Ridiculous… I will say at least 40% of the price is wasted on the road-roller.
If GSC is really dropping to the level of resorting to artificially boosting prices through this sort of method, I am really disappointed with them.

no no
i’m pretty convinced they’re “artificially boosting” the prices for no reason.
the steam roller should NOT add this much cost.
BRS retailed for 9800Y and had way more detail in sculpt and paint, was a bigger figure, and utilized more moments which required handmade paintjobs.
This figure, does not have any of that. There is no reason for the price to be 11800Y. I have no idea why figures are becoming more expensive these days.
I remember when I bought Chua Churam for 6800Y back in 2008. Now if that figure was issued today she’d easily go for double that. It’s ridiculous.

Even at this ridiculous pricing, she has still managed to hit third position on Amazon JP’s best seller list…

Well, at the very least GSC’s still not as bad as CM’s Corporation with that sitting position 1/8 Sankarea which costs 9,240…
