I'm shaking so badly right now I can barely type. Without much opposition I managed to snag my grand supreme holy grail which I never ever though would happen.
Actually right around when my poor Scuzzy died was when one first went up for auction. I knew I was screwed because the seller was from Europe. Europe folk are huge fans of this franchise and go nuts over auctions that take place in their part of the world, so I never had a chance. Also didn't help that I was at work when the auction ended and the sniper program I tried using failed.
What really rubbed salt in the wound was when I found out a person from the internet I actually knew and hated won it. Not only that but the jerk ended up flipping the statue about a year later and made a massive profit on it.
I'm pretty mortified by how much I had to pay, but this is a once in a lifetime item that I only know of four people owning, including myself. It's such a mystery item I couldn't even find a manufacturer or edition size when I searched. I think I'd need to be fluent in Japanese and search that way to even uncover any facts about it.
