Well, if that is high, then they won't sell and he will be out listing fees. Plus everyone already knows he has a ton, so they might not be quick to buy, if that price is too high.He already is doing, at £10 a piece. Gotten greedy, which is a shame.
NE1 Want to go in on these?

My luck was in today 8 figures for a quid and I spotted a blue mad scientist. I cannot believe I had to pay 12.5p for him

After a day, he still hasn't sold a single one.
Pretty much deserved though. Why do people come on here to get sage advice on the value of their toys, then promptly list them at twice the price?
A bad day for fools who think they know more than the experts.

You must have been gutted, also on the value they could be worth 10quid but with the amount he has drops it by half, i only paid 10 for my magenta ghost and that loads rarer.

I would guess that he is betting on a few people to pay the premium price first, then he will drop it down.

If that's the case, he needs to brush up on game theory. Nobody's going to pay the premium price when they can see he has dozens.

Nobody here. But I am guessing that there are a handful of MIMP collectors who aren't here on LRG and who didn't see his massive lot when it was up.If that's the case, he needs to brush up on game theory. Nobody's going to pay the premium price when they can see he has dozens.

I have them all already, but if I didn't, I'd be all over it at £5. At £10 - not so much.

Wonder why there aren't any winged panther up?
Are those rare? Could/would someone have paid 10GBP for each of those and that's how he arrived at 10 each?

Hi Guys
I am typically a MUSCLE collector but I bought in some 'Ghost' MIMP figures over the last month or two simply because I love that sculpt and because I remember having some MIMP in my younger days.
I have 5 different coloured ghosts and am always looking to add the rest (unless they're ultra rare, and too costly!)
Anyway, The ghosts were the only figures I had from MIMP until I saw this MIMP auction for series one premiums last week and because I would never have bid hundreds for the whole lot, I was kinda happy when he broke them down and tried to sell individually. £10 seemed too much so I contacted him and finally managed to get him to sell them off to me for £6 each (£48 for one each of the figures, including delivery within the UK)
If you ask him, he may do the same for you. He seems like a reasonable and practical guy and is certainly trustworthy as our deal was done outside eBay. A win-win!
Maybe I paid a little more than I absolutely had to but they're all in excellent condition and it was a great chance to grab a handful in one go
If you have some interesting MUSCLEs I need (see my 'needs list' below), feel free to offer a swap for one or more of these MIMP as I received them today and might just be tempted!
Cheers
John

As far as I know the figures 38 onwards in premium colours were exclusive to the uk all others were us apart from the board game figures.So are all of those premiums UK exclusive?

I can understand the opinion that the rarity of these figures has just plummeted with how many dupes the seller has & his asking prices will surely drop considerably but i'd pay £10 each for a pine Invis man & cyan Panther all day long & i have! 
I'm impatient & the opportunity to freely get these figures (the two i've mentioned only) at a moderate price with no bidding wars was too tempting.
Had these popped up in a random auction i'd have surely been forced to pay more.
I don't care how cheap they get, i can tick these off my list & move on now, lol.
I will be waiting for Ghoul, Mummy, Hunchback & Scientist prices to drop though!

Well, he's already reduced the price of them on eBay to £8. The price will come down again though, he has too many of them for it not too.

This may seem like a Brojo moment, but yes, I just quoted myself.
