700 dollars to ship a 5cm figure?  What do they have to smuggle it to the US in their ass?

They actually have a fat midget that fits easily in a crate with air holes swallow it hole in a solid gold bag and then shit it out on your doorstep in spectacular fashion.  You're really paying for the complete show, and the midget's future medical bills.   :-k

Much of his other stuff is shipped for $6.99.  Misplaced decimal point man strikes again!

Ewww.  Do I get to keep the gold bag?

Yeah you do. You'd get to keep the midget too if it weren't for those damned anti-slave/free will laws. :roll:

I didn't look at his other auctions.  I just assumed it was another ebay scam like so many.

From what  I got is that it is a vending machine that dispenses 5cm figures.  The machine itself is likely quite big/heavy.  Sorry to poop on the party.


EDIT: And I am wrong. SO wrong.  It is a Capsual toy that looks like a vending machine and it spits out even smaller toys.

That would be cool, but it's just a little trinket; it was indeed a mistake and has been revised to $6.99, as Arkhan noted.  Sorry to shit in your shoe and watch it run through.  :)
