Collectibles that you're glad you snagged before they went crazy in $$$

Anybody have a 1:1 BD Endoskull for sale by any chance?

 

[Kuzeh]

All the main 4 AVP HT Preds,
and the HT Marines (that I already sold ...)

 

[IronFingaz]

I am glad I got the 1:1 Arnold Terminator bust early enough. That thing is just amazing.

Although i havnt seen one on ebay in a long time so i don't know what they go for now.

Also Doctor Doom Excl. PF, Hulk PF and Maul 1:1 bust.

and the HT Marines (that I already sold ...)

Don't worry bro--they have a good home.

 

[prefused]

SSC Creature from the Black Lagoon - $50
HT P2 Elder - $170
HT Robocop - $70
Takara Microman AVP set - $50

 

[Cryoguns]

HT Robocop v1 - $90 shipped
HT Hicks - $135 shipped (preordered from overseas before SS got them)
HT Chopper Predator - $87 shipped on clearance

Also several Cy Girls figures, almost all of which were sold for substantially more than I paid when I bought them.

I'd also add HT Vasqez to that who I preordered from SS, but I kitbashed her into a Drake before I found out that HT was making a Drake later on

HT Chopper Predator - $87 shipped on clearance

snag of the century there dude

HT battle damaged endo. dont really know how much he goes for now cuz i dont really keep track of that stuff but i'm guessing it's a lot more than i paid. i'm also glad a got an exclusive 1/6 vader on pre-order within the 3 minute window or whatever the sellout time was. dont know if he will skyrocket in value but you never know, and i really wanted that extra hand.

Lets see, collectibles I'm glad I snagged before they hit crazy prices...NONE!

I seem to always want the stuff once it goes insane. I just got my PZ...paid $325 shipped for him and also just picked up a Noir de Plume that retailed for $125 I think...my price...$370 shipped!

 

[lcummins]

All 6 Medicom Evangelions.Especially yellow one-piece dress Asuka.

Nice! I have all six as well, but the school uniforms and the Eva Store exclusive, I was a bit late on to call bargains!

 

[icruise]

1/6 SSC Star Wars

Yeah, those have really skyrocketed.

I haven't been collecting as long as most of you, so I haven't had very long to buy things and have them appreciate in value. I did get the Elder Predator at retail and sold it for about twice what I paid. I'm also glad that I was able to pay prices close to retail for most of my Hot Toys Aliens stuff, because I just wouldn't have bought it at the prices we're seeing now.

I did have my Master Replicas original series Star Trek props more than double in value before I sold them, which was kind of nice. But most of my stuff doesn't really go up in value, and I'm fine with that.

I started late in the game too but some of my early scores that I got lucky with:

SS Wolf Bio - $250 shipped
HT Elder Pred 2 - $160 shipped

That's it. Everything else I got relatively scalped.

 

[King Darkness]

That's it. Everything else I got relatively scalped.

[MadCow]

DC Direct Mignola B/W Batman Statue

I picked up 2 at a LCS a few months after they were released for $55 each. I sold the extra right away for $90 to help recoop the cost for the one I kept. Too bad I didn't hold on to it a little longer...

lol, it's ok. You snooze, you lose, it's my bad I got caught up in the rush so late...

And actually I dont mind too much paying a 50% markup on some things that are well worth it, ie Predator busts, but when it's a 100 or 200% markup, that's when things get REALLY bad...::cough:: venom bust, PF Doom
