I got him for $50. That might be a little high but I knew he was in good health cause I saw him for like 3 months at my LFS and he is a lot bigger than anyone that I have ever seen in person anywhere

 

[blizz75]

no thats a pretty good deal for around here specially if hes 6"

 

[crox]

Is he a smasher?

 

[shogun323]
