Quite a lot if you just go and search for sold/complete listings. Just doing a search for sold "gi joe vintage" gives over 59,000 completed listings.

I mean the event was called Collector Con! They know who they're serving here. If it happens, I say we lynch em.

I've always heard not to eat from dented cans as they can cause botulism.

This video shows the issues that customers had when buying the retro Ghostbusters from Walmart. I will most likely open my Joes since I have none and want to experience that childhood feeling again, but I'll open them as I did my Amiibos so that they can be repackaged back on the card easily. I don't want them bent all up or damaged because I'm keeping the packaging.

On that note, has anyone found a good way of removing the blister without leaving marks on the card? I know you can superheat the card, but then it might scorch or set fire. The only ways I know are to cut the plastic close to the edge--leaving some on the card--or rip it off, leaving white marks all around. I'm sure there's another way. Time for the customs guys to chime in!

With my Star Wars Vintage Collection figures, I take a knife and slice open the top of the bubble, slide the figure out and leave the bubble attached. That way, if certain figures spike in value and I decide to resell, I can sell the figure as "display or play", because the figure can be returned to the bubble and it's not that noticeable that the top of the bubble is open.

You can use something like goo gone or goof off and soak the cards from the reverse side. Google "removing hot wheels bubbles" and the hot wheels guys have the whole process figured out.

So making sure I follow, you make a square at the top of the blister with the knife and remove the plastic there leaving a full gap. Is that right? Does the figure just slide right out from there?

Should've known the hot wheels fellas would have it down. Thanks!

I wonder if they didn’t use the Ultimate Storm Shadow for this line because he was technically part of the Retaliation line? Is there some legality with using anything associated with the film for any other line? It really is the perfect classic ARAH Stormy and a shame it’s not him in that bubble. Anyone have any insight into this legal stuffs?
