For me it's not a figure. It's a map.

I've been looking for years to get my hands on a copy of the two-sided HeroClix/HorrorClix map which was sent out to retailers. It's got the Armor Wars map on one side and I think a Mortuary on the other side. No one ever has it for trade, and I check several times every week on eBay to no avail.

I keep looking!

Secret invasion skrull yellowjacket! i have 11 non skrull and none of the skrull version! its soooo annoying!

I have found it very difficult to find these figures (and I need them):

1) The four (Zombie) chase LEs from SuperNova (Spiderman, Colonel America, Wolverine and Hulk).

2) The four chase LEs from Origin (Alfred Pennyworth, Lois Lane, Wizard Shazam, Queen Hippolyta).

3) The Hammer of Thor chase LE (Thor, Frog of Thunder).

4) The four Brave and the Bold LEs (Black Hand, Martian Manhunter, Kal-L, Nekron)

5) The Lantern objects

6) Galactus I & II

I don't see it as 'criminal price hiking' either, more like ignorance on the sellers part. I see it all the time on E-Bay. Check for a figure (any figure, it doesn't matter which) and someone will have it listed as $29.99 BIN, scroll down the page, and another seller has it listed for $9.99 BIN Huh? Why in the sam hill would anyone pay the $29.99, when this other guy can't even get rid of it for $9.99?

So, would IC be a 58 figure set (1 of each sculpt including the U's)? Would you drop the "Duplicate" Us? (Wasp, Elektra, Prof X, Juggernaut, Cyclops and Captain America, Wolverine and Spider-Man). Make the Duplicated Us as LE prizes?

Hypertime would be a 50 figures set, with "duplicates" of Joker, Catwoman, Flash, Batman and Superman as Us (I know the Flash is a different Flash)

Would you repaint different costumes on a selection of figures to bring the totals up to 60? Make multiple versions of some of the generic pieces?

I think it would make for an interesting set, if they made them with new dials and didn't just reprint them. Universe showed that sets reprints don't sell that well. I think the new smaller packs are doing a bit better because they are targeting specific TV/movie events

But are people actually paying those prices? I see what I would consider "overpriced" figs listed as Buy It Now, but they seem to always be listed by the same sellers. If people are willing to pay that much, than that's great for the seller. However, if it isn't selling, why list it for so much?

Seeing how hard it is for people to get HoT Cap, I'm tempted to sell mine now.

It's true. I've been selling things on ebay for a few weeks now, and there IS a difference in what is been charged and what is actually been paid for. That's what research is for.

I'd keep the Cap, though. He'll be hard to get for you later down the road should you change your mind.

I have a HoT Captain America wasting away in my trade box right now, sad and alone and friendless. I didn't realize he was hard to get.

He's going for about $20 right now on Evilbay.

Send me a want list?

Shoot, maybe I should have sold the green lantern I just won Monday instead of giving it away (one of the guys I play with all the time there was complaining he hadn't gotten any of the lanterns yet, I've already got the yellow and black, and mostly just want red now, so I gave it to him). Nah.

Unique Prometheus from Legacy.

Between auctions here and e-bay, I got sniped so many times it was ridiculous. If I could "buy" him, at the time, it was at a price well above double what even I valued him at. To make matters worse, TWICE I won auctions for him only to get screwed by sellers. Then I had a trade on here with popinjay that screwed me AGAIN.

Needless to say, when I finally worked out getting him, I pretty much dismissed it until the day he actually arrived in my mailbox.

hmmm

I have a skrull yellowjacket....didn't know he was wanted.

Also I've never had a problem finding OMACs on ebay. Eh.

Most of mine are annoying Uniques. Ironspidey, Prometheus, Jay Garrick (any version) Oracle and so on.

Mainly because I just like filling out teams or villain groups (like batman)


oh and one other thing, the old 3D objects and map pack from the early Clix days- so wish I'd grabbed it

Finding what you want online isn't usually that difficult. Finding it at a price you are willing to pay can be.

and therein lies the rub.....

Can you give me a more detailed description of this item? I mean is it the fairgrounds? Thats the only one I am sure of that was Heroclix/Horror Clix. Perhaps if you can identify it I may be able to help.

More to the point I am very willing to help any others locate what they are seeking to find, if they will reciprocate. Any traders on here can contact me and I will do my best to assist them, if they will do likewise.
