It's currently up at around the $450 mark on eBay.
If anyone knows of a reasonable source for this, please drop me a line!

So now they've tested the waters, what are the chances that they will release red and gray variants?
:(
Thought ehobby would sell it but looks like not
Nope. AFAIK its a BAPE exclusive, but I'm hoping RK will get it as they have previous ones.Quote:

Did anyone here end up getting one of these?
According to some people on TFW, the store Acetoy was sending out the old Gen1 Bapes instead of the new MP versions... which are now selling for US$400-$600 on ebay, compared to about $200 for the Gen1 version. (and just wrapped in bubblewrap, causing some damage to the box)
The problem appears to be that they can't get it replaced (perhaps due to being out of stock), and a refund through paypal means they lose most of the refund posting it back with tracking.
The alternative is get a couple hundred dollars by selling the Gen1 version, but they are likely to pay a lot more to get the MP version from ebay than they were buying it for from Acetoy.
They've since added a couple Gen1 images to their listing, but the title and majority of images are the MP version.
(so if they were sending out the Gen1 version for $400, people lose out if they keep it (worth only $200) or send it back (lose $50-100 for postage))
i think someone did & the correct version too. I remember seeing something in an acquisition thread, but can't remember which month
It was in September.
