The Kuroshitsuji anime is just bad news...

...for my wallet.

It seems that the anime has inspired any number of high-end collectors' items for the series, including:

A word of warning... if you see certain sales posts, some items are HEAVILY marked up, sometimes double the original price. Watch out!

Ahaha, yeah...thanks for the heads-up! :) I usually order straight from Animate.jp via my deputy service (which has its own markups unfortunately) but they seem to stick to the original list prices.

The items I posted about are all only available for preorder still if I'm not mistaken. Are people posting sales for them already?

I guess the only one I'd be trying to get elsewhere is the Ciel, which doesn't seem to be on Animate's site yet, though from Toboso-sensei's post, it seems like he's the companion to the Static Arts Sebastian and is coming out in October?

By the way, I love your Kuroshitsuji posts; thanks for all the info and whatnot 'cos I don't always get the chance to keep up. ;)

They are indeed only for presale right now. In fact, the Sebastian figure doesn't even have a fixed date yet. My receipt reads "99th of October".

I just got a little worried because your post came about two posts after one on the main comm, where someone is trying to sell the eyepatch for almost $60, when it retails for under 30 (and other similarly-priced goods). I wish I could do something about it, because that kind of markup is disgusting.
