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."

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.

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.

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!

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
Posted 12 February 2016 - 10:15 AM
Do you make a living with the store?
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!

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.
Welcomed currency: Rubber Uglies, rubber monsters, jigglers, vinyl monsters, Arco monsters, Imperial monsters, fish cans....

As if anyone needs more of a reason!
Well, she said she was French and straight from Paris, but something about her ciggy breath and stretch marks said Quebec straight from Tim Horton's.....
