Vince, you have them?
I can help you put a down payment on a house, no problem!



You just gotta lower your standards of living...

Gotta admit though, it does look cozy!

I bought my reg Akuma for roughly that price...It was a custom from Andrew but i dont regret it at all!! But one thing i do regret was not buying one from craigslist in Vancouver not to long ago...he had a reg Ryu and reg Akuma for 1800 for the pair and i hummed and hawwed over it for a month then it was gone. Still kicking myself in the ass

I hate that!

A seller on these boards had the best prices for street fighter statues I have ever seen, but at the time I wasn't collecting them, so I passed, he had:
Shin 1200
Evil Ryu 600
Green Vega 600 etc, etc.
I keep thinking about those over and over lol.

Yea, I did say complete but complete to me is just having one of each sculpt, and since they are only EX's decided to wait for a Shin, I have:

Evil Ryu
Cammy EX
Vega EX
Green Vega PCS EX
Ken EX
Zangief REG
Zangief EX
Guile EX

Where do you find all your APs???
Its hard enough finding just reg's and ex's! ou must have some serious patience.
That is a really nice collection!!
I just wait till one pops up on the bay! Almost bought the Guile EX AP, but decided to save the money to complete the others first.
At the moment there is one Zangief EX AP on the Bay from our friend Tosh.

I remember Darren telling me he had an offer for 1500 for both,i guess now i know it was you making that offer,he is a good guy,and i ended up getting his Akuma he had for sale.He was trying to sell them both as a package deal,but i had no desire to own a regular Ryu,so i think i grabbed the Akuma for 800,and the regular Ryu sold for 750 and went to someone in Toronto.He also is selling his Vega EX for 400,but it has minor lean issue...dont know if that ever sold or not
