And if i looked i can probably find a seller on here or ebay and get a set for cheaper and wouldnt have to go there at all. And from making deals with acme they think a carded 85 SE is only worth $100. Please.
Give it time these will be warming the pegs soon enough just like every other thing else.
Making deals with Acme is a fine art. You gotta speak to Terry or Mark. They set the prices to make some profit, sometimes alot of profit. I didnt notice a carded SE there but if it was $100, they mightve paid $50 for it or $75 in trade, depending on how much was in the lot.
Talk to Todd. He told me there's 10,000 Joes they havent even put out yet. If you want a TF Duke real bad, or a BAT or a Croc Master...$9.99 isnt a bad price. I personally bought none. I dont like gimmick Joes. If I see a TF Duke at Walmart, I might get it but from what I saw there.....nawww. Even the dozen BATs for $9.99 each didnt temp me. I even turned away from a Snow Viper at Target yesterday...just...no didnt want.
I will say one thing about Acme. They bought a Bandai Godzilla lot of vinyls from 1991-2000ish. $20 each. They had some worth $100+ each. I bought the one I wanted and told them to mark them up. They had the 3'' tall Godzilla for $150. Its easily $1500. Needless to say, all the good stuff is gone. They marked them up from $20 to $75-$100 and thats eBay price. I like Acme. Ive never felt ripped off shopping there.
