Classic bubble behaviour, actual supply and demand begin to have no effect on margin and the bubble begins to self generate. It keeps going until either market confidence takes a hit and things begin to crash or there is a lack of new buyers to the market and people begin to realize its a bubble.

I'm convinced they are natural degradation of the original colours combined with variances in the original paint mixtures for the C3POs, not least my childhood C-3PO was gold when brought back in the day, it now displays a distinctly silver colour. For the DSD and R2, clear lacquers/top coats...

I was going to this but the M3 being closed and the A3 being solid put an end to that.

Magnum Force. Don't touch those, don't you ever touch my balls without asking.

Yep the Home & Wear ones had a good stock, I remember my local one had an entire row of ROTJ figures, a serious amount of stock. It wasn't just the Tesco's that had this approach either the 'big' department stores of Debenhams, Army and Navy and Alders all held a big selection. Even the...

Scalextric is an odd one though as the standard cars come with parts that perish and if you race them items that break. So a lot of items are reproduced not as repro but as replacements, people will still pay a premium for original parts. GI Joe has quite a lax attitude to repro parts as...

I can transfer video to DVD/digital if you are happy to send it to me.

Now there's a name I've not heard in a long time. I wonder what happened to him? I seem to recall that he had a three pack on his stall on the same show for £1000, which seemed so much back then.

I am dabbling with G1 Transformers, I've always had a soft spot for them. It would appear that they are cheaper than Star Wars now despite having a reputation for being pricey, you have to do homework to spot the fakes and reissues though as not everyone is honest about them. My only criticism...

I was in a small town in Arizona having lunch a few years ago, when one of the regulars started chatting to me, nice guy but the entire time I was aware he had a handgun on a holster on his belt. Its really weird talking to a member of the public when they are openly carrying a handgun. He...

I was tempted to put 'Good Price ' under that one.

The POTF ones won't appear. Plus I think the TIE FIghter pilot is missing as well.

Top one is the Rebo Band flute and the bottom one is a GI JOe Ambush figure pistol.

Sounds like Billyboy Rodgers, he scammed a lot of collectors with 'prototype' pieces. Turns out they were all paint stripped production figures. There's a massive thread on Rebelscum about the whole sorry affair.

Noticed that price bashing is now a bannable offence. What a joke, I can't be bothered with that lot any more, let the morons run wild with the other morons.

I doubt it was stolen to sell on the open market, more likely to be stolen to order and as such probably not going to be seen again in general collecting circles.

He has let slip to several people that he has quite a few Trilogos stored/hoarded. There is also no evidence that he has any cardback and bubbles to make Trilogo MOCs either, unlike the Palitoy examples. So for the time being the Trilogos are in the clear, however few people want to put...

The lack of knowledge is staggering, is it gross ignorance or are they genuinely that stupid?

Its gone up £5 since you posted, they are now £55 and not hanging about.

Those aren't costumes from Doctor Who they are RAF High Altitude Pressure suits and they are almost unmodified. They are also used in First Men on the Moon (1964) as spacesuits as well. So all the filmmakers just borrowed real life props.
