I picked one of these up at the discounted price and it arrived today (#288 out of 500). Yeah, the paint is not good but I knew that going in and plan on repainting it. For the discount price I think it's not too bad. But I'm going to customize the "bleep" out of it to get it much better.

Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back.

What isn't would be a shorter list and it is not just the paint that was an issue. Are you looking to get one to repaint?

Basically the Endo's should look much more chrome and metal-like and this collectible varies a lot in the paint application giving it a much darker look. Even the piece I got in the picture a couple posts back is darker even than the pic looks. I'm definitely repainting mine.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.
