I saw a Japanese carded :torpedo: for sale @ my local toy fair this morning, the trader was asking £22 for it..the card was in nice (if a little dusty) condition, I had to walk away as I'm brassic @ the moment (new car :-D )...Did I miss a once in a lifetime bargain & should I be kicking myself ?.. or was I right to walk away as it was an over priced ripp-off?

I have gotta say the Jap' artwork was loads better than th U.S. Hasbro card.

Probably over-priced you can probably get a cheaper one than that ed.

22 quid = 25-30 euros

No, that is fair to a little over priced.

Thanks Jaye...I'm glad I didn't pick it up now, :torpedo:'s not on my top ten list anyways, but having now seen the Japanese packaging, I've gotta say it was way better than the original Hasbro stuff, as it captured the look & feel of the Joe cartoon series well. The range photo', printed on the card backs, were more like the great figure dio's that you got in the comic summer specials.
