Canadian auction with two class A figures. The salmon guy on the third row on the right and the bottom right green figure with wings on his head. (I'm rusty because I can't remember their numbers :wallbash: , and I'm too lazy to look them up. :biggrin2:)

You got 2 collectors battling out for figures they dont have to complete their master set. If those class A show up agian. It wouldnt be that much.

Does Nico have the Class A figures already? If he doesn't, good luck because you'll need it.

So far Nico hasn't bid yet. I talked to him not long ago and he hasn't been pursuing MUSCLE lately. But, that's not to say he won't bid and if he does, he'll probably win.

Nico is like me I think. He bids within the last 10 seconds. At least from what I saw on two Class A auctions I bid on a few months ago, and lost to him.

I can't believe I overlooked a green 50. Had I been paying a little more attention, I would have been the high bidder, however briefly.

Absolutely, if I know you or Nico are bidding on an auction then it is pretty much over, unless a new crazy bidder enters the arena.

Another auction from Canada was just listed yesterday with a class A figure. With the increase of collectors going after a master set it really has put class A figures in high demand. I'm shocked that they are going for this much though. Especially considering that they pop up relatively frequently. I mean, look at how many salmon claws have popped up in the last 2 months! Some people paid a lot for them and others paid very little. Patience will yield savings but impatience yields instant gratification, it just depends on your collecting style.

Here is the other Class A auction with a green #186: http://www.ebay.ca/i...c7#ht_500wt_938

heh i blame everything on blue zord! lol
i think there have been 6 salmon claws in the last 2 months alone? i got mine for 14 figures ;) only one of which was claw A. i got extremely lucky and i know it. but some people do have a "money is no object" mentality when it comes to class a's

I don't even like the #116 figure that much but I guess I need it for a master set. Pricing like this is where people decide if it's really worth having or not

Not so sure about dropping the green 50 to Class B status, but I'm currently the high bidder on the second auction.
