Newbie collector with a question

My name is Maarten and I'm from the Netherlands. I used to have about 8 MIMP figures when I was younger, but now I'm trying to build a collection.
So far, I've only bought this: http://cgi.ebay.co.u...E:X:RTQ:GB:1123
Could you tell me if it was a good purchase?
I myself thought the price was right...
Are there things I should look out for when purchasing MIMP?
The things I want to collect are only from the old series 1,2 and maybe, if I happen to stumble upon some, series 3 Nabisco Frosted Wheat Shreddies/ Big Boy monsters....
All the best,
Maarten

You want to collect for a full set or color variants?
To get a complete set of series 1 & 2 it won't take long.
And you have good chances for series 3 on ebay.com. The market is flooded with them for a short time.

Glad I didn't pay too much!
First of all, I'm going to try to get all the different series 1 and 2 figures. After that, I'll probably want to collect the colour variations and the series 3 figures...
Series 3 is the series with Jimmy Squarefoot and the Centaur, right?

Well, First I'll see if I'll succeed in completing a complete 'basic set' and maybe if I can get a good deal somewhere I'll get some of the series 3 MIMPs.

That's a great auction indeed, but unfortunately the shipping costs are about $ 39, which is way too high in my opinion...
Ahhh, I had forgot that you said you were in the Netherlands. $39 is quite steep of a price to pay. I know eBay U.K. has some decent MIMP auctions, I would check there. Shipping would at least be more affordable.
