No Ski, I meant figures we have an ACTUAL chance at buying from them!

However on your list I have about 3 (or more if you count the Marines) I would buy as well...even at full retail price, if I could find them!

I'm sure everyone would buy them at retail price

 

[FLOSI]

Lando
Big Chap
Duke
Storm Shadow
Leonidas
Aldo Raine
Bespin Luke ($40ish)
Harvey Dent ($70ish)

They had Bespin Luke as low as $20 around December of last year... I had to pick him up.

 

[FlyAndFight]

Lando
Stormtroopers
Clone Troopers
Big Chap Alien

 

[JacktheRipper]

Leon RPD
Batman OC
Ani-Scar AVP Asia
Iron Man Mark I
USMC Hot Toys

They did have Mark I at one point.

 

[Nitro]

Yeah...I'm still kicking myself for not getting it at the sale price of $121. At the time, I had a choice of either the HT Hellboy or the HT Mark I. It was a lose-lose situation. If I got the HT Mark I, I would've regretted passing on the HT Hellboy for $124...

I picked up a Mark I for $120ish. I didn't realize the demand has increase since then. Totally shocked at what its going for on evilbay. I haven't even displayed mine yet.

Really? Well I'll make you a deal and pay you a little bit of the inflated prices. Say....$160 shipped. Sound good?!?!

Congrats on getting one, that's one he** of a price for that figure. I might end up running a trade for him, Wolverine, or Leonidas (mix and match or one plus cash) for the SDCC Guardian Predator. Just decided with all the great stuff shown recently I'm not going to go back and collect the older Preds. Glad I never officially got started , whew that would have been some cash!

 

[kaidoy021]

ha ha..no deal Chigger58. This was in March too.

Yea, you can't collect every predator. that would be insane. I got Predator 1 Ex, Lost Pred and the Guardian. I'm not planning on buying older ones, but upcoming releases I might.

 

[BlueLeader]

Well I see they finally changed the pic for the T-800. I emailed the webmaster to get their attention and told them they had the old SSC pic up and needed to change it...somebody actually listened .

They had both Mark I & III in stock at about the time this thread got started and both were starting to fetch some pretty inflated prices. Many were skeptical about gohasting because they had them in stock and at or below retail, when most retailers were out and ebay was the best place to get them.

Okay fine, I didn't want to go this high but I'll give you $170, shipped mind you, and let me just say I think you are taking me to the cleaners but I'll do it.

I've only been collecting 1/6 since Dec so my collection is still kind of taking shape. I'm kind of letting it go wherever it wants to this time though. Then a Pred like the Guardian comes along and it starts to make me think it would be cool to have them all. However, then HT's shows a ton of new cool sh** coming out and I come back to earth!

Okay, final offer, $175 and I'll throw in my Youngblood comic collection...all 3 issues.

BBTS had him for $35 and I missed him there too. I'm sure I can find him on here in the $40 range.

Ohh..youngblood. I'm still trying to recover my losses from all them Image and Valiant Comics in the early 90's.

 

[sladesuperagent]

Wait, you mean my Wildstar number 1 isn't worth anything?

 

[Chigger58]

Ohh..youngblood. I'm still trying to recover my losses from all them Image and Valiant Comics in the early 90's.

I have some Badrock issues too, if you want those!?!?

Just about 2 weeks ago I got rid of my final box of comics....ah, feels good! What a relief to not have those or my Spawn figures in my house anymore...oh btw, got rid of all of those as well.

BRING ON THE HOT TOY'S!

 

[FLOSI]

BBTS had him for $35 and I missed him there too. I'm sure I can find him on here in the $40 range.

Oh, I'm sure. I ended up swapping him onto a pro body and it turned out pretty nice. You don't get that boxy shoulder look like he has with a buck. Anyway, if I ever get to it I'd really like to weather and battle damage him. Mando did one and it turned out great.

And on a side note, it's really cool to be able to pick up a figure for under $50 every now and then. Between SS's Joe line and HT figs in general it seems like everything is 120-160 now.

Valiant.... Valiant was XO Manowar, Magnus, Solar and Turok right? Good lord.... I still have a bunch of that crap stored away in boxes somewhere.

When I hit comic shops now I buy only trades or OLD back issues, silver age stuff. Wish I did it that way 20 years ago.

Agreed! Since I've found some stuff at gohastings I've changed the way I'm collecting a little bit. That's where my post a few pages back about figures I'm looking to purchase during one of their sales came in.

When I started collecting I just preordered anything I had interest in like a rabid dog. Now I'm picking up the must haves and passing the rest down to "go" for a chance at a lucky deal down the line.

Just think about all that will be out if/ when HT's and Sideshow starts producing merchandise from next summers films....

Yeah that was Valiant....great stuff there.

Now that my comics are all gone (sold over 2500 issues in the last 3 months) I'm doing pretty much the same thing as you Flosi...just TPB's moving forward. Even at that, I'm being pretty picky.

I remember Valiant! Funny that its in this thread but do you remember Bloodshot and more importantly Ninjak! His first appearance was in a Bloodshot comic and it was on the rise in price at the time. I think it was going for around $15 a book or more. A friend of mine told me about it because I could give two sh**s about it but he loved them for some reason. Well he and I drove to the next town over to the local Hastings because we knew they clearance old issues. We picked up I think ten or so copies of the first and second appearance for something like 50 cents each. I sold mine to our local comic shop for something like $60. Turned a good profit off old Hastings. And here I am in a completely new hobby milking them for more. Got to love the Hastings.
