Powerful Gordon and Angry Gordon are the same thing, he was available in only 2002 I believe. The engine itself isn't that hard to find and I see it come up in lot sales, although thinking about it I don't think I've seen one since I've been watching auctions this summer. Last summer I saw a number of them sell loose for a reasonable price, probably under 10000 yen when considering the other things in the lots.
I'm very surprised prices are that high for one new in box, they certainly do not come up new as often as used ones but 101000 yen seems like a LOT. Even 66000 is more then I would have expected. I think two people decided they absolutely wanted one new in box and bid each other up more then most other people would. I seem to remember a new in box one sitting as a buy it now on the auctions for several weeks last summer, but I don't remember the price. I'm not sure how it became so expensive, it must have gotten a lot scarcer, even within the last year. I don't usually follow the auctions year-round, only in the summer, so maybe someone else could say something about the trend.
The price to get one loose in the US seems to have gone down, I remember them being the equivalent of about 20000 yen on eBay a few years ago, now there are some available for about 16000

I have a website where I have been writing about and photographing many of the sets and pieces that I find interesting.
