The box on Ecto-1A is pretty beat up, but that's okay because I'm going to open it, and depending on the condition of the Slimed Heroes boxes (you never can tell with these eBay people), I may open them too. The Egon I think I'll try to sell or trade to the local store with old stuff, if they take trades or buy; the reason being, we had the Power Pack Heroes when I was a kid, so there's little nostalgic magic in owning them again. (However, it's interesting because back in the early 90's, my mom purchased all of the Power Pack figures and stored them away as an "investment." My brothers and I discovered them, flipped out, and she let us open them all. Oh well).
My plan for the Egon is to either sell him, or use him to secure complete, loose Slimed Heroes Peter and Egon, which I believe they have at the local vintage toy shop. I feel one MOC figure for two loose figures is a fair trade, but who knows how these people will react.
I also got a letter today from the state of California, which says that Toy Rocket has filed for bankruptcy. This affects me, I suppose, because I have my Police Joker on pre-order with them. Looks like I won't be getting him any time soon. Sigh. There aren't any big Batman figures coming out other than that one that excite me, especially now that Movie Masters seems to have gone to the big toy box in the sky. If the price on these is $20 plus $8 shipping, I'm going to be the better man and walk away. I can't justify that, especially considering I paid less than that for both variants when these were ToyFare's Most Wanted and incredibly rare. Oh well.
Finally, I got my brother a very very late birthday present (and a "thanks for going to TRU to get me the minimates" present), the entire first series of Medicom's 20th anniversary Medal Gear Solid 7" figures. I'm waiting for the notice that this was a complete lie or something, because I got all 5 for $10 apiece with no shipping charge, directly from Hong Kong. There was feedback left from people who bought this same thing, and it was all positive, so I'm hopeful that it arrives at his place within 2 weeks.And that, my friends, is all for now.
Hi! I actually saw that auction and was going to bid on it but it went a little too high for me.
ReplyDeleteBut if you are willing and have not opened the figures, I would like to buy the Egon Power Pack and Slimed Heroes from you.
I noticed you said you wanted to get the complete loose Slimed Heroes. I still have all of mine and I can dig them up to see if I still have all of the parts but from what I can remember is that they have a good amount of the slime staining on them..
Anyways if you still have the four figures on the cards and want to sell them, contact me please!
