Taiwan promotion offers RTX 5080 for dragon figurines

In Taiwan, a new promotion gives residents a chance to win an MSI RTX 5080 graphics card. To get the card, customers must collect nine dragon figurines. These figurines come with the purchase of certain MSI RTX 50-series GPUs. The promotion has sparked interest in the second-hand market for collectors. Some people are willing to pay money to buy these figurines from others. One buyer reportedly offered about NT$4,000, or around $121, for a particular model. However, obtaining the graphics cards is not easy. They have seen significant price markups due to high demand and limited availability. The figurines are included with the Vanguard edition of MSI's GPUs, with a total of ten figures available, including one special model. In India, three lucky winners will also get a chance to buy an RTX 5080 at its original price. Many of these GPUs were sent to reviewers, but some missed out on testing the Vanguard edition. Overall, the promotion has created a buzz among gaming enthusiasts, and collectors are looking through their shelves for the MSI dragon figurines. For those who own them, it could be a good opportunity to sell and earn some money.
