For Sale: PG 1/60 Char's Custom Zaku II Red Metal Version 「MG Special Mechanic Seal W Chance Campaign」

To all the Zeon fans here with deep pockets: a "PG 1/60 Char's Custom Zaku II Red Metal Version" 「PG 1/60 MS-06S シャア専用ザクⅡ レッドメタルバージョン」 has been listed up for sale on Yahoo Auctions! This kit was a special prize from the "MG Special Mechanic Seal W Chance Campaign" 「ＭＧスペシャルメカニックシールＷチャンスキャンペーン」 and was given away to 300 lucky winners who participated in the campaign back in December 2002.

These kits are very sought-after and rarely show up in the secondary market. When they do, they tend to garnish quite an asking price. They are considered as investments for some collectors and often fetch prices over ￥200,000. This one, though, has a starting price of just ￥111,065, which is considerably lower than what they have been sold for in the past. Here's a link to the auction. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of Gundam history!

Update: this item has been sold (6/10/2016).
