    Oh, this is rich...comedic gold. Thanks for the laughs fellas :lol: . I understand the frustration of all parties, but these conversations become totally inane rather quickly, summated by akum6n's quote.

    So 9 pieces for flippers to sell now.

    Glad I know someone to help out.
    What a joke!

    You realize sometimes that it is 2015 and you've been at this hobby long enough not to give two shits about the flipper discussion, because my mental well being is worth more that the headache.

    The toys look great. I'm sure if I had thousands to spare I would buy me a few of them. Or pay someone to be in line for me. Not a Koons though, fuck that guy.

    I agree with this. There's no stopping it. It's an inevitable part of commerce. Personally, I don't let it bother me. If someone has access and can turn a profit on something, and someone is willing to pay that premium, so be it. So long as a producer makes his or her products available to consumers, this is going to happen. Your best and only real course of action is to not buy from the flipper. That's it. That is your only recourse. Anything else is you spinning your wheels.

    Just saw that the Gargamel mini show that Angel Abby put on ended. Are one off figures really selling for 2-3 thousand dollars or did I see the price tags wrong?

    The Cyborg Zags were around $350 USD (assuming that the prices shown in the photos are $HK)

    thanks for the clarification. i'm working on collective database type thing of toys categorized by their animal kingdom heritage... i knew wheelbarrow was a wolf, just was never 100% sure what pinwheel actually was, given the added cartoon vibe to his sculpting. however, bringing up the fact that wheelbarrow is a wolf makes sense that gargamel probably wouldn't have 2 wolves in the fight figure lineup.

    Agreed. It says they are re-releasing the first two with matte finishes.
    The only thing I wish is that they were bigger.

    Although they have a lot of model variants to work with for the Scopedog, I hope G gets to the other models eventually, like the Standing Tortoise or Fatty.

    It is great to see another company pick up the vinyls for Votoms, since Sakamoto Showten seems to be gone. Hoping to build a Popy-style Votoms army with G!

    can't wait to get one in-hand...the details around the eyes and mouth look great. mouth reminds me of a zag mouth.
