Congrats! A really tough piece and in what looked to be schmick condition. I was watching it from day one, I knew I should have asked the seller for a BIN dagnamit. When she ended it I gave her a hard time, which is very unlike me, I asked if it was going to be relisted, her response "No" lol, told her I was gunna bid well over a $100 on it etc, "wah wah" etc, she didn't reply.
So well done Tim, I tip my hat to you sir, snaffling a prize from right under my very nose here in Oz, well played Good to see it go to a great home.

Funny how that one worked out. I contacted her and only asked if it had all the pieces and for a picture of the back of it. She got back with me and answered my questions but also asked me if I worked for Marvel. Why I have no idea, anyway she went on to tell me she used to work for for a guy who worked for Marvel doing some sort of online announcements. Maybe on Twitter or some other site. I asked for a shipping quote and when she got back to me she asked what I'd give for it. I told her and she agreed. I kind of thought I was being taken because she came back and asked for more money saying the shipping quote was wrong and it would be more but I still agreed. Got it in yesterday and felt bad because she was honest and the shipping did turn out to be much higher than she first said.
I'm still thrilled to have it and do hope there are no hard feelings from you or anyone else that was looking at it. I didn't actively pursue a BIN but kind of lucked into it. Usually it's the other way around for me as I'm the one waiting to throw in a bid and it gets taken from underneath me.Comment

picked up some fun, old paper items:
1951 Flash Gordon Christmas Card
and the inside
DC Comics Bread Stickers
and the rest.
I have some duplicates of the stickers, that I'll be offering up in the near future. If you collect, hit me up with ones you're looking for, and I'll let you know if I have 'em!Looking for Green Arrow accessories, Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver, and Japanese Popy Megos (Battle Cossack and France, Battle of the Planets, Kamen Rider, Ultraman) and World Heroes figuresComment

Anyone that's been around here for a while knows you are a gentleman, couldn't have gone to a better bloke.

It's all good Will and you didn't say anything wrong at all. Maybe it was hearing that you wanted it as bad as I did that made me feel a little guilty that you didn't get a shot at it. If I ever decide to move it I know exactly who to go to
Here's one pile of stuff I've picked up lately.

Y'know, I love that people collect things like the rack toy guns, and stuff. But they're only ever any good MOC. Because rarely the toy itself has anything to do with the character at all!
I just couldn't bring myself to collect stuff like that, My collecting has to be character-related, but I'm glad there are people out there who are passionate about that kind of stuff!, and I always love seeing collections of it together.
I'd do the Halloween costumes, because they just bring back a lot of memories, but the pistol/badge and dart gun sets are just so left-field that it tickles me they exist, but I'd never need to add something like that to my personal collection.
though I did buy a big plastic Captain America Shield, because I was too cheap to buy the metal one.Looking for Green Arrow accessories, Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver, and Japanese Popy Megos (Battle Cossack and France, Battle of the Planets, Kamen Rider, Ultraman) and World Heroes figuresComment

I've got a lot of stuff in lately but it's all in a pile on the floor. I'm hoping to re-do my toyroom this summer so I can display it properly and take some pics until then here's a piece that I got in yesterday. Kind of a small grail of mine and been trying to pick one up for a couple of years now. Just in from Australia it's the 1977 Palitoy Marvel Superhero Game. Not much of a game but I love the artwork!
