Holy cow, these are up to $40-$50 on ebay.
It's the only variant I own, do people really care that much about this one??
I can see the premiums for Yellow Stalker or Black timber, because they're radical differences, but jeez. |

I wish variants went away...far, far away. | |

If Shipwreck's Shark tattoo were an accident, I'm really surprised. I thought this was going to be an ongoing theme with the 25th line but I haven't heard of anything major since Wave 3.
(I'm sorry but I can't count whether or not they painted Gung-ho's cap correctly)

| | This movie's gonna SUCK.. Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: Springfield Posts: 2,439 | I think Hasbro understands the idea behind what they're doing. What's the quickest way to ensure future purchases of variants? Introduce a short-run of variants and make sure they're significantly small enough to creat a super-high demand.
Yellow Stalker. Black Timber SE; Shark-tat Shippy.
flash70, we have differences of opinion on a few things, and this is one of them. I hope variants and short runs like this are here to stay. If so-called "artificial scarcity" creates a demand that otherwise wasn't there... then awesome. More interest in the line! | |
