Understandably there were fifteen bids for this item but perhaps best of all. I got these suckers for $103.06 less than what I'd predicted! AWESOME!!!

So for those on 'ere who don't 'ave deep enough pockets, feel free to be jealous!

It's great that you're happy, but the day paying $150 for two LRGs is lucky is the day...

Actually, not sure where I'm going with that. Just an odd definition of "lucky" is all.

I'm very happy for you, don't think I'll ever get that deep into MIMP.

I felt like this when I got all my Cerberus and Ghost figures in all 3 series 2 colours for under £20 (in three seperate auctions over the period of 3 months)

The last Pink Leviathan I saw went for $99 and the last Siren went for $51 (both 4th Jan 2010) so the final sale value of $147 would appear to be entirely consistent with current market values. Still, if you valued them at $250, I guess you have to be happy getting them for less than that

Did this particular seller have a Green Siren listed and a Pink Centaur that had an arm missing by any chance? Coz I distinctly remember noticing he/she was charging $15 p&p to ship each individual figurine!

The main reason for valuing these at $250 however, was because the description stated Siren was yellow instead of orange. So I merely put 2 & 2 together and immediately clicked on and thought it was bound to be one of Big Boy's promos. Or at least I hope it is!

Not to be a bummer there but I think you got screwed: that looks pretty dang orange to me Andy. :\

[Strontium Dog]

Er, yeah. Not only does it look orange, but the description says they came from cereal.

[andy53600]

You may be right. (However, Andy seems really nice - so I hope you're wrong.)

It's important to remember, though, that there AREN'T actually any "yellow" Series-3 figures - merely a more yellowish shade of orange. I call the Big Boy orange figures "yellowish-orange" (although I could easily see someone calling them "orangish-yellow").

Also keep in mind that some "Big Boy" Series-3 figures are made of hard plastic instead of soft plastic (ask "RareBob" or "GormTransMonsters" for a list of exactly which ones). Therefore, in some cases you could ask the seller whether the figure is flexible or hard, to determine whether it's "Shreddies" or "Big Boy". But only in some cases.


That doesn't necessarily mean that they actually did come from cereal. The seller may not have been the original owner. Information about the "Big Boy" Series-3 figures is relatively hard to find: most websites only state that Series-3 figures came from Shreddies cereal, incorrectly implying that ALL Series-3 figures came from Shreddies. The seller may have acquired these figures from someone else, done some internet research about them, and then accidentally misstated their origins.

Just now got a reply to that very question. And to be honest, seller did'nt know an awful lot about 'em besides the fact it once belonged to one of their kids. They only found out general info from searching the web! So must've been Raumhafen Collector's Archive surely.
