      …and the secondary market has already begun. Fast and inevitable.

        Do you think he'd be offended if I made him a best offer of $30, considering that's what the pledge amount was to get the Sucklord?

          Well, I submitted an offer for $35 along with this message: Hey, I missed out on these on Kickstarter. If you take my offer, you can make a cool $5 profit. That's a pretty nice Subway footlong. Let me know if you're interested.

          We'll see if he accepts it. Fingers crossed!

                You're right. I want him to have a sweet profit margin, so I'll resubmit with an offer of around $40 if he rejects it. Still waiting!

                  ^The figure is worth it. Hoping to see some accessories someday.

                    Oh, I agree it's totally worth it. I already got mine in the mail last week and it's on a shelf in my office. Worth a lot more than the $30 Kickstarter money I threw in there. But, $250 for something you paid $30 for? An 800+% markup is a little steep IMHO. I'm just doing my best to be a harmless jackwagon to him.

                      Didn't mean the $250 tag but the offer you sent. Good luck and hope you get it. I saw one the other day going for $30 starting bid.

                        Oh, I totally don't need it. I've already got one. Something about people trying to make a massive profit on someone else's work rubs me the wrong way. I mean, the seller literally did nothing but send $30 to David a while back and then waited for it to be delivered.

                        It just reminds me of the days of yore when people would pay Charlee Flatt $250-$300 for a figure and then throw it right up on eBay a month later for $800-$1000. I mean, in theory there's nothing "wrong" with doing it. But, it just doesn't feel "right" to me. But, that's just me up on my moral high horse and being naive enough to think you should be buying the toys you like because you want them and not because you want to profit off of them. Your mileage may vary.

                          Did anyone who order it as an "add-on" to the kick starter get there's? I wrote Dave a couple of times but never got a response.

No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."

                                Shipments have been stopped temporarily while Dave makes modifications to the clamshells we're using for the packages. A hole is being made in the top of the blister so that the gun antenna can fit through, allowing the figure to be placed inside.

                                Once I start filling orders again I'll post instructions on how to get a new clamshell for those who have already received their figure.
