letter ID's anymore? That sucks. How are you supposed to know your bidding services ID then?I had all Mandarake's ID's memorized (can't recall any of them now though)

 

Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

Hooray for shill bidding.

 

Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

Yeah I think you have something there Sanjeev. That might partially explain some of the ludicrous prices on not so rare toys.

 

Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

You don't even see your own handle .. if your bidder 1 you are bidder 000001, if you are using a proxy bidder it will be confusing, it shows your feedback number but if its not your account thats not really a good identifier.

 

Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

Well that's just silly. I don't think the intent was to encourage more shill bidding but it more than likely will. I think the intent is for Yahoo to maximize profits under the guise of privacy, but reality is they probably did tons of testing and found users driving up bids because they were unsure who they were in the bidding hiearchy and realized oooohhh higher end value more money for us! Yet again proves they can never leave well enough alone by destoying something and making it less user friendly- see Flickr for proof.

 

Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

If you are logged in with your own account it does show your user ID in the bid history. As well as the section that shows what you're bidding on. The only confusion would be from people with no account. I dont think the web designers at YJA consider the needs of foreigners using third party services when they make site changes . It sucks for people without accounts, but the site was never intended to be used that way. My advice would be to find a service that lets you have your own account. That way you can have your own watch list, bid when you want etc. Not trying to downplay anyone's frustrations just my 2 cents.

 

Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

If you use a proxy bidder (and can't log into their account), you *still* know what your max bid was...so you ought to know whether or not you're winning, right? I think the frustration surrounding the rampant shill bidding that will inevitably ensue FAR outweighs that minor inconvenience.

68 ☆ Red Bullmark Ultraman Tsuburaya
I really do not know much about Ultraman figures and toys, but I read an article by Mark Nagata where he said that is one of the rarest.
Went for: 231,050 yen

 

Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

Wow you never see those come up for sale talk about super rare! For the price though I'll stick with my Marusan clone (¥ 226,050 cheaper!):

Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

It was not that bad the ending price, considering that there are four figures confirmed of the red Bullmark Ultraman. In addition Mark Nagata said in an interview that the price for one of these figures was around the 5,000 usd.
Thank´s for the link!
