where any of you find realxhead figures. it's obviously the best kept secret known to man because I never see any for sale, especially older ones. I think that's pretty much common knowledge, but then somehow people seem to show up with them in their collections.

who are you guys blowing to get these toys?

Yeah man the new releases are pretty easy to come by for the first month after the release date. You just gotta check the usual places.


And the older figures usually pop up between collectors. For the most part their really isnt that many RxH collectors. And most of us who do collect them know who else here does. So when we need to get rid of or are looking for something we sell to each other. No need to list in the BST if we all know who wants what.

Just like SB, all the collectors here know who else collects hardcore and pass back in forth between each other.

The figures I have were obtained from other board members, and werent advertised as being "for sale" per se, trades and buys though.

I have about five right now on the way though...hehe...i'm just happy I finally found a line to collect that suits my tastes completely.

The best way i've found to get anything you want is you literally have to constantly check YJA/Ebay and other resources..I have the luxury of a comp in my shop so its always up and available for checking..
