Usually when toys sell poorly in Japan, we eventually see the discount prices trickle down to our favorite retailers, or at the very least, Mandarake. The exception? This bitch. I didn't see her prices drop at any of the sites, and I heard she sold TERRIBLY (remember those photos of the shelfwarming 1000 yen Kagomes?) She barely ever shows up on Mandarake too. What's the deal?

I'm a big Takahashi fan, but Inu Yasha is my least favorite of her works. In other words, I kinda want this toy just because it's Takahashi, but I don't want to pay much.
