Theres your lonely Logray on eBay Matt.  :o

LOGRAY Chase Secret Variant

HOLY $*(#!!
I think a few more might show on eBay since Ningyoushi sold some for $55.00 and sold out very quickly. I would hope they all went to collectors, but that is rarely the case.

That really is crazy. If that is a sign of things to come for collecting these little guys, we are in big trouble.

$200 for a set of 9 is a masterstroke methinks, I can't believe this.  We're partly to blame here being the home SW Kubrickia :-\

$158 for Logray = no Logray for me...   :'(

Wish I could have gotten in on the $55 one from Ningyoushi.   :(

The discrepancy between the Vinyl Jawa and the Logray is still perplexing.  The supply definitely doesn't favor Logray so far (relative to the Jawa), but the demand for him is far greater than the Jawa, which sometimes doesn't even get bids on it at $60.  Weird.  Really weird...

Please give us a shout here if Ningyoushi gets any more "cheap" Lograys in!  Is their site in English too?  Can't recall now...

I knew that!   :-[

If they've got an actual store up there, it's quite possible I've actually been to it.  I've popped into a few Japanese collectibles stores up there when I'm in town.

I think that's actually a fair price.  It indeed looks like a masterstroke, I won't argue that point.  But I do think the Logray is grossly overpriced to the point of absurdity right now.  Both are supposedly 1/96, so someone's hogging a whole pile of them or they are yet to come out.  I recall someone's point (Matt?) regarding the Jawa being sort of a variant of a reg, but uh, isn't that the same of the Boba chase figures?  Weren't the ratios roughly the same anyway?  People still wanted chase Boba's. 

Frankly I think it's all those damn Bearbrick collectors driving the price up.  I can and will live without that piece until it falls to the same price I paid for the Jawa (or less!).

Simon, if you're not too dinged up from your snowboarding trip, perhaps you could track this bastard down, and kick his ass on all of our behalves.  Yeah, that'd be great.  Thanks!

Just got back from the snow. man if you've never been snowboarding (or heaven forbid, skiing) in Japan, you gotta get out here. What an amazing place.

I know this seller very well. He spends BIG bucks on these. I saw him buy 100 sets on Yahoo! Japan in about 2 days when they were relased, so I don't think he has one of those who stripped the selves clean at TRU. He's a bit further down the food chain, like me.
