mr driller is one I do not have! I think it'll be hard to find that one. When it comes to swancrystals, I've been monitoring ebay, and basically if you try really hard you should be able to get one for just under $70. if you want to get one without any trouble, you'll probably pay around $90. And if you're curious, they were going for between $75 and $100 in stores in japan, so there's no benefit to trying to get one there!

Yeah, I'm not really expecting to find driller but I'd be happy. Most of what I want to find at PRGE is obscure crap and PCE titles so I don't think I'll get lucky but since I have to be there anyway I might as well shop around. The benefit of not finding anything is keeping my bank account happier... As far as swancrystals go last I checked they were over a hundred but that was 6 months ago and probably a couple shitty sellers on ebay. I have noticed that the clear blue and smoke/black ones almost always go for more, I'm guessing because they are a fair bit nicer looking than the violet and "wine"

That's the sad thing about the Crystal. IIRC, there are only four colors and they all suck. The earlier models were all over the place awesome.

You are correct. I like the clear blue as I usually do on anything but the solid colors in particular are so not appealing I wonder how they made it into production. Crazier still, I believe they were actually voted on by the public!

Yes. I can't remember what order they came out in, but the first two were Bandai's fault and I think the second two colors were decided by vote on their website.
