The weapon the rhino is holding actually goes with the boar fig standing next to him.
There is a complete 1-76 set of beasts, plus several of the variant figs, and all three playsets being sold by one of our members right now, on ebay.
If you don't mind dropping $1800 on it!

I gota few more figures at a flea market for $.25 each.
Welcome! Was this recently? That is amazing! I'd pay 25 cents for a chewed up beast with one leg! Haha -- shipping included.

Man, do you think he would take 13% off if buying direct? That is the ebay cut and the paypal cut -- a savings of $234!

The flea market was in 2010. I paid $.75 for the other 3 figures without weapons.
$1800 for a complete set! My pockets aren't that deep. I'd like to collect them in small lots of individually.

Yeah I hear that seller is a jerk....
It's for a guy I helped start a set for on here about 1.5 years ago. He left the boards but saw me sell my spare set and wanted to try his out. He only has 24 feedback on ebay so he thinks I'll get more offers with my better ratings. Short story is he needs the cash for his kids instead of the toys so he's selling all those spares and then the full set. If anyone is interested I'll give you his bottom pricing. $1800 is a huge markup do to free overseas shipping and ebay/paypal fees. He's hoping to walk away with around $1200 after shipping costs. Still steep since it will be $1200 + shipping but better than $1800 and much better than just 13% off. But that's where he asked me to start it off at. Given he isn't on these boards anymore I hope I don't get yelled at but I want to be fair and that's his bottom pricing.
The other figures in those 3 lots I have are like $2.50-4 plus shipping depending on what you want. He had a bunch of lower 12 lasers but someone already claimed most of them off me. I may be able to knock him down to free shipping but I think on those, that's actually the prices he paid.
MEANwill, I'll message you my thoughts but small lots will kill your overall pricing. The best thing to do is buy bulk and resell. I've helped a lot of guys out (hopefully someone will back me) and it always ends up lower than their budget if they're willing to buy large lots, take a few pieces and resell the others. Buying a couple at a time saves you the spares and headaches of reselling, but you'll pay more in the long run. But that's just my 2 cents. And how much it costs just depends on the current market. After watching reopened series 3 packs sell for $200, who knows what a set is worth these days.

He's a top-notch dude, and one of the easiest to deal with, most fair, straight up good guys that I have dealt with on LRG.

He's sold me a majority of my collection and found them for better prices than anyone else on this board will dare to offer. He's a real legit dude.

wanted to echo this sentiment; I made the mistake of buying a lot of individual when I was finishing up my 1-76 set a few years ago but did this with the majority of my LB purchases and it really does pay off in the end. You won't have a problem reselling unless you get greedy.
I will vouch for MCA19 any day. He's a top-notch dude, and one of the easiest to deal with, most fair, straight up good guys that I have dealt with on LRG.

I totally back mca19 and came here to point you in his direction.

Yup, got a real great head start from him and Optimus.
Best of luck with your set!

Welcome to the fold! Of all the collecting I've done over the last 15-20 years, BBs have been one of my favorite toy lines. A great way to get going is checking the got toys/want toys/ sections and do trading (every profile has a feedback number to help assure any concerns). Another thing I use is paypal credit; allows you to make bigger purchases then pay them off slowly. Hope it all goes well for you here!
Just a dude that loves collecting

I all ways found buying large mixed lots on eBay and relisting or trading the parts I didn't need was a good way to start.
Good luck mate.

I also back this its definantly better to buy a couple at a time and just wait for stuff to turn up (It does most of the time) it's not a racewanted to echo this sentiment; I made the mistake of buying a lot of individual when I was finishing up my 1-76 set a few years ago but did this with the majority of my LB purchases and it really does pay off in the end.

^^^^^
This is what I did when finishing my set and Allways buy complete I don't get this whole buying figs with no weapons then buying them separate.
