I was looking for the other thread recently. I noticed on the PM website that these are no longer available online and the eBay prices have gone up from the 99.95 on release. They are still available at other places but interesting to see if sales continue to go up in price.
I think this thread was brought back to life by a failed spammer... still trying to work out david778866's intention. edit - yep, found his email in a spammers database. Goooooooooone.
Came out slightly cheaper. I recall seeing them floating around at $105 but wasn't really popular even then.
Mint release was 114 but they were on eBay at 99.95. bought 1 of these and am going to collect the set. Looking forward to the polar bear and the tiger.
