Clay Moore DRACO Dragonheart prepaint statue for $$$!

[Skulpturen]

Wow, this is my favourite Shiflett Bros statue and it went for good $$$$!

DRACO (http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6553087101)

AWESOME STATUE! :buttrock:

I wanted to bid on this one, but price went above my max. :banghead:

[Ghost]

I love this piece too. Wish I knew about it back then when this came out.

[Skulpturen]

Yes, I didn't know about it too back then...
However I finally got one not too long ago (big Fanx to a Clubhouse forum member!). And it is complete with box too... :D
This really is one of the most spectacular pieces in my collection!

[Skulpturen]

Anyone know how much retail price was?

It is huge... so I guess $ 250-300 ???

[Ghost]

Prolly $300. I hear they're hard to come by with the spikes intact, I wouldn't care as long as I got one!

[Skulpturen]

True, one spike is missing on mine too. A very small one, so barely noticable.
Still very happy :)

[RickDTM]

Damn, I've been looking for this piece for a loooong time. It's freakin' incredible!

Congrats Laszlo!! Great score!!

[leks]

Lol congrats Laszlo I have also been on the lookout for years and I was watching that last auction but it went to high.

The problem is I have been looking regularly for years than about February I took it easy with the looking. End of March I tracked back an auction that wouldve been my chance of a lifetime and it had ended already.

If I remember correctly it was for a complete mint one and the seller was from the Netherlands :banghead: :banghead: , it went for 180 euro oh my god I wanted to slid my throat and poke out my eyes, my gf luckily intervened.

I was in shock for a month, but now I am back on the lookout more than ever aaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh beautiful precious omg incredible, as you see I like mucho ;)

[Skulpturen]

Thanks Rick, Leks! :)

Only 180 EUR??? Daaaamn... good you have a GF ! :laugh:

[leks]

I also remember someone posted an auction for draco that had damage not too long ago, I think one of the spikes had broken off and the startbid was 300$.

Nobody bid on it me neither, maybe that was not so smart, still I prefer one totally intact :inquisiti

2 years ago this one was also doing 400-500-600 itll be difficult, just need to get lucky once, itll happen one day, i believe :)

That's what I paid too. A good price IMO, even with that small damage.

[leks]

You're right but I am a bit of an ass in that sense, after seeing that one go for 180 it got stuck in my head I should be able to get one for 300, but I should get rid of that illusion. That's also why I havenot bought the Aphrodite and Magdalena statue and others I used to have plenty of chances to buy those at much lower prices, lol.

But the draco is really special I will try and track that 300$ auction back tonite I remember it was UK... :)

[Skulpturen]

I asked the Shifletts about how many Draco's exist. They said they only produced 1000 ! The box art has 4000 printed, but due to the delay (the movie was long over) Moore decided to only make 1000.

So this is as rare as the Daddy Balrog! :) Only a bit cheaper... :laugh:

[Collection King 13]

That piece is really cool! I had it on my watch list and thought about bidding but I've been buying too much stuff... :banghead:

[Zurbaran1]

Yeah, this is a great piece. I ahd my chance when they came out but passed on it. :banghead: Great that you got one Laszlo and Leks you'll find yours. Next time you have trouble slitting your throat give me a holler. :eplus2:



just kidding.

[leks]

Next time you have trouble slitting your throat give me a holler. :eplus2:


Damn you Zurb I am just glad you are not my girlfriend...euh I mean....well... yes that's exactly what I mean.... glad you're not my gf :puke2: :laugh:


btw nothing personal just the goatee :eplus2:

[Comicboy]

A most excellent choice! This piece had been one of my grails for along time. I got mine from a gentlemen here, an AP to boot! Not that I care if it's an AP, I'm just so happy I got it. Spines are the biggest issue with this one. Hard to find any that don't have at least 1 broken.

AP? :eek: how much?
:bawling: :banghead: :( this is my grail #2...if anyone out there can help me find/get this, it would be very much appreciated.

Don't think it's the same one from the freaks board, could be I guess. But it's not actually mine, just pics I pulled up.

[leks]

Thx Zurb noticed if you google vermi etc. you get lots of nice dragons... anyway I try not to do kits so... :)

[msw313]

Bedrock Comics from Texas had one of these for sale at the Baltimore Con in September.

They didn't sell it at the show (don't know what they were asking for it), but Clay stopped by their booth and signed it for them.

Give 'em a call (don't know their number, but they do have a big ad in Overstreet price guide). They might still have it.

[leks]

Well if someone could pick that up for me I'd be forever grateful and you can have a bust @ my expense (mb that is ;))

[The General]
