I ordered two lots on ebay and got myself three accidental premiums. I think I am on a roll. :) Anyone else had that feeling with a lot?

I got a lot for a few hundred that was supposed to have 6 series 3 and a bunch of other goodies. But it actually had 9 series 3 along with the other goodies! And 2 of them were the Tyrian Purple :)

By & large collecting MIMP for me has never come easy & I've never felt lucky. In my experience the top collectors never seem particularly helpful with trading/selling & prove to be a total nightmare when bidding against on eBay.
Negative view, but there you go.
Luckiest I've ever been was a few months ago when a prototype Baba Yaga was auctioned & I won it for around £30. That still amazes me that everyone slept on that auction considering the stupid money people throw around now.

I can understand the stupid concept with what I experienced with the series 3 mimp auction I dealt with. The money isn't to big but it is frustrating when you really want something. I am just happy no one does the $1000+ high roller crap that I have seen the big joe collectors do. A mimp is rare but nothing is worth that money.

That $.99 sealed Hardee's T-rex I got recently was my best luck with MIMP so far, but I've had my share of lucky strikes on Beastformers :)

The same seller who is known on here was selling a huge neon premiums & Peru collection at the same time which may have helped but I was still really surprised with the price.
It's moulded in flesh/tan plastic with no points number or base markings. They're well documented here & I think about two lots adding up to a dozen or so figures have shown up so far.

I've yet to have that sort of luck...probably because I won't pay over $1 per figure.

Current collecting goal: obtain all 148 Monster In My Pocket Series 1 figures in regular colors (71.62% there)

 

So many toys, so little money!

Yeah that is a pretty good price.  I got a pink Jimmy for about 25.00 a few years back... for some reason no one was bidding on him.
