Dude by Rainman

[turbo.VS.ozone]

Well the most recent fullset has just been reserved at 2250usd and I believe the one before that fetched 2000usd somewhere in that region. When I was actively looking for the Dude the prices i was offered him for ranged from 2000-2500usd

The figure is quite a showpiece!

Its stunning in my opinion arguably one of the finest ever done at 1/6th. Delighted to have him in my collection. I only have one Rainman want left and that's Bill! The most recent to sell well I say sell its been reserved was 2750 and before that I've heard of people paying 2500 gonna be awhile before I'll see him in my collection but one day. 2012 was a big year for me 1/6th wise easily my best year so far.

Is that a standard EB release? If so shouldnt set you back too much

Yes, this figure gets a lot of attention. Anyone who has a chance to snag it should sacrifice and go for it. You can't lose adding it to a collection.

Your going for the #45. I here you on that, but to go in at the peak of the hype is crazy, those will be floating around eBay for much cheaper once the #23 comes out. The warmups are not enough make you want to pay triple for it.

But the Dude? Now this is like a dinousaur fossil. There will be longer gaps of owners willing to sell because most of the new owners scored them on the secondary market.

But preference always weighs heaviest. I hope you get it and please review it because I need an opinion on this if I decide to purchase one.

I'm hoping to get the Jordan for myself as well. I have a friend in Hong Kong who's going try to snag one for me.

There are a few that are hitting it for $800....if I can either find a bid or someone lower than $800 ill grab it. It's kinda of a whack move for issuing it only out there but oh well. The Dude is the last piece I want that is a Rainman grail...I got Blondie and.....Wonka....never watched it as a kid....was too busy into horror and basketball lol

Ok I am definitely missing something here not being a basketball fan. Whats the deal with the EB Jordan why the different numbers and why is one 800 bucks?

I'm looking for The Dude fullset for sale!
Anyone offering?

One is an exclusive that has the number he wore when he returned from retirement (45) and a warm-up outfit. The regular has his regular number (23) and no warm-up. The ex. is the expensive one at the moment.

Fair enough. I take it the 45 is an asian exclusive then?

 

[karamazov80]

That is correct. I'm not sure either have been solicited in western markets yet.

Yeah the number #45 was when he came back from retirement....and the one being released is having the #45 and the Bulls warmup outfit....in Hong Kong only. #23 will be released everywhere soon after.....I'm a Jordan junkie...lol....i followed his career ever since the game winning shot in NC all the way up to retirement. Some would pass on #45 because #23 is the iconic number....but for me....when he came back yeah i was like #45???? But the fact that he came back....and what he did to the Knicks....LOL....Sorry Knick fans.....

Truth be told Jordan Hated that number, and wanted it changed immediately because
he's very superstitious and thought it was bad luck and hurting his performance.

Remember 45 was his White Sox baseball number. When he failed as a baseball player and came back he wanted to keep the 45 because he said he wasn't the same person anymore, especially after his father died, who always wanted Jordan to play baseball. The 45 was his white sox number and homage to his dad but when he got dogged by Nick Anderson and Penny in Orlando he said "**** This" and went back to 23 then he
was REALLY BACK! So in essence that #45 is Bad Luck Dude!

Now the Dude absolutely loves his Cowichan Sweater! Even though it's not authentic Cowichan made, but Starsky's was!

Yeah, I contacted him several times and I think I annoyed him so much today!
But still waiting his approval!

I'm paying up to $2300 USD for The Dude fullset if anyone's offering!

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Didn't annoy me bud but, as I said, it is currently reserved I'm afraid.

Best of luck finding one.
