 ohai look what I found.
I haven't seen this on ebay in a very long time. I've got it on my ebay to see how much it's going to end up selling for, but holy shit this is one of those once in 10 years sort of chances... Anybody going to try keep up with the bidding war? http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150472056335&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

 Re: ohai look what I found.
i don't like how it says - i'm not responsible for any damage on transit - for an item like this i'd need reassurance that it wasn't going to break on its way to me

 Re: ohai look what I found.
Well the guy only has one, and the cold casts are the most breakable on transit. I guess he just doesn't want somebody getting it, having it break in one small place that is easily gluable, and them coming back saying "I WANT A REFUND... AND TO KEEP IT." Cause I've seen that happen. =/

 Re: ohai look what I found.
surely that's what postal insurance is for though?
if i'm paying for that statue i want it in mint condition - so if it breaks i would want a refund yeah

 Re: ohai look what I found.
Something like this should have postal insurance, I agree. If it breaks, it's worth nothing to the new owner. Look at that $450 Nightmare statue I have. I got it for $63 due to some damage.

D= It was fixable and is a bit rocky these days whenever I try move it, but with the cold casts you gotta take a chance on it. Besides, I'd much rather buy it, arrive broken and fix it, than miss this chance. They rarely pop up as it is. If Cloud's arm is detached or the Masamune is in two pieces no big.. I'm not gonna throw a fit over it and try get a refund, I FUCKING HAVE THIS PIECE MAN. ....y'know, if I had money ofc.

It's kind of...fugly. But awesome in that "oooh ahhh rare" sort of way.

I remember I saw someone sell this statue for around $30 once, on the Swedish equivalent to eBay. I almost regret not going for it. Wanderkind wrote: It's kind of...fugly. But awesome in that "oooh ahhh rare" sort of way. Having collected Kenner/Hasbro's Jurassic Park figures I know all about this.

^$30?! Holy shit.  Wanderkind wrote: It's kind of...fugly. But awesome in that "oooh ahhh rare" sort of way. Kinda what I thought. It'd be great just to say I have this ultra rare piece. Same reason more or less I still kinda want the EK VII figs.

 Re: ohai look what I found.
Yeah, Sephiroth does look a but... fugly. Cloud looks epic but something about Seph's face. And I dunno, he almost has too many bulging muscles..

 Re: ohai look what I found.
anyone going to have a bid on this? i'm at work all of tomorrow - so will be out when the auction ends - it might slip under the radar and go cheaply at this rate

 Re: ohai look what I found.
good luck with it channy - might still go for a load but you never know with eBay - if it was a UK auction i'd definitely be bidding - but with the beasty postage - customs - potential breakage etc. i'm not going to - would love to pick it up one day though

 Re: ohai look what I found.
ended up going for just over $1000 dollars so cheaper than it has done in the past but still a lot to fork out for any item it was won by an ff collector from UK who posts on final fantasy collectables and is also on myfigurecollection (strife212) - kind of nice to know where it's going

 Re: ohai look what I found.
Wow man, kudos to you. It's a kick ass item. As soon as I saw it go over 400, I thought 'feh.. got other priorities atm...' I was watching it within its last hour and found it fairly entertaining actually.. especially the last minute. It had received just 2 bids over the six days.. and in the last two minutes it received 18. xD Very good ninja bidding in its last 5 seconds tho, wish my computer was so fast.
