The second I saw Bandai in the title, I said to myself "This jacket's going to cost $1000".

I see people who will buy this jacket will get to save about $90.

Enough left over to buy the series.

Hey Bandai! Eddie Murphy from the 1980's called, he wants his jacket back.

At nearly a grand who does this appeal to, besides the super fans, collectors, and cosplayers? Actually, I think I've answered my own question.

Hey if I get a jacket, it gives me the right to go running around screaming "TETSUOOOO!"

I want this SO BAD. I would wear it every day. If the weather permitted, anyway.

AMAZING.

For a thousand buck, the jacket had better scream it for you!

The price is crazy insane to me but it's on par with designer clothes and stuff they sell at stores like Barney's. I think part of the appeal is that you can afford to get ripped off to such a degree.

OMG, I WANT !! Sadly, I cannot afford. Perhaps sometime, in an imaginary future where I relax sipping some fine brandy while warming my feet near a fire kept blazing with buckets full of $100 bills. Ah, perhaps then...

One of the preview images does show a motorcycle, as well as racing pants and boots. The model is even wearing gloves. Why can't those be available too? Not that I'd ever have the cash to shell out for it of course...

Now we don't feel so bad about the Olsen twin's alligator-skin $39,000 bag selling out. Laughing

At the rate the dollar is falling, by then, $100 bills wouldn't be worth the paper it's printed on but just perfect for kindlings. Laughing
