A Cutie Honey with 1000 yen starting price

[heima]

Isn't it silly that the movie with the lunch box is cheaper than the movie alone? I wish the lunch box came with a thermos. If it did, I would jump on it.

Still, I bet there is a lot of guys in Jr. high school that would love to have that lunch box. But you know the administrators would take it away.

There are two third-party Amazon Prime vendors selling it for under $8.50. Looks like it may include a key chain. The reviews are very positive.

Don't forget the theme song is sung by the pachinko favourite Koda Kumi and is featured on the Live in Hall II pachinko.

Thanks for that Amazon link Mandoman. I broke down and bought a lunchbox.
Fingers crossed its the Eriko version.

SOOO if I read that right you paid around $400 for both one cell and one full pachinko shipped to your door? NOT bad at all!

Nope, not that good. I think that the total was about $500.

There must be a lot of packaging around honey to boot up the weight that much, mind you, mine was shipped just the machine. No balls or transformer.

Did my currency convert mess up? 36580yen converts to $357.65...
Plus that is a Pachi and a Pachi cell. I DO realize I am not the brightest but for those 2 items
shipped to your door seems like a great deal! Akimono is selling most of his machines from $400 +/- PLUS $89 for shipping
I have been wanting a V trigger for a bit now but my pachi buying days have been on hold for awhile now... I have not gotten one since
5 Brothers shut down and just as Suzuki Left had that that blow out and I got my Rave: Groove Adventure for $299 SHIPPED!!! I remember the Black Friday sale they had 3 pachis for UNDER $1K
MAN do I miss those times!

OH BTW! Welcome to the Cutie Honey ownership club!

Thanks Kimba. (I loved that series as a kid (Kimba). I can even sing the American theme song right this second )

I guess I was a little misleading. The shipping costs were 36580 yen (ouch!), 2890+336+724+27088+50+1500+4000=36588.
The cell (6772 yen) and the pachinko (8873 yen) bring the grand total cost to 52233 yen, or about $510. If I had FromJapan remove the transformer and the balls, I might have saved about $30 on shipping, but then it would cost that much to get replacements here.

The packages have already gone through customs and are just 40 miles away in my hometown, Oakland. Fedex says they will be delivered on Friday, but if they wanted to, they could probably deliver them tomorrow.

EVEN at $500 that IS a good deal IMHO!

Btw I even knew and was friendly with the Voice Actress that played Kimba Billie Lou Watts. She passed not that long ago, but I have been lucky over the years to meet a few actors from the era... If you look at my profile Pic that is the late Peter Fernandez
who was the voice of Speed Racer. I think that we got to be pretty good friends over all the years that I knew him.
