Kraken Clubs are 40% off ...in the SE store. :)

https://na.store.square-enix-games.com/final-fantasy-xi-plush---kraken-club

Bummer that people who bought it as pre-order paid $69.99 and now it's on mark-down to $40.79.

It's not even technically on-sale, it's just been marked down. It's still a great / sturdy plushy to own. Definitely recommend it!

Look's like a doggy chew toy, if it only had a squeaker.

I would say it's better quality than a chew toy. Here is a picture for scale. It's decent quality....but a shame that SE gouged customers on the pre-order.

It was already near that price on amiami for pre order. SE gonna get you in the shipping. Not that big of a discount, not sure why ppl still use that store over other options

Yeah, I've bought from Amiami before. Is the price just cheaper in Japan? How is Amiami able to sell SE's items cheaper than the SE?

I started buying up merch a while ago, then I ran into JP companies refusing to ship anywhere except the US and lost interest buying anymore.

I still don't get why they did that.

Is it really?

I would say this below is decent quality.

If at least the real merch was entirely gray.

Wtf it has this white margins? At first glance I though it was a NES control.

For a stuffed plushy, yes, it's decent. Are those Kraken Clubs 3D printed or made out of wood/metal? (I can't really tell). They look nice.

I think its the price in Japan, SE just marks it up either for profit or import fees or something.

They are real and they are spectacular.
