J/K. Seriously, I would not pay anywhere near 800 PP for this thing. Maybe 40-80 for the novelty of it, but that shiny would wear off really quickly.

Adding my voice to the 'this is way too expensive' camp. No plans on buying this, not even slightly tempted.
Too expensive, even for my Leperchaun villain character.
On another note, am I the only old-timer who reads "800pp" and translates into "800 plat" in his head?

This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

I was completely ready to buy this... until I saw the price tag. I thought it said 600 at first and thought to myself "they must be nuts". Then I noticed it was actually 800 and my jaw dropped.
I don't understand the mind set in this one. Is it the lack luster 10% inf that makes it so expensive? Are they gauging how big of a sucker some of are by making this a limited time thing? I'm not sure, but what
I am sure of is that they lost out on 1 definte buy with a insanely high price tag.
I bought every vanity pet up until this point but if they continue with this price trend they won't see another penny from me for a pet.

Hey, does the Leprechaun actually die? Has anyone actually bought it to confirm whether it does? It looks like it's supposed to be un-killable.

I played with a couple of people that have it last night and you can't even target it.
EDIT: It does not zone with you however... You need to summon again after traveling between zones or when entering a mission.
@Alpha XBS ~ Victory
Thunder Light - Peacebringer * Displaced Calibre - Dual Pistols/Time Corruptor * Defendatron WS - Warshade
Madame Distress - Ill/Rad Controller * Madame Infernus - Fire/Thermal Corruptor
The leprechaun can't be targeted or killed.
The price is way too high. That said, I bought it. I have a toon named Psionic Leprechaun and couldn't resist buying him a companion. But even 400pp would have been much more palatable.

If the price is 'way too high' but you bought it, anyway, what price would it have to be before you know you wouldn't buy it? I ask because saying something is overpriced then buying it anyway is unlikely to motivate the seller into offering lower pricing in the future. That's not meant as a criticism against you or anyone else buying the leprechaun (a phrase I never imagined myself typing out), I'm just curious where the breaking point is for everyone.

The price is too high, this guy is supposed to be a cheap, invincible, fast-moving, revenue making machine.
As it is now, he costs too much, he's too slow, he leaves at the first sign of trouble, and he doesn't even make any money back that you pay to get him.
This is like one of those old fables about buyer beware or something like that. I mean what is this, some sort of monkey's paw or leprechau- oh, wait...
you could have it all

This made me laugh, but seriously, if you want a little green man in a funny hat to follow you have the PL'er toon dress up in green and only earn 499 million and he can help you fight even and last longer, just saying.|

But an influence boost? That's so not worth spending money on. PL some n00bs in AE; apparently now people are paying 500 million a run for that, or something. That more gold than a leprechaun has hidden under the rainbow. The Leprechaun should boost all drops--influence/prestige, salvage, recipes and tickets--if they want 10 bucks for it. Consider him a permanent, slightly weaker, version of the Windfall temp. I bet you'd see a sea of green little men in Incarnate trials if they worked like that  all praetoria's drops belong to Leprechaun dimension |
