i have a question i need help with

[Fire_Fly]

i was offered unreleased
25th scrap iron
25th red star
artic threat duke no jaket
for 200.00 delivered is that a good deal and would u buy it

[Lifeline_MD]

i don't think anyone's ever posted an unreleased 25th scrapiron on card (or at least I haven't seen it if they have). not certain on red Star.

Are they careded or loose? That makes a definite difference.

Loose, I'd be quite hesitant because you could be getting scammed with the wide-release ones.

If they're carded, then I'd say that's a more-or-less fair price.

[Fire_Fly]

no they are not carded and they are the unreleased versions

What are they worth to you? The duke shouldnt be much as he was all over ebay. $100 is not worth it to me for scrap iron or red star, but I know collectors who would have to have it.

[CrimsonGuard101]

$80-$85 max for the 3...that should be sufficient...

The artic threat duke is readily availbe all over ebay from 14.99, the other 2 figures you could argue would be worth 20-30$ each so sub $80. I paid for each red star and scrap iron back when ws-Toys had em for $19.99 each...scrap iron is ok...but red star is the best of the group...

If you want to pull the trigger, do it. You don't need approval if you want something. You can always offer him a lower price for all three. The worst you end up with his the same if he says "no."

I wouldn't do it. We have been seeing a couple of Scrap Iron and Red Star auctions floating around. Looks like a new bag was dropped off at the docks. (so to speak)
Are they painted and complete? They might be worth it then. Also you never know if they are intended for release this Joe Con maybe as a 2 pack?

Arctic Duke without Jacket seems to be worth 14.99 tops. So your getting 2 figures for $185 if it was crazier figures I would jump for it but Scrap Iron has multiple releases and Red Star is essentially a repaint from a pretty common comic pack.

So really I would spend 200 on convention items or something like that.

last scrap iron sold for $162.50

I would pass. The price is too high.

The red star though has proper non slit wrists...he has the fixed duke arms...which for me was a huge imprvement lol..I hate the slit wrists..

[ZEITGEIST]

dont do it.

[Fire_Fly]

i dont feel its a bad deal

[CrimsonGuard101]

its not it just too much, get him to come down and throw in free shipping

[Fire_Fly]

shipping is free

[CrimsonGuard101]

then he needs to cut some of that proft margin.

I have both unreleased Red Star & Scrap Iron. I will not tell you what I paid for them new, as it was very little on Ebay, but now I think they would be worth that price asked with their scarcity. That Arctic Duke is not worth more than $15 at this point though.
Here is my review of Red Star & Scrap Iron.
