The much anticipated pair of custom Evangelion Rei Stratocaster and Telecaster from Fender Japan which I mentioned here is finally on auction in Yahoo! Japan. But before you get all excited about wanting to bid and win one of these, I’d like to point out that with a little less than a day left in the auctions (ends 12th Dec 09), the price of the Rei Stratocaster is currently at 9,082,000 YEN ($100,000.00) while the Rei Telecaster 7,756,000 YEN ($86,000.00). No, your eyes are not deceiving you…the bidding on the Rei Stratocaster is already up to a little over $100K! You could almost buy a (cheap) apartment with that money!

So I guess most of us mere mortals will just have to sit back and let the Evangelion fanatics with deep pockets to fight it out. Any guesses how much these will end up going for?

Seeing this arcade board of Sega’s Golden Axe 2: The Revenge of Death Adder on Yahoo! Japan Auction brought back very fond memories of 2 of my best friends in high school and me frantically popping in coin after coin trying to complete this game. Ahh those were the days. Those who have played this great game in arcades will know that this is not an easy game to complete without using heaps of credits, at least that’s how it was with us. The game though, was an absolute blast, especially if you have 3-4 players simultaneously since you’ll be able to perform special group attacks such as the spinning piledriver! This is one of those games you just have to play with some buddies to understand why arcades should live forever and some games will never be the same when played at home.

I was so glad to see this on YJ Auctions since I don’t think they come up very often, but I’m also pretty bummed that 23,000 YEN (assuming it doesn’t go any higher) is a fair chunk of change for an old game. So I guess my dream of putting this beauty into a restored cabinet will have to be put on hold, just like so many of my other projects due to time & money constraints. *sigh* Welcome back to the real world.
