Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back.

Sonic, i understand what you try to point out, but i believe that it is incorrect and I explain. This kind of comparision is not that easy, because, for example, the license fee and the royalties for Guyver can be significantly cheaper than for Berserk. More, the materials involved can be different and with different quality.

Does anyone actually know how much licence fees actually cost for various franchises? I know Beserk is going through a resurgence because of the movies and animated series etc, but I doubt the price difference is solely just because of the license.

Maybe Prime 1 just believe there's going to be enough demand in East Asia, that they can get away with pricing it higher than usual.

And at least for apparent quality that Guyver piece does looks great, from head to base.

Bet those Asians love Berserk. On a large scale.

The Guyver pieces are super comparable with Berserk... Both lines are offering a variety of switchouts and retail at $999 and above..

Dead horse indeed, but it's obvious they've turned to nickel-and-diming folks. They'll get 5 orders for this at maximum.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Nice! I was hoping to get Zodd sometime this week but my order has been processing since Monday.

But with the serious situation with the wild fires that were happening so close Sideshow, they’re probably trying to get caught up with their day to day operations.
