I'm guessing they didn't get that... the completed auctions seem to have sold for about $100.

I am almost positive that those completed auctions you are seeing were Pre-Orders that were listed prior to Comic Con. I tried this route and got one for $85, only to have the whole deal canceled yesterday because the guy couldn't come through on his end. I suspect a lot of those pre-orders never actually got filled.

I have been obsessing over these since Comic Con started, i literally have been checking every few hours and as of last night there were only 3 open auctions on the 2-pack. The one for a grand plus two others around $100, which I'm sure will go much higher by the time they end.

I'm already committed since I got the Early Bird kit, so I'll have to pony up for the other one eventually. I just wonder how many were actually made.

Beefy He-Man sculpts kept me away from SW collecting for over a decade. I still consider those the most atrocious figures in the whole history of the line. So yeah, anything is an improvement compared to those.

I guess this is done for 2014?

I can't find any official announcement by Mattell, but I don't see this subscription up for renewal anywhere on their site either.

They still never formally announced the November figure but it has to be Ozymandias. Odd that he has not been shown to date.

No regrets jumping on board this train...was a great, albeit limited, run.

Removable blaster included.  8)

Sweet! Now how does one get the wife on board with one of these things?

I like them and plan to pick up the set.

Were you successful?

I managed to snag the free catalog and base, and the Early Bird kit, but I'm still awaiting confirmation on the prototype 2-pack. (I pre-ordered that on eBay but as of yesterday the seller had not been able to secure one yet, pretty sure these are gone now)

The aftermarket prices on these are going to be nuts I think. What a great concept though.

Chance of me seeing the Batman/Superman mash-up:

1) if Batman played by Christian Bale - 99%

2) if Batman played by JGL - 50%

3) if Batman played by some other doosh besides JGL or Bale - 0%

Seriously, just drive the frigging semi truck of cash to Bale's pad and park it.

I think they're doing an 18" Gipsy Danger.

   E...

Yeah, I saw it on eBay last night, from some seller in Denmark of all places. The thing looks awesome. I wonder what the MSRP will be here in the states.

Where's his blaster?

For $1500, they better not half-ass anything on these.

Holy hell, these are selling for $150 on ebay.  :-\

Shoot, that's nothing, some jackhole is selling the Alien Super 7 Prototype 2-pack for $995 on eBay right now. These sold for $40 at SDCC!

I swear I just wish I could reach through the computer and slap people sometimes.

Thanks for posting that pic. Yeah, those are pretty weak. Tell me the lightsabers aren't sculpted to their hands...ugh.

I've only seen grainy pics of the slide with the CW 2-pack, so I will reserve final judgment until I see better photos. What the hell with Obi-Wan though? How do you not put him in the Mando armor? That's like a license to print money.

The Black Series 6" Figures / Re: 6" Black Series Rumors

Yeah, I just saw the retraction on their Twitter feed. Good to have clarity on that, this line doesn't need any more obstacles between it and collectors.

One of our Targets dropped the price on these to $10 so I caved and picked up a Slave 1. I might get the Tank too if I see it out there.

The Clone Wars '08-'13 / Re: Recent Clone Wars Finds/Purchases
« on: July 19, 2013, 01:37 PM »
One of the local Targets finally went to 50% clearance on Clone Wars figures, so I started things off by grabbing the last Chewbacca and Phase I Clone Troopers they had.

$4.98 a pop is not terribly cheap, but enough to entice me to pick up some of the better figures. If they get down to 2-3 bucks I will probably grab all I see for cheap fodder.

I found Wave 1 at TRU yesterday and pounced on them for $15 each. I figure this line is going to have a very brief life.

I see they are advertising an SDCC Gerry Lane exclusive but he looks exactly the same as the regular single carded version that had been shown previously. So not sure what, if anything, is unique about that one.
