Fassbender - check!
Weaving - check check!
Plemons - mmmm, not so much

I don't want Luke's son to be a creepy neo-Nazi, and let's face it, that's what 99% of us are going to think coming off that chilling performance in Breaking Bad. Nothing against the guy, just need some more distance from that role.

What happened with John Noble? Sleepy Hollow can't be keeping him THAT busy.

Does this mean I have a shot at finding Northstar at retail finally? At least, in theory?

I picked up the 10" Daryll action figure at my local comic store today. What a kick ass figure! The likeness is a vast improvement over the smaller scale counterpart, IMO.

I do not have room for a lot of these, and they would be pricey, so part of me kind of hopes they don't do too many more, but this one was impossible to resist.

Also saw they announced the next comic wave today: Rick (one-handed), Andrea, Dwight, and Punk Rock Zombie. Good stuff.

Yeah...I actually use eBay a LOT, but have gotten pretty shrewd over the years and it's very rare I have any kind of unpleasant dealing honestly. This was a perfect storm type thing though - high dollar item, extended length of time, an unexpected announcement of a surprise bonus figure, and resulting "nebulous" ownership rights.

I did get a reply back tonight and he agreed to let me have the item provided I wanted to pay for it. 

But you know what, I proposed fronting additional money in the first place, so I opened the door. And it's a good price, considering what I would pay for one otherwise by itself on eBay. So I took the deal.

I just figure I could be indignant and self-righteous about the whole thing and stick to my principles but I had a lot of doubt I would have gotten any helpful leverage out of eBay, and at the end of the day, I wanted the figure and this was the best option available.

I'll just have to make it up in sales. 

What a prick. He admitted he opened up the sealed case and removed the bonus figure. He claims it was "not part of the original auction" which of course is a load of BS. Now I just have to decide how expensive this is going to be to sort out and how big a stink I want to make about it. Weak, weak sauce.

Where did you see them?

Thanks for the input guys. The Youtube video was interesting but the "shake test" does not work so great for sabers I take it. I went back and pored over the IG pics and it looks like I've got the "Flat Tip Transition - Thin Tip" version and I have yet to see any record of repros with the similar thin tip, so this is probably legit, I'm thinking. I was able to confirm it is cast in blue plastic too and not painted in any way. Apparently some just have letters and some don't.
