I didn't mean to say that all Miku Nendoroids were 26 bucks. I looked on Amazon, and a lot of them are in the 20-40 dollar range, with the more uncommon and song-related ones going for more (Senbonzakura Miku goes for about $50, Sakura Miku for about $45, the really elaborate Magical Snow Miku for about $85, Strawberry White Kimono Miku for about $123 [yikes!], etc). It's just that, since Miku is so popular, figures of her are more common and tend to be on the less expensive side, y'know?

It's a shame GUMIs are so rare, but I understand now that's why she's so expensive. Maybe these prices just seem high to me because I'm stingy and generally not used to paying for things like this, especially at such prices.

I've checked out TOM before (forgot about it, oops), so I guess I'll give it another look. I'll also check out Mandarake too. Thanks for the tips!
