Wait 'til you see it... (Oh, and guess who won?)

[dixiebull]

Are you saying you won? That was a lucky break for whoever scored that. Lots of goodies in there. 

[plasticfiend]

If you got it - good for you!!  Nice deal!

Wow sweet!! 4 series 3 mimps!! Great deal!!!

[TMAN]

Nice class A too

[Smotemotem]

That is an amazing deal.

 

It's as if the seller said "For sale: two series 3 MIMP and 80+ other toys for free. SOME RARE."

[NeonGreen]

It wasn't until I re-read what I posted last night that I realized it sounded like I won it.

I did not.

No, unfortunately this juicy lot went to one the MUSCLE community's favorite villains from Glendale, Arizona. So any chance of these spreading through the ranks of MIMP collectors (or those interested in the MUSCLEs, for that matter) without being completely and utterly gouged, is pretty much non-existent.

Sorry, gang, I wish I could say these were mine! But at least we can all agree the guy got a smoking hot deal.

I just raged a little on the inside

[Smotemotem]

Somebody should start a contest.

 

The winner is the one who guesses most closely how much these will be relisted for.

 

I'm guessing $100 apiece for each Anubis, at least. 

[thenerdieststore]

My guess would be 120 with 8 for shipping if it's mike

[BaltanII]

It's crazy how I scrutinized this auction to see how many MIMPs were in it, only to keep finding an Anubis I missed before!

 

Four Anubis plus one Orobas for that BIN... damn.

I don't personally know any Canadian toy collectors, (by which I mean IRL know them), that know essentially anything about MUSCLE or MIMP. To an even further extent, I don't know a single one that knows diddly about the GPK stuff either. And we're talking guys who've been in the collecting game for close to as long as I've been alive. Canadians are sitting on a goldmine for rare/uncommon shit that people want and a good majority of us likely don't know. (I had an orange Leviathan sitting in an old LEGO bucket from when I was a kid, for example.)

Toy collecting just isn't to the same scale up here as it is in the states. In my experience, it mostly sticks to the bigger, more well-known names. (MOTU, Joes, Transformers, etc.)

More in relation to your post: I doubt he even knew what he had.

I agree. I live in Canada and 2 of the best muscle buys I have ever bought were from the same guy. Who runs a vintage toy store for a living. I even told him after the first time that I made money. He still didnt bother to look up their values the second time either. He has crazy amounts of Motu and joes tho lol. I garuntee he knows what every one of them is worth.

[Draznar]

My shop is pretty much the same. McFarlane stuff, Star Wars, Joes, Transformers galore. Minis are few and far between.

I have got some nice stuff there though!

Do you make a living with the store?

I don't think this is a Canadian thing at all, I never meet anyone outside of this site who seems to know anything about any of the primary lines discussed here. This includes other toy forums as well as toy/resale shop owners and collectors I meet in person. The usual response I get is something like, "oooh yeah I think I remember those things" if not a simple blank stare. The most "in-store representation" of the lines I've seen was in that one store in Portland with crazy prices (fleshies for $3-4, BBs for 25)

 

but yeah common fare for toy shops seem to be Marvel and McFarlane carded stuff and loose GI Joes. Every now and then I'll find a gem like that place in the mountains a few month ago selling carded TMNT and Visionaries for under ebay prices, but for the most part I'm disappointed with stores

Sorry, I call it "mine", but I was just saying as in "my store that I go to."

It's not actually mine, though both me and my wife have toyed with the idea of opening up our own one day!

[TheRiddler]

I have a bunch of stores and thrift shops around me. I find s good amount of minis along with video games and vintage action figures. They never know anything about the minis and the thrift shops never know anything lol. South Jersey and philly are hot spots. I find toys and games in people's trash on trash night lol

Mental note:  Next time I'm up North, do some toy hunting....gotta be something else worth going up there for, other than the usual:  Molson guzzling, smoked meat platters, maple candies, and raunchy strip clubs.
