 Re: New Gargamel Figs!
The dude for sure, but I think they are together. Angel Abby could enlighten us. I know that dude works for her. He was so beyond pathetic taking pictures and sending them and then calling all prior to picking.

 Re: New Gargamel Figs!
Why am I not even surprised?  And after that passionate anti-flip post on the Gargamel Blog, too. I swear, the longer I collect, the more I believe we need to make a Do Not Sell/Buy roster of these assholes.

 Re: New Gargamel Figs!

 Re: New Gargamel Figs!
Looks like components were sold (immediately sold out) in a Gacha machine outside the store.

I'm looking forward to the trade threads for these guys. Should be fun to try to build them.

 Re: New Gargamel Figs!
Muling for a personal collection is one thing, muling for someone to resell is another. You're right, it could be innocent muling, but who knows. We'll have to wait and see if one of these ends up on the BST or elsewhere.
ANYWAY.
Looks like micros and the Moai Bot parts were available at Super Festival too, at Mitari's booth.

This wouldn't be the first time they walked away with half the items from a Thrashout show. There was a photo a few years back that was showing off the dozen one off Miboras they had scored from a single event. Not easy to swallow when you have been to one of these shows knowing that it is one custom per person.

Not easy to swallow when you have been to one of these shows knowing that it is one custom per person. TRUE STORY: Last year same dude was in line and bought a Camo Miborah. That Camo Miborah was offered to a board member through Angel Abby. Last year, Lucky Bags, This year Angel Abby and M-world contact board members via e-mail or whatever and offer them pieces for crazy mark ups. I think that is shitty. If you know that dude and said hey, can you go to x event for me and get me x and he helps you out.....that is an awesome dude. I don't think the above makes him or her really for that matter awesome.

Multiple Miborahs, Zags, and Deathras from that show...

 Re: New Gargamel Figs!
^^ That all ended up on YJA at the same time because I specifically recall those auctions.
Two different points though are being made. 1) Helping someone out and 2) angel abby shady business.

 Re: New Gargamel Figs!
I wanted to post that after I got their email, but wasn't sure if regurgitating M-Worlds prices was cool. Nuts, plus you still need to cover shipping and PayPal fees?!

 Re: New Gargamel Figs!
The prices are just way off the mark coming from a seasoned reseller. Or am i the one that is ignorant of the prices? I cannot believe any will sell at these levels.

 Re: New Gargamel Figs!
As consignment I'm willing to bet the seller is open to offers. So go big and let people talk you down.
It's just sad to see this many 1 offs end up here. Espscally 3 of those gorgeous cyborgs I would have loved a shot at.
