****ing price gouging.

Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain: Play Arts Kai - 11" Venom Snake (Sneaking Suit) - Metal Gear Solid Metal Gear Solid 5

 

[Frank Jaeger]

If Figma Snake is $80 then PAKs look (fairly) normally priced for the current market value

exactly why I don't shop on BBTS that often

Limited edition Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain PS4 coming to Europe - PlayStation.Blog.Europe

 

[Frank Jaeger]

[Diamond Dog]

AmiAmi has it for $74 and list $104

$120 and it doesn't even come with much of anything. I only buy figuarts from them mostly, and Cloud since I couldn't get it anywhere else. I stopped buying HT from the completely.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

Whats the price of it from regular US retailers and not importing from Japan?

I cant believe they put such a big mark up on it

 

[Snake Plissken]

They've been going steady at $99, even on Amazon.

This new $120 **** is outright ridulious. Amiami always makes theirs down to around $60-70. This new Venom Snake, is $79 on Amiami before shipping. So it's probably about $99 shipped.

man i only just realized how expensive that MGSTTP Volgin is!!!

£110 in comparison to TTP Snake who was £85. They are going to be a shelf warmer for the rest of time

 

[Snake Plissken]

I'm going to wait on the Volgin. I don't think I'll have any problem finding one after months after release.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

I'm almost certain it will hit the bargain bin at some point on some website

 

[Snake Plissken]

I don't know where they get these prices from. They've literally doubled from the inception of the Kai line. I remember the Street Fighter line started at about $50 I think, and Snake and Fox were the first at $60.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

Yeah Solid, Fox and Meryl all £50.

What blows my mind is they overprice characters that aren't vital or supposed 'main' to collections. like i said in my earlier post £85 for TTP Snake but £109 for Volgin?

They will be the same size unless they upped the scale again for Volgin, but they have been better making TTP Snake £100 and dropped the price of Volgin

Use Nippon-Yasan if you want burning man. It's £49ish + about £10 postage ( they always mark items as low value too. I use them frequently. Ill be getting Figma Solid Snake too as thats just over £30 + postage)

Nippon-Yasan is a great site for importing and prices. Only thing to note is that once an item is released they sell in batches, then raise the price a little. Sell a new batch. So you need to be on the ball and get items when they are in stock as early as possible.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

I'm on the MGS2 figma right now for that price

Scratch that, just checked and its not available

 

[Kiva]

If you check the page on release day it will be available. I've been using them since the end of last year and they are my new go-to site for smaller figures like these. I dont pre-order from them i just wait until the release day and refresh till it comes in stock and nab one. Their way of trading is strange, all their pre-orders are not for their entire stock its for the initial cheapest batch and then when the release date hits you can order more at the base price, then they start slowly building the price. So i wouldnt worry if you wanted to use them

 

[Frank Jaeger]

Cool man thanks for the info!

When is it supposedly being released there or are you not savvy to that

 

[Snake Plissken]

I think Goodsmile said the 16th.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

damn even better, smack bang on my birthday

Might have to treat myself at that price
