Did I get a good deal? [sarcasm]

So...look what I got off Craigslist for $100 even today:



All of them were still sealed in their original shipping boxes from GG/SS, and the guy has a few other things he's parting with for insanely low prices, like the PF Leia for $110.

Nope, he took it down, but I told him about this site so he might be joining soon.

I DO feel bad for getting such a good deal and seemingly ripping him off, but the guy said they're all from a now dead eBay business and he doesn't look up how much things go for any more. He was really cool (and looked like Frodo and Hagrid combined) and we talked about how a lot of crap goes on on eBay, and he basically just got sick of it and stopped. I even told him how much I've seen Boba go for sometimes and that didn't seem to phase him at all.

Honestly, I'm really tempted to sell Palpatine just so I can get money to put toward Snape (I have a little savings box just for that), but might keep him around because it's such a good bust.

I recently got a great find like this and scored a Jango, Tusken and Jawa Attakus for $275 total.

Couldn't belive it, and same story- he did not seem phased at all that they normally go for much more. He just wanted to get rid of them quick, and didn't have the patience to wait and get more for them.


GG Boba statue, GG palps and SS Fisto for $100!!!
Great score my friend.

If it were me, I would keep the Palps and Boba, and get rid of that SS.

If you don't have Palps, it's a keeper. One of the finer sculpts and paint apps GG has done on their mini-bust line.

I don't like a lot of the 1:6 SS figures, but seeing as how Kit's not going to be getting a better version in ANY form (unless a 1:1 bust comes out), I dig this figure.

Palpatine sure as hell is a cool bust, and I can see why he goes for the prices he usually does, but Snape's always on my mind. I'm not too big on the busts after seeing how well GG did on a few statues, and would like my display to all be in more or less the same size. Even if I had a riser, he looks kinda weird next to the animated Leia and Obi-Wan + Asajj maquettes.
