Got my silver kubrick vader today. Very glad to see how nice the condition was. It came in one of the sealed bags as well, but that didn't last long  ;D

Did you tear him off the card too?

Anyone win any of Stealthtank's auctions tonight?  He had some more great items selling, but almost all too pricey for my taste.  I did land the Jedi Chase Fett from S1 for $74.  I almost went for the proto chase too, but it's too similar to the Fett Series common chase to spend a lot on IMO.

Picked up a Gree and the common Fett chase from Ningyoushi so only need the expensive ones now.  Whee.

I did.   ;D

Excellent work, well done.  I don't think I'd open that one as it would be too nice to display it alongside the TFV I have.

You say that now, but the completeist will get to you.  Great price on the Jedi Fett though.

I was bidding on the Series 7 chases but lost out on those.

I won the Anakin  for 104.00, Logray for 148.00 , and Yak Face for 124.50.  Ouch my wallet hurts. The weird thing is my max bid on Yak Face was 124.00. It said I was outbidded so I did not put another bid in. In the end, I only won 2 auctions. Then today for some strange reason I won it for the bid of 124.50. I never placed a higher bid. The auction ended and I lost. Not sure what happened here.Has this ever happened to anyone before. I 've been on Ebay for 11 years now and its never happened before.

I didn't, but wow to the guy who did! I'm going to keep mine carded as well to display next to the Hasbro TF Vader.

Nice wins!  Logray was a great score.  I hardly ever see that available. These are all good prices - I was bidding on all three, but they surpassed my limits. 

Are you sure you didn't bid higher on the Yakface?  The bid history shows you were the last person to bid with no earlier bids, which looks to me like you sniped it right at the end with a bid of 124.50 or higher.  The bids increase by $2.50 when you get to that level, so it makes sense that your bid was $2.50 higher than the next highest at $122.  I initially thought something wasn't right with the other guy's bidding, since he went from $120 to $122, but looks like he put in $120 about half an hour before it closed, then bumped that to $122 ten minutes later.  Your bid registered about 20 minutes after that and about a minute after I hit my limit ($115).

My guess is that he probably thought he typed '4' for '124' but hit either the '5', '7', or '8' key by mistake to actually bid 125, 127, or 128, to have placed the 124.50 bid.  In any case, all good prices for Yakkie.   :D
