Holy jackpot , Batman......some stuff from the recent CA signing :

7x9 episode st :

1955 Ms America st

'54 Ms America st

Some very rare stuff.......esp the 7x9 TV stills , most of em on ebay are 80s 8x10 re-runs......

I dated a niece of Lee Meriweather while I went to college in the 80's. Very cute redhead. Guess that makes me almost-cool, by proxy.

I figure there's about $750.00 worth of figures I have left to buy.

I think the light just burned out.

I'll spread it out... It's not as if there's a rush to get the whole thing done anytime soon... I'm going to go about it similar to the way you did, grabbing the under $50-60 figures and leaving the high dollar ones for last. I figure Yak Face, Luke ST, R2 Pop Up and EV9D9 will run at least 400 altogether.

 

[Darth Waller]

Those were my last 4 as well. Save the worst for last.

 

[galactiboy]

Those seem to be the last ones for a lot of us Try to put off the most painful purchases for as long as possible.

 

[FLOSI]

That way I'm left with no choice but to spring for the last few, regardless of price. It does get tough to drop that much coin on a 4" piece of plastic though.

I have a $50 eBay GC that was a Christmas gift. It sure could take the pain out of buying one of the higher end figures... Yak Face, anyone?

What's funny is I have 2 of the painful ones already. I think I am down to Barada , A Wing Pilot, EV9D9, Yakface, and Han Carbonite(I only need block)

Lost out on my final auction of the year on a POTF R2. F___!

 

[Laney74]

Just need POTF r2 as well, plus blue snaggletooth. I use to think $100 for one of these was too much, then I got into Hot Toys...

[Darth Waller]

Around $110, so yeah, it was painful.

 

[galactiboy]

Congrats Waller

Better to start out the New Year with a win... so are you abandoning your plan to finish up at Celebration? With only 2 left it would be hard to wait that long

Yeah, I realized recently that it wasn't worth waiting until next August. It would be hard being this close and not finish off the collection. Plus, I'm excited about figuring out a classy way to display these guys.

 

[galactiboy]

You have chosen well

I know eh?

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

Just picked up a EV-9D9 and Anakin Skywalker set off eBay. Since I already have Anakin, does anyone here need one?

Three more to go!

Let me know what you are needing to get for him bro !

Yeah, but $100+ for a figure that retailed for between $1.99 and $2.99 still smarts a bit

A bit he says !

 

[galactiboy]

Kind of funny... but we think a loose Gammorean guard for $5 is a good deal. But in actuality its double the retail cost for a used toy... pretty good appreciation
