i was grocery shopping yesterday and found FOUR sigma six figures at albertsons (Temecula, CA). they were $23.99 and they had
- Gung-ho - BBQ - Toxic Zartan - forgot the last one if anyone is interested i might be able to go back for them. i was tempted to get gung ho for myself but i gave up on sigmas and might sell mine off. hit me on PM if you want to grab these. i only charge what i pay + shipping. (my tax is 8.75% yeah CA sucks lol)

just a quick correction, CA sales tax is now 9.75% not 8.75%, not that it would change one's decision to buy a $24 Sigma figure. I guess they figure they couldn't sell them for $17 a year ago so they must have gone up in value as demand has decreased. strange economic rule, but who knows.

yeah i thought the price was a bit steep myself, considering they dont have the gear and footlockers the first waves had.
that price is the only thing that kept me from nabbing gung ho. cant dip into my movie joe funds... lol (i just want a few! dont kill me!) just thought if somebody wanted these bad enough (are they hard to find nowadays?), i would post and grab them if they wanted. offer still stands. gotta love CA's financial situation...

The price is high but I have bought S6 figures from Albertson's before specifically Iron Grenadiers, I figured if I got them from ebay I would end up paying between $10 and $15 + shipping raising the price up to 17+ typically closer to $20 after all is said and done. At that point the prices aren't to that bad... plus I am in Oregon and we don't have sales tax.
