All things aside - this is a great group shot of these Zags! - i dont care if you have 2 of something or 20 of something - these look great! cant wait to see if you have em painted or fill em with BB's....hell - sink one into your fishtank!

( go get a fish tank if you need to , just to freak out the fish! )

Hmm had a few things to say but I thought I'd just button my lip.
anyway
heres an edited version :mrgreen:

These weren't limited though, made to order. They were also produced for customizing so I'm sure these aren't meant to be trade bait but raw canvases.


If anyone knows anything of me on this board they would figure that I didnt buy these to flip or use as tradebait. Im a head. I knew they were a preorder deal. So I splurged. Im not even that zealous (or organised) to get my custom ready for the wicked offer of an official run. I'll just enjoy them for what they are, clears (sorry if that offends some) and maybe when the whim takes me I'll murder a custom :mrgreen:

And in fairness to the "discussion" that has been raised. Id like to add that I too agree that dudes too often buy shit then sell it at a way too hi price. To discuss it with any more sincerity we would have to enter into a way too complicated (and some would say circuitous) discussion about human nature, capitalism, supply, demand, greed etc.

Bert, I don't think what you're saying applies to this toy. If PK or Lash wanted 5 more they coulda ordered 5 more. When things are made to order it reduces the horde/bait mentality because everyone is able to buy as many as they'd like, essentially killing the immediate secondary market that we see with RxH at the moment. If RxH was made to order minis wouldn't be selling for 5x retail price the day they release. Ya dig?

All of these make for a fantastic visual impact. I love this, and from what little of your dwelling I can make out, appropriately fitting in it's simplicity. Well done Germs!

Well...I was hoping for a more open discussion which GERMS started to point out about people buying figures and then selling it at higher prices, but people don't seem to want to.
Personally, I kinda like seeing collectors with multiples of items. It makes for a small army. I have no problems with people buying up 2+ figures no matter how rare. Oh well....we move on with the usual threads and posts about how one figure is going for such a high price....*yawn*

Gatch, maybe you could start a new thread about this relevant subject.

Personally I really like NT's idea of making to fill orders. A well put argument. Wouldnt the creator make more aswell? Though there are other factors involved.
