Thanks for the PM Electron, I ended up buying it.

I must say it is really sad to note that the pound is down 50 cents against the dollar. Which pushed my $35 purchase up by an extra £5.

I'll be buying another figure today too... $70... Gawd... Stupid economic crisis... :sad:

Is this the end of cheap imports?

Probably. It was inevitable though. The only reason that we've had the prices on the dollar that we've had for the past year has been that our economy has been artificially and unsustainably propped up while the US economy crashed. Now that the pound has gone down the tubes as well we're pretty much screwed on that front. It also means that I'm not going to be bringing any more cases of figures in for a while as it's just not viable at the moment.

My Animated figs finished on ebay this morning. Mixed bag of results with Swoop and Sentinel doing pretty darned well. I'll be listing some more bits and pieces later but as always you guys get priority. Here's what I've got available at the moment, just give me a shout if there's anything you want.

Ani Jazz £10,
Uni Galvatron £11,
Uni Acid Storm £11,
Uni Acid Storm £11,
Botcon Thundercracker (loose) make me an offer.

All prices include postage and any fees, knock a pound off if you want more than one fig. I won't be listing Thundercracker just yet because I'm trying to gauge prices on him to get an idea for what sort of start price I should list him with. I'll probably aim to get the rest listed by about six tonight if they're not spoken for by then.

Botcon Thundercracker.
Hmmmmm.

Would love one, but he's gonna be way out my price league.
Especially looking at my current bank balance!!

MP Prime was £34.99 at the Notts TRU a couple of weeks back. They had plenty in then.
I'll prob pop over at some point in the next week and could pick one up and post at cost for ya if you can't find one/want one.

I'd probably hang on to Botcon TC for a bit. I think the Henkei release has knocked the market price down a bit. Wait for it to bounce back up.

Sorted.

They had five in stock, non of 'em were box fresh minty mint, picked the best of the bunch out for ya!
The card parts are pretty much perfect.
Front part of the window is 99% perfect with no scratches, but does have a small (less than a cm) white crease right at the top-middle.
The top of the window has a couple more slight white creases.(Again, less than a cm)

I've taken some photos, just waiting for 'em to upload to photobucket. It's hard to make out the creases on 'em though, but like I say they are small and not that noticeable.
I should be able to get rid of the whiteness using my hair drier trick, which will make 'em even less noticeable.

I'll PM the pics when they are done.

Sounds like you're lucky we don't have half pennies anymore.

Electron's the kind of guy who, when he realises the waiter is waiting for a tip, would whisper in his ear "Never eat yellow snow."
