    That is really cool and all, and would make a great addition to a museum or store display (be nice if it was in better shape though) but heck, that is a lot of cash for a moldy and beat-up cardboard box with limited art. Ah well, to each their own.

    Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

    I wish I would have seen that Ultra Leo sparker in the box. I don;t have that one in a box. I have all the others!

    I tried really hard to win that red Capsule Robo. I was second bidder. I thought I had it, but, nope. That's the only other one I have seen other than the red one (that warren called me off an auction for!).

    The megalon went higher than any I have seen to this date. Things are getting interesting out there.

    Dang Brian, sorry didn't have much luck lately with those. I would have definitely given you the heads up had I known. I know you have only very specific gaps in your mighty collection, but you should post a wish list for us just the same - ya never know. Anyways, I will keep note of the boxed Leo sparker at least (I know it is an unlikely one, but just in case...).

    Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

    So this is the preferred method of posting these auctions now?

    Coming to a Mandarake auction near you soon:

    Nice price though considering condition and rarity. This Giant Bakura is my fave original Marusan sculpt along with Ragon. Wish someone would remake them.

    Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

    Sorry if I started a bad trend, I was just trying to find an easy way of 'saving' the auction since the pics disappear so fast sometimes on YJA (some sellers take them down right after the auction is over, which I hate), and then the links die out.

    Very nice SAN original. The paint is quite a lot brighter and less rubbed than other ones I have seen come up.

    Actually, yes. In fact, this is mandated over at TBDX. By posting a link, even if the auction's over, you're drawing unwarranted attention to the seller...who may *still have live auctions running* that your fellow boardies may be planning to bid on.

    Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

    Hey you don't have to call me out like some n00b here man. If you don't like dead links posted just pm me. I just posted that way for shits and giggles since you and Steve did, and my question was pretty rhetorical. I've always been a champion here of never posting live links, or even info on lotteries, but now we're kicking it up a notch to what if they click on seller info and find more auctions? Seems a bit paranoid. Ok noted...

    Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

    Oh shit! Hahaha...I'm sorry man--I'm laughing my ass off over here right now!

    Shit, my bad: that totally wasn't meant in any way for you. I was just getting in from work and I was swyping that post from my Android. Ya tend to be curt when walking and trying not to take a digger in the middle of a muddy, Spring evening rainstorm! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

    I know I shouldn't be laughing...but I'm just picturing you steaming over there, brotha! Ah, fucking good times...

    Nah, anyway...I haven't ever had anything like that happen to me--at least, not that I've noticed. Years ago, though, there were a string of really high-profile chogokin (robots) and maybe zenmai auctions ending roughly around the same time. Someone posted a link publicly to an ended auction from this guy who, I guess, was liquidating a super-collection over the course of a week or two. Of course, that blew up the spot for any eagle-eyed searchers who'd found the seller's auctions already. There was a lot of public complaining and the mods eventually instituted the rule for the board. Made sense to me...though I didn't have a horse in that particular race. I didn't really need anything he was offering, so I didn't really pay attention to their realized prices...

    Anyway, you get the idea.

    Sorry again you got heated. And for laughing about it. ;)

    I wasn't heated Sanjeev-o, was just confused as to if I made a new board faux pas I didn't know about. I get it though and it does make sense now that I think about it. Why promote it in a sense...

    I totally agree about posting screen shots over . Auctions ive had my eye on have showed up in the "hot list" at the top of the page a few times now.

    Really wanted this manji-kamataitach mini but just couldnt do it.

    I was watching that one Jonathan. I couldn't place where he was from and assumed he was some bootleg Ninja Arashi character. Never saw it before.

    Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

    yeah, really awesome. id love to see the popy arashi minis with the barom 1 minis together, i feel they have some similar color palettes and of course weirdness factor going for the group

    Yeah it is unfortunate you really don't get to see too many of the villain minis that often. I agree with you Michael, they definitely have an amazing sculpting 'crudeness' similar with the Barom-1 guys. Here is a random pic of another one.

    Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

    Yup hes from ninja arashi episode 4. These mid size villains are tough to find, there are also a couple different color variants I think.

    Here he is in the show

    Another cool Tiger Mask auction that ended recently. This one for a set of the mid-size figures complete in the box. I just hope that this doesn't also end up for sale again by a certain ebay seller. This would be such a fun one to have gotten as a kid.

    Very cool stuff. Love that Ogon Bat. The KR finger puppets are really cool too, but yeah, it is always funny [sad] how when you are watching an auction you are interested in and kind of hopeful about, and then the bidding just blows you out of the water. :|

    Re: strange or rare yahoo auctions post here (after theyre o

    Yeah I saw that on the amazing toy site as well. I always thought that yellow lion was a bootleg Lion Maru and maybe this was a bootleg villain but I think they might have been characters on the show.

    yeah, the yellow lion is legitimate, and i think it was a separate show entirely.

    i always imagined it as a kamen rider type thing, different versions and different shows. but who knows.

    someone needs to drop some knowledge on us
