Allow me to introduce a new column on Jeremyriad: The eBay Deal of The Week. Each week, I’ll sift through eBay’s virtual vinyl to bring you a tantalizing toy (or set) that deserves your attention. Today, I’m featuring three lots of KFGU sofubi toys designed by Joe Ledbetter. They include individual editions released only in Asia and in quantities as low as 50 pieces worldwide. Personally, I don’t collect toys for the “thrill of the hunt;” I collect them because I like them, and I don’t feel the pieces are any more or less special the harder or easier they are to obtain. If you share my perspective, here’s a chance to increase your Joe Ledbetter kaiju toy collection (in full or near-complete sets of Sluggonadon, Gamerita and Hammerhead characters) by 25 pieces with a couple clicks.

lol. The “sales” were extended. I feel as if they are using the same tactics as Kohl’s meaning everything is always on sale to make people feel like they’re getting a good deal. But if you’ve shopped at Kohl’s, you know that this is always the case and that the percent off simply changes from time to time. It’s not a bad deal on the figures; I just thought it was funny that the sale continued.
