agreed, :)

I figure I'll hold on to mine and if Xhairs decides he wants one, I'll sell it to him, :)

I think a big part of it is the fact that Comic Con just happened, and the U.S. JoeCon is about to happen.

I'm positive the demand is still there for these. It's just that people are using their money for other con items right now - and summer.

Obviously the sets are not in that big a demand, so feel free to send me your sets and I'll make sure they get a good home!!  :lol:

I think that Mike is partially right.  I also think that summer time is a big lull with people spending money on vacations and upcoming bills (back to school, etc).  Also, refund cheques are long gone now so splurging on extras is on the downslide.

I would watch more closely near Christmas when someone needs a killer present for their mate/friend/whatever.

General Hawk: Technically, G.I. Joe does not exist, but if it did, it\'d be comprised of the top men and women from the top military units in the world, the alpha dog\'s. When all else fails, we don\'t.

It does make me wary to see these as listed in C10 shape. They are custom figures after all, I am pretty sure that none of them qualify for C-10 even as they came out of our hands and were placed directly by Mike into the box.

It's nice to see the efforts appreciated, but anyone that tries to represent fan produced content as having the quality of factory produced content may be being a little misleading. We did our best, but we didn't have a factory.

Depends on how you look at it. It's C-10 relative to the condition it was in when it was received.

But there had to be some machine work involved right?  I mean the HATE wasn't done by hand right?

Second, wow.  Great work, I look at my HATE and could swear it was done using a machine.   JUDOS!!!  (better than Kudos).

Box - Factory Made
Foam Insert - Factory Made
Comic Book - Factory Made
Weapons - Factory Made
Stickers - Factory Made
Chroming of Tanks - Factory done.


Just sayin'.


And I wish Mark the best of luck in the sale of his con set. He purchased one just like everyone else and is free to do with it what he wants. I know the reason he's selling, so I personally hope it reaches the highest price yet for the set. ;-)
