Rarebob, remember when you laughed at this?
Not a chance that ill get rid, sorry dude, however I do have a neon purple griffin I would gladly sell for £80

No worries completely understand matey - When will your site be up and running again keep trying to have a look but it ain't popping up?

Two years ago, I think, the market was flooded with cyan Jotun Trolls, pine T-Rexes, and orange Hydras by this one seller who inexplicably kept selling them in lots of five each. I won an auction of each and divided them up among collectors here (and eventually sold the ones I had kept). So I might not call those rare exactly, but some of the others are certainly up there in terms of rarity.

Speak of the devil!

The seller obviously learned his lesson from last time as he's only listing them in lots of three this time around

I am obviously up for one of each of these, although I'm guessing I'm not the only one.

However, if there's any kind of group buying effort going down, I definitely want a piece of the action.

I noticed them too this morning, kind of coincidental seeing as they were mentioned very recently here. I was thinking maybe there might be some group effort to buy them too and second you on that one Danny

[DarrylWestley]

That is crazy! Is this the same seller do you think Boaconda?
It is a very interesting coincidence. If they did read this forum I am guess
rarebob's offer of £80 got their alarm bells ringing

[Strontium Dog]

If you check his feedback, you'll see he sold the same things 2 years ago. And for absolute rock bottom prices too!

[DarrylWestley]

Bizarre! He has sold quite a few...
$17.48 for 5 Blue Jotun Trolls

I reckon I ought to get a mini look in at least for saying second haha:-D but not sure if that counts or not:S Seems too good an opportunity to miss seeing as they are in 3s as opposed to one turning up now and again and in a lot that everyones already got etc

[Czarcher]

Thanks for the heads up S-Dog. I'll be going for the T-Rex's and possibly the Trolls. Good Luck!

So me you and S-Dog - let me know if thats cool and i'll win them

[Strontium Dog]

Seems like a plan, I have a feeling more than one consortium will be in for this one

Not sure I'd be prepared to splash out 80 notes per figure though

Dont worry i'm sure i can always do trade/sale or summit to help you no worries

[1313]

Haha you're right there mate, not really sure what people would value them at though but I don't think I'd really fancy spalshing out even £30+ on one, bit short on funds after getting two lots with 11 rares/premiums in them the other night lol

[DarrylWestley]

I am glad I am out of this one
All the best with your negotiations!

[bigazzhead]

Wow, those are some nice auctions.

[Daxel101uk]

Wow, those are some nice auctions.

Wow pretty cool figures yes! Are these genuine or knockoffs? If there genuine I would be interested in getting involved too ppl, But if everyone has taken the hydras and the t.rex's can I get maybe one of the j.trolls??

[Bogi]

I'd be interested in a pine T-Rex, the other two I have, good luck to all Where do you think the guy is getting those quantities from?

[BaltanII]

I'm the $17.48 winner of the Jotun Trolls, in his feedback.

The feedback isn't representative of every set sold two years ago either.

Wow pretty cool figures yes! Are these genuine or knockoffs?

No more fake than they were the last time around.

[DarrylWestley]

I asked the seller if they knew the source of the figures? If they were in single packs,
boardgame or from cereal.

This is their reply (the irony is that they mention my website):

"From what I found out, and I had to do a lot of research, these monsters were re-releases
of the series 1 monsters, they were called premium monsters - here's one source
http://www.monsterco.../1-premium.html So, they are series 1 monsters in series
2 colors. I did some more research and found out that they're not the cereal box prize monsters,
and I'm not sure if they were offered in a single pack. It's a little confusing because this site
http://monsterinmypo...m/wiki/Series_1 lists these colors as premium colors that
came with the board game, but when I looked at the board game pieces, these monsters weren't
there. I got these from a guy who used to own an arcade on the jersey shore. He said that he
would give them away as prizes, so who knows if there were a seperate series of monsters for
situations like that. I really don't know, but I hope that this answers your question. =) "

[Daxel101uk]

Holy crap you paid £71 for the pair? Thats a hells of a lot but you said it you're known for high bids. Why do I get the feeling that seller is on this forum, its all so coincidental if they aren't haha
