Ok......I have been On the look out for a Wave 1 flint for my brother. Started looking in Nov of last year....You know for a X-Mas gift. Well it's now July aNd in a couple of days time he will get a gift that's going to catch him off guard for sure.
I should add that there was an X-mas limit of $15.00.............So yes a $15.00 flint has been a little bit trying.........No matter in the lot including shipping it comes out to $11.00 a Figure. So I finally got a cheap buy off of FeeBay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWN:IT&ih=008

i dont want to be a party pooper or anything on your awesome find, to me though all those cards looks pretty beet. The cards look bent, especially on the CC and SS. I hope they arent. That would be so great to get all of those figures for that price and have them be in MINT condition

The figures being Mint are of no concern to my brother. If they were for me then we would have a problem! Although I haven't seen a Flint go for $11.00 in a while. I guess you could argue that I paid $14.00 for flint n snake eyes and $7.41 for CC and StormShadow

Flint was the rare figure from wave 1 and hot from the very start. I sold off two last summer thinking I would ride the Ebay craze and use the money for other stuff. I had no idea these figures would be so hot back then, well a year later and I'm without a Flint. I never found him after I sold my second one off. Another dumb move.....I passed on a Black Timber when I found one at KB last year......I bought the grey one....................
You didn't get a bad deal at all....yeah, you got stuck with a hooded CC, but ALL the rest are rare now. I remember when SE and SS were peg warmers this time last year...LOL Last edited by 82joe; 07-14-2008 at 11:03 AM.. |
