Anyone interested in Pentax K-x Key Chain?

LFLee · 01-28-2011, 08:02 AM

Hi,

Been looking for this Tomy Takara Pentax K-x key chain a while.... and finally found someone in Taiwan selling all 20 colors and willing to ship to US for about $135.

Example of the keychain:
Tomy Takara Pentax K-x

Still discussing how to pay for it as I don't have any bank in Taiwan. If you also interested, pm me and I can direct you to the appropriate place. If you live near Boston area we can buy it together.

**NO, I don't sell them for profit, just thought this is so cool and would like to share**

Only $135? That's a steal - for the seller.

Hm... you mean its expensive?
They cost 200 yen in Japan each, in some kind of 'egg shell'.

But the color you get depends on luck - if you were in Japan, then this is expensive.

People selling them on ebay (US) for $10-$15 each. The white color one has become more and more expensive as it is not easy to get the white color one.

Is one way you can collect all the colors available in K-x without buying the actual SLR camera!

Yes, I jokingly mean it's expensive (the phrase is usually meant when something is really inexpensive for the buyer). $10 or $15 is OK, I guess, as far as novelty key-chains go.

Meh they should be like 5 bucks I would buy one then.

If it is $135 then

mojoe_24 · 01-29-2011, 04:25 PM

haha for real? Who would pay that

KxBlaze · 01-29-2011, 08:57 PM

I'm pretty sure its $135 for ALL 20 because $135 each is a rip off especially if people are selling on ebay for 10-15.

mojoe_24 · 01-29-2011, 11:05 PM

Well, if each go for at least $10 on ebay that's ~$50 profit after fees/shipping on ebay.

leadbelly · 01-30-2011, 10:03 AM

Hmmm, I saw these at a local arcade here in the Philippines. I think they cost around $1 to $3 here. They sell it in plastic eggshells (as mentioned above) and you have to put in a token worth about a dollar. I forgot if it requires just one token or three though. You couldn't choose colors though. It dispenses in a gum-ball-machine-like, um, machine.

magkelly · 01-30-2011, 10:58 AM

I kind of want that pink one, but I wouldn't pay $10-15 for one, sorry. That's just too much $$$ for a key chain no matter how darned sweet it is. They are really cute though...

Does it work / can it take pictures? If so, how is the low light / high ISO performance?
Are there any Limited, DA* or third party lens options for it? How about a flash?
