Finally was able to get him! Just got lucky and happened to be up pretty late tonight (it's 1:30 in the morning where I am).

Congrats DarthBrett! It like winning the lotto to score this OAMCC - I know how you're feeling.

Looks like he was up for 2 hours this time.

Weird strategy Hasbro's got going on with this one.

Just happened to check if OAMCC was in stock earlier and he was! Got two of them!

I can be a bit OCD about sets of things... so I had to complete every set.. I mean I never missed a chase or a limited edition or anything. But the flip side of that is.. if I break up a set of something I have.. then it no longer matters to me.. so as soon as I started seeing some of the prices of the older ones I had.. it was pretty easy to just stop collecting and start unloading. I made almost $50K selling off that collection (way more than I invested). None of the new ones will ever catch that type of value since the market is beyond saturated.. but there was a small window these things were inadvertently a gold mine (somewhere around year 3 or 4 they took off and people were trying like mad to backfill). Some of the early ones I sold for over $1K.. it was honestly madness.. lol.

They're ugly.. no real disputing that.. but they covered a lot of ground that other lines weren't covering at the time.. it was an easy way to express fandom at $9 a pop (pun intended).

Luckily in my older age that "must collect them all" mentality is no longer an issue. I just buy what I like and have no weird deep rooted desire to prove my fandoms by owning tons of something.

I also have a very firm.. No Funko Pops! rule now.. although I'll admit I broke it recently when they released the shirtless Jason Kelce from that Chiefs game (Go Birds!). I have less than 10 Funko Pops now.. and they're ones that have special meaning.

Never understood funko pops. But hey good for you for making 50k. And yeah collecting can be an obsession and people need to figure that out for themselves and adjust accordingly.

Good to hear about the OAMCC, for those that got one in another random-ass drop. I've given up and won't be checking their website any further to see whether the one that is still haunting my cart can be processed.

After careful consideration, I've dropped my Rattler funding and will be selling my copy of the Dragonfly when it arrives. My Premium membership is good through December, but I won't need it. I plan on keeping most the Classified figures I already have, but am not interested in continuing to support the brand. I am looking forward to spending my disposable income elsewhere.

Really the Commander dropped early in the morning? Who's scheduling that? I was sleeping... Hopefully it comes back today.

It's nothing new: The older generation did it with Hummel figurines and Franklin Mint crap. I've got albums full of near-worthless stamps that a grandparent thought would help pay for college one day.

And they threw out all the stuff that WOULD become valuable one day... like Mickey Mantle rookie cards and Amazing Spider-Man #1.
