Here is the Auction, I am trying something out. I want this figure to cast up, I think its one of the coolest of the Super Rares, Up there with Mammoth Man~!

http://page7.auction...tion/g136105034

If I can get enough people to add to the fund, I can buy this sucka and cfast pl it up to share the wealth! Depending on your contribution You will get appropriate Prizes~!

$1-$5 - deep gratitude for helping fund this.
$15 - small grab bag of keshi (mix of kinkeshi, gundam, etc)
$30 - 1 Trainman casting
$50 - 2 Trainman castings
$100 - 5 Trainman castings (or any of the other Super Rare castings, or other customs I have available- $125 worth)
$200+ - a mix of whatever creations of my own I have ever casted up in any colors you want! ($250 worth)
(Depending on what "pledge" you give I can offer any custom of my own available if you dont want a Trainman)
*Shipping separate*

I wont be collecting any money unless I get enough people to join in~! We only have 2 days so its a long shot. Already I have $150 worth of contributions.

If you wanna help I would need the money before I put in the bid, I cant rely on people saying they will pay when they get paid or in a week, or anything like that.

so its now or never~!

Post here and PM me if you are down to help.

I'm going to have to pledge for $30 bud. I love this guy and would love him to go alongside my King 100 Ton and Mr VTR SRs. Shoot me your details via FB if you want

P.S. Depending on my funds at the time you cast him, I might want to add some $ so that you can add an SR Haniwaman to my package, as I've got eye on him too.

*Also, I'll take the liberty to post this scan that Eric posted before of Trainman, showing some more angles - just in case anybody was unsure how super cool he is!!

I really love the idea of community-funded figures. Even if this doesn't work given the time allotted, I'd love to see an idea like this come to fruition here on the LRG board. That said, I'm in for $30 too. Wish I could afford to drop some more cash.

[PlasticSoul]

You should add a lower "pledge" level for people who want to help but not enough to buy a 30 dollar figure.

 

Maybe like 5 bucks just to help the cause with nothing offered in return?

 

I would pledge 5 bucks just to help.

[Ericnilla]

Didn't think of that, was just thinking the quicker higher amount!

Gonna add the smaller "pledges"

[TMAN]

How much do you think you will need to buy this sucker ?

[bachamn]

well, it has a ~$1k buyout, so after fees and shipping the max would be somewhere around the $1150 range I think

 

The current bid is a little over $700, so $850 minimum at the moment excluding future potential bids

I can buy it without fee's through a friend. So between $800-$1000.

[DDR]

You got my $30 dude!
Cheers

So we need 25-33 people to pledge at least $30

The Japanese Yen has depreciated against the U.S. dollar recently, so I think we just broke the current bid price!  A few more pledges...

[bigburty]

I can almost taste that train smoke in the distance...

[Ericnilla]

Just got an anonymous Pledger for the rest we needed!

I knew this would have ended with somebody using the bin, so I just went ahead and went with the bin myself.
