Well now, just cause you already own them doesn't mean you can't still want to get more
Though in all honesty I wish this was a sentiment more collectors would possess. It's not a matter of calling 'dibs' on something, it's a matter of being kind to another collector who's need or desire is a little stronger. Obviously though very few collectors (or people in general) have enough empathy to say 'your need/desire is stronger than mine' and act accordingly. Many, many more people would instead immediately take the stance of 'so what, I want it too', never even thinking that maybe the person wants it to get back a fond childhood memory or something.
But I digress, as I think very few people will agree with me (in fact, I wouldn't be surprised if someone quotes my above statement to disagree with it). I agree with Brojo but I thought I'd point out that what he's asking for is more uncommon than it seems.
I am going to bid and take EVERYTHING! The ARCO World is mine!!! Mwahahaha!!!
Just kidding. The Grim One has already pm'ed me. I said he could go for it as all I really want/need was the INfamous ("so famous, that it's In the famous..") Red Lizardman. And I am the guilty party who keeps bringing it up (red lizard man! red lizard man!!) because that is the only one of 8 known ARCO Dragons'n Monsters figures I never owned. When I got these as a youngster, factory screw-up short-changed me... that's right... a red lizardman.
GrimsBrotherSpooky is really a cool guy and I hope he wins the auction.
RED LIZARDMAN!!!
If you're referring to the eBay auction which I posted a link to yesterday, then you're mistaken. The starting bid is $4.99 USD, not $49.99.
I hope you'll consider letting "Grimbrothersspooky" try to win those DNM figures for his collection, especially since you already own every DNM figure except the red lizardman - which isn't even in that lot. Just a suggestion.
Yeppers! My bad. It was late at night when I checked this out and would have sworn it said $49.99. I must be getting old and senile...
