The Vintage Collection / Re: 2024 Last Figure Standing Poll
« on: October 14, 2024, 06:01 PM »
Next round is up for voting. Vote for three. The last six are:
- Luthen Rael
- Wrecker
- Crosshair
- Asajj Ventress
- Qimir / Stranger
- Aleil Schous
Glad to see most of the already released figures got eliminated. Asajj is the only redo left. The other five are all new.

Cobb Vanth via Amazon arrived yesterday. He looks sharp - I can't wait to crack him open.

Post here if you see that go on sale. I didn't even pre-order or buy one yet. I'm not as interested in this set and like you say, they've all gone on sale at some point.

Next round is up.
Pick six out of the final ten:
- Wrecker
- Anakin Skywalker (E3)
- Baze Malbus
- C-3PO (ANH)
- Luthen Rael
- Crosshair
- Snowtrooper
- Qimir / Stranger
- Arleil Schous (ANH)
- Asajj Ventress
- Obi-Wan Kenobi (E3)
- Tech
I don't frequent other sites so I really don't understand what people are looking for in Anakin, Kenobi, C-3PO, Snowtrooper, etc. on figures we've already got bunches of. I voted for the never been done figures, which conveniently is six.

I saw the family photo that the family should never have released. Let the man have some dignity!
Hasn't the guy been in hospice for something like two years? Tough dude.

Sometimes their stuff can sell out kinda quickly, like in a few days, but I don't recall an item like this that is available in their stores selling out in an hour or two. There is nothing particularly new and exciting about any of this so I can't imagine there was any kind of extra demand. I would expect that these will be back online at some point.

Yeah, these aren't cheap, especially for repaints. The one they did back in 2022 was $70 so I guess we're seeing $10 in

Brutal with the charity auction. I hope eBay feels like **** about their system that allows for this.
I just got an email to rate eBay's "buyer guarantee" process for my most recent sold item returned to me my a dumbass buyer. I lit them up as much as possible about the totally one sided aspect of their guarantee.
I really wish there were other alternatives to eBay where they might feel some competition and get back to their old model where people just worked it out. If a seller wasn't reputable they would get a crappy rating and nobody would buy from them or anyone with no feedback.

Kris Kristofferson and Pete Rose had a good run in to their 80s, but Dikembe was only in his late 50s. Too young.
And talk about a good run - Jimmy Carter is about to turn 100!

You've got a much bigger pair than I've got. 
I won't list anything that expensive on eBay. My threshold is about $350.
I've got my UCS Blockade Runner listed on Bricklink. I don't think there are any scams anyone can pull on Bricklink so I figure once I ship it my hands are clean. I always offer insurance at the buyers expense.
With eBay you're on the hook for everything and selling a $1700 set there would give me an ulcer. Although I just had a guy buy 23 individual sets for that much so I guess you can always get screwed somehow if someone is trying to do so.
