Not to be a jackass but check any Walmart. you might be able to knock off most of your list. A lot of the Phantom Menace figures have famously pegwarmed because Hasbro over produced anticipating the movie would bring in new fans. It's a sore spot for SW collectors; many brick and mortar purists have had to resort to buying online. Many of the Walmarts I've hit only have TPM. They never got the later waves, or were cleaned out immediately.

I've found that last wave of Avengers there too. Also check the movie section of any Target. When the Blu Ray hit, they put out new figures.

I'm not asking for those figures, I'm just telling folks "Hey, I spotted these figures. If you are looking for them, pm me and I'll pm you where I found them so you can get them and not lose out to someone else." That's all. Just trying to be helpful since I know folks were asking for those figures a few weeks ago.

watching Toy Hunter, .....something about this show annoys me. I just watched him go through a box of Transformers and not know what BumbleJumper was. really? And you're an expert. Same episode, he buys Takara GI Joes from 'China' for like $30 MOC. Some expert.

He sure knows a hell of a lot about Care Bears, though.

I enjoy it just for what he finds. It's always interesting to see what other people collect. It's a reality show, which can be more scripted than Saturday Night Live. I take no stock in the price he pays for anything.

Sometimes I think he's just playing dumb with his customers so he can get the items at a cheap price. Why tell someone they have a rare and valuable vintage toy when you can just tell them you'll pay an amount for it that would seem good to the seller when in fact he's getting it dirt cheap. There have been a few items that he's bought which I think he overpaid for. Then again, for all we know the prices themselves may be scripted.

While I think the show can be beneficial in showing uninformed folks what they really have lying around and hopefully it will get more pieces out into the market, I fear it may also backfire and suddenly make folks think the toys they have are worth more than they really are. Kind of like how all those lone female character figures from various 90's toy lines are pretty much worthless. Folks were going nuts, grabbing them up, thinking they would be worth something some day, only to have them now sit in their $1 bins at collectible shows, collecting dust.

Perhaps. But in that episode, as soon as he saw Bumper, I said "oh $150" until I saw the condition. Should have been about $75. He didn't even know what it was.....lol

I don't even deal in toys and I knew more about the shit he was finding.

I think the only thing I've seen so far that I didn't know much about was the Lord of the Rings figures.
