1k USD is really high for a Raikou, especially without a tag. You should be able to find one for at least half of that price tagged, lower without. They pop up for sale every so often, your best bet is to keep checking secondhand websites consistently every day until one that you like pops up. It can certainly take a bit but it'll definitely not be that expensive!
Unfortunately it's been like months since the last time I saw one up for sale so I am willing to spend that much money to get a perfect one with tag :(
Months isn't too long of a wait! I've seen a few within that timespan, though I don't believe they had hang tags and sold for the usual 200-300 USD, probably a bit more after the Japan post shipping increase and fees.
I got mine two or three years ago MWT for $500, so if someone told you to expect to pay $1k, especially on the least popular of the beasts, something is wrong. After these were lotto'd off, the price settled and has stayed pretty much the same over the past decade. Being able to spend more usually doesn't mean you get the item faster; only that you have more opportunities if one pops up on auction. Good luck on your search!
Unfortunately, the market price of these has risen drastically. Several auctions for the set, MWT, have gone for around $3500 USD as of late. An auction with one of the beasts, TTO, recently went for about $1000, when the rest of the lot was only worth about $200. The increasing demand for these plush has driven their price up steadily.
hi! I’m not sure if you were still looking for one but someone on here is selling one in another Pokemon Discord. Are you in the Pkmncollectors Discord? TTO for $700 OBO
