Thanks for all the Congrats

Big price to pay for a figure but I felt I really wanted to add just one SR to the collection.

After shedding much of my coloured collection and keeping just the ones I loved, I knew that a SR would be the icing on the cake.

So, once this arrives, I will only be on the lookout for a few more figures before I draw a line under my collection and classify it as 'complete'

You know who you are......Purple 155......Purple 153..........Red 24

Will post some pics of my refined collection once Bonbe arrives

Thanks
John

I might sell off both of mine

Clawfreak and S. Dog, To get that price, that would mean BOTH John and I would want it. This figure added to the story line because of the blue flakes on it. That was the reason I went after it.

Indeed it would - though I am not sure I will ever actually want another one - besides, my wife will likely kill me when she learns about Bonbe!!

The blue flakes were a BIG draw to the figure for me too - the history behind the figure, likely enclosed in a 4-pack. How great would it have been to see that 4-pack....and what were the other 3 figures!!??

Now - where do I start to look for that elusive purple claw.......?

LOL, if John disappears from the forum for a while then we will all know why! j/k

Congrats and I'm glad it went to a LRG member.

Thanks Biff - I will probably take a bunch of flowers home with me after work - although that might only serve to start the alarm bells ringing for her!! haha!!

If she threatens that, you'll have someone you can sell it to and not lose a dime.

So thats why the auction went so high. It was the blue flakes all along.

Hey Sherrie

1: The divorce process should be pretty straight forward: She gets the house, car, savings, kids & goldfish and I will get Dr Bonbe and my Flesh MUSCLE set. Oh, and a tent!

2: I still like a good deal and try to be economical with buying MUSCLEs when possible, but when a nice piece pops up, that all goes out the window!!

That is if she lets you have that stuff.

...I know - It does seem I'm getting the better deal doesn't it !!??

Only if you like sleeping out in the cold. I see a LOT of honey dos coming in your future.

Hey guys

I got an email from Ironmask 2 nights ago to let me know that Bonbe is on his way!

I am tracking his every move now - he was last spotted in Chicago, IL yesterday - probably preparing for International Departure

How very exciting!!!

[Strontium Dog]

Let's hope he isn't intercepted by customs, because I dread to think what kind of import duty would be payable on a £1150 value figure

I was just thinking the same thing!

I hope the figure was sent certified with USPS red stamps over ever seam of the package!

[TOPHER]

OH! OH!
Ay Ironmask I think ya screwed up the shipping packages.
Opened my box expecting a big stash of C.U.T.I.E.S.
and this is what I got instead.

John,hope ya like yer C.U.T.I.E.S. .

[jmckinnon316]

Lol! You're a bad lad Topher!!

My purchase from Ironmask was a 'gift' with a value not exceeding '$40'.

It's a risk but was sent Express International with full tracking, and I've never yet had problems with stuff from the States

Fingers and everything else crossed that it arrives by Tuesday (as USPS predicted)
