I've been eyeballing this thing for years and finally decided it was time. Sold a bunch of old anime stuff I wasn't into anymore and got something awesome.

It's made by a Japanese company called Goodsmile that makes all kinds of figures. The way they make figures in Japan is that everything is a limited run. They take pre-orders and then only make a little bit more than that. So at this point the only place to get one is a reseller. The price is actually about the same as the initial sale so it isn't really a problem until there is no more and then you have to pay gouged prices.
