Congrats on the win!

Yes, I was bidding on it but half heartedly. That probably was the first time I lost an auction in 15 years. I was more interested in seeing what it would sell for in the end. Plus I like watching the fireworks at the end of an auction. You also get the real market value of a piece in a live auction setting. I ended up getting a absolutely killer deal on the Ex w/ the framed portrait.

Thanks, but knowing that I (luckily) beat out a dude that has a 15 year Ebay winning streak? Priceless.

But seriously, I was thrilled to land my big fish for a good price, but you managed to land "the great white whale"! Good man, & kudos.

Just goes to show that it truly ain't over, until it's over. So for all you hunters out there, don't give up.

Congrats on a successful hunting expedition!

This is one of the best statues to get. It's a great representation of Thanos, for sure.

Yeeesh ...double post.

Just a thought.

Read some of the posts of collectors regretting passing on Thanos when initially released, as I did. And by all means, find a way, & get him. As a huge character, in the midst of "normal" sized statues, gives a collection scope & depth, & truly makes you appreciate the shear mass & presence of these beastly boys.

Now, for those who have not yet committed to Juggernaut? I truly, honestly, am unable, can't understand, am perplexed, dumbfounded, on WTF are you all waiting for????!!!!!

Though Juggernaut is not an A list character as Thanos, no matter, because the sculpt is. Has as much presence as Thanos, with an iconic action pose, and incredibly still in stock. For those who are interested, I would strongly advise to start searching now for deals.

Don't make the same mistake in waiting too long, because Juggs is a keeper, & in hand, will knock you on your arse.

Yes, I'm truly happy for you with this acquisition and I don't feel bad losing to a fellow member of this forum. I'm making the trip to AZ in the morning from California to pick mine up. Gonna make the trip all in one day. Maps says that it's 6.5 hours one way to AZ from where I live. I had to make the trip cause it's going to save me almost $600 doing it this way. Plus, I promised myself this time around in the hobby. I was going to enjoying the chase more and create a few memories along the way.

I'm so pumped to finally have this piece in my collection cause only Lord knows the fight I've had, to make it back into this hobby that I love so much.


Congrats again!

Yeah, collectors are holding on to him with a iron grip. The only one up on eBay is in the UK and it looks to have been listed a few times after the two previous initial sells. I have the reg. it is truly a site to behold in person.

Congrats to you as well.

Wow, that is true dedication man, but Thanos does deserve the effort.

Have a safe trip & enjoy, because there is nothing like a road trip when you know a pot of gold is waiting.

Make sure your car/truck has the room, as the box is quite large. Take care, and give us your take when you catch your breath.

After a 15 hour round trip today...
