Let me guess; it's got 4 figures in it?

Stunning collection. I'm sure I'll be more of an observer rather than a participant, but will be fun to have a browse through the catalogue.

I hope there isn't anyone under there. I bet you nearly poked there eye out when you saw those items. :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Mr-shifter]

Not sure on the valuations of the modern stuff though. Looks like there's a complete trilogo run, a complete potf run and a complete revenge proof run there.

Oh, and that Canadian transition fett. :shock:

I like the Applause Statue of the 3 bounty hunters priced at £200. I must be easily pleased. 8)

Maybe you're just a little more realistic than me sitting here working out a strategy to win the lottery/reconstruct the great train robbery/establish which kidney I'm least attached to :lol:

Has Nigo "lost the Collecting bug"?

 

[Hothrebel]

Does anyone want to make a syndicate to try and buy all this

 

[theforceuk]

Someone posted a link to this guys collection about a year ago seem to remember. Some collection and will be interesting to see what price it gets for these items, suprised he's selling it. :shock:

There are a few things I'm interested in, anybody got experience of bidding with Sotheby's? Can you do it online, or do you have to go there (and if so where?)

What are the buyers premiums like? I noticed it says you have to arrange your own shipping.

 

[lejackal]

The option to register to bid is there so I assume you can bid online but I've no experience of Sotheby's.

There is some stuff on FB about this - Jordan (Toyhunter) is involved

From what I can tell, all bidding will be on-line, the buyers premium is 25% and you have to log on and register with them - I think I also read that all payments had to be via credit card

I am interested in some bits - although am not holding my breath

 

[Richard_H]

Are these items in London? I thought these were in the Hong Kong branch?

Sorry for some reason I was thinking of Sotherbys London

Will Palitoy Babe be making a rare appearance and show us her tits?

 

[Hothrebel]

Sale is in New York but I think it is only on line.Shipping is expensive.
I haven't dealt with them personally but know a couple of people who have.

 

[TrisCompany]

I don't like how they've bucketed stuff together. There are a couple of tris that are interesting, but in big lots of items that I don't want to bid on. Not ideal.

Some amazing stuff though. Be interested to see what they go for.
