I know it probably doesn't help too much king_ghidorah, but when I was at the Frank & Son collectables show in L.A. last week on vacation, there was a dealer who had a lot of the x-plus 30 & 25 cm garage toys on hand. Including the '84, '89, '62, '64, '71 (with Hedorah's orbs), '68, Baragon, and probably some more I'm forgeting. The prices were reasonable for them (I think). most of the 25cm (like the '89) were in the $150-ish range & the 30cm weren't too much more (except some of the older stuff, like Baragon was over $200 IIRC).
It was also the first time I saw any of these in person & it only reinforced my opinion that, while really nice sculpts, they are overpriced for what you're getting & I'd really like to see them released as unpainted, unassembled vinyl kits at a fraction of the current price.
