Henkei Thrust & Dirge Question

I've noticed an abundance of Henkei Thrust on eBay for pretty cheap, I got one for $65.00US shipped recently.

What's with the high prices for Henkei Dirge ? Is he rarer than Thrust ???

I'd love to score him for the same price as Thrust but I think that's impossible.

I was able to get both of mine for $145 CDN shipped to a friends address in the States from Tempting Toys last month. I didn't want to pay through the nose for either one of them, especially on BBTS.

Got them both for $50 each the day of the release on Ebay plus $20 shipping (seller shipped both figures at the same time)...

Re: Henkei Thrust & Dirge Question

I believe I paid $130 shipped for both. Over abundance of 1 but not the other eh? Lets hope for the best and not think KO.

Re: Henkei Thrust & Dirge Question

I've heard that Dirge was more prone to breakage than thrust. From people being dumb asses and thinking his wings fold like Ramjets. They don't.

Re: Henkei Thrust & Dirge Question

Why are they so expensive? Like wow two new Deluxe class figures should not cost that much.

Re: Henkei Thrust & Dirge Question

Well, they're Henkei, so right off the bat, they will cost more. They're also store exclusives, and that makes the price steeper again.

Re: Henkei Thrust & Dirge Question

Most Henkei are about $30 CDN in my experience. I did not know that they were store exclusives though.

Re: Henkei Thrust & Dirge Question

And these were $40 (3000 Yen) each. Not counting getting them to a Japanese address then to the reseller. The best prices for them would be from
Japanese sellers.
