Perfect, my friend!! It helps a lot.

After more than 6 continuous hours looking throught Internet about this question, I found three prices: 28.500 Yen, 30.000 Yen and 31.500 Yen, but the 30.000 Yen souce was the most truthful and reliable (in my opinion) than the rest, and as you say as well 30.000 Yen, I can take as sure that was the original price. Thanks!!

By the way, I have an even more difficult question that I found impossible to solve until now. I'm trying to know the original and official price of the HK vintage reissues. Not interested in all of them, I'm only interested in the "new" ones, like the Specters (Wyvern, Surplices of Gold Saints), Lizard, Perseus, Giganto, Ophiuchus, Unicorn, etc... Guessing the prices is very hard because on that time (2003-2006) that prices were held in secret by HK dealers, which raised the prices at their will, keeping it in secret for the western people, us, who bought the anxiously no matter the price.

I can only guess those prices, they should be in a range of 15/20 HK$, but I would like to know the exact and official retail prices.

It's a hard one, uh?

I hope you can help me!

Thanks in advance.

Kike.

Sorry I don't have any information about the price of "new" ones.

I only have an old information dating from jully 2004 about the set containing Gamma, Epsylon, Eta, Beta and Delta HK. This set was available at approximately 100 euros at Hong Kong resellers and 150 euros at french resellers.

About the french version: in january the announced price in 2006 was between 18 euros and 23 euros.
The planning was:
- february: Pegase, Dragon et Cygne V1
- march: Sion, Cancer, Poisson versions surplis
- april: Radhamantys, Verseau, Capricorne and Gémeaux surplis

Finalement depuis les vintages de 1987, à peu d'exceptions près, Bandai n'a jamais été capable de rééditer ses figurines avec une qualité digne de ce nom

off topic:
you re right Lucifer17...Bandai HK released most figures (bronzes v1/asgard/golds/black box v2 gold) with paint loss!!
but for me the biggest mistake was that Bandai HK didn t released the Bronzes V3 in vintage...
why?? I don t know...

When Bandai released their first reissues (gold, bronzes v2 and v1, Hades etc..), the success was very high around the world.

In Europe, for example, we ordered massive lot of reissues from HK.

After Bandai took the decision to release these reissues in other countries but unfortunatly the fans had already bought it or the bad reputation of pain loss finished the job.

And, the other big problem : the MC collection started and finished to kill the vintage-like interest for a lot of people.

thanks for the explanation!!

that s why I hope Bandai will release the Saint Cloth Series Rebirth line...

This new line won't replace the "real" vintage style for me

I toyally agree with you on that.

You're right Sakuraxchan, the Sagittarius that comes with the black box is "ungrapped".
I've never seen a "grapped" Sagittarius from the Black Box.

I have this box too, and I bought it sealed. And when I opened it, the only figure that was uncut was Sagittarius. So we can say it comes with no "grappes"?

Juan

Yes we can say that.
I've never seen a Sagittarius Black Box with uncut runner parts.
