No, "Tanks" is a short for "Tanks for the Memories", I'm not referring to the Hate tank. I am always looking for that set. Can't get over the fact I lost it to ViperLord at the 2008 Joe Meet :lol:

Seems like at least 10% of the sets have hit ebay.

Obviously because the set is sub-standard. KIDDING!!!!
I would hazard a guess that the most sets were sold for financial reasons that couldn't be avoided.
Some later sets I think were sold because sellers started to see the pricing of sets sold and wanted to get in on the action.

Obviously to make huge amounts of cash that would probably go straight back into buying a massive amount of future product which in turn fuels Hasbro to constantly bombard us with ever more awesome stuff.
Me personally, if I waited in line that long I'd be keeping them around a long time.
Oh, looks like canprime beat me to it.... disregard my statement.

In all likelihood, the current market price ($500 or more) is too tempting for people to resist.
500 bucks is a lot of money for a $125 investment.

Try "adding to the description". I didn't use it in over a year but It should be there as an option if Ebay has not deleted this feature. If you tried that and it's not there, then in my books you did the best you could.

Add to Description is there - Click on Revise item, then scroll down under your listing - there's a spot for you to update it.
That's it Narceron, there's your definitive answer :wink:. You won't be able to change the previous content of the description that's for sure, but you can "add to description", meaning you can add a phrase or two that will immediatly follow your current description saying you were simply partying hard or something like that when you listed the item and a mistake slipped in the description and you wish to correct it ;D.

Sometimes when times are though and other priorities seem to weight more, it's natural to feel we have to make sacrifices. But maybe the fact that every other sale besides the con set's went well, means that you should keep it afterall until the right time comes. Enjoy it in the meatime, it is by far one of the best exclusive sets I've ever owned, and for this reason I plan to keep my #22 along with my permanent resident #22 SNOWBANK. You should get a sky Patrol vehicle if you don't have one and put it next to the HATE, they will both look awesome ;D.

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!!
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.

Then the same figures that you buy mint on card in stores don't qualify as C-10 neither as the figures are hand manipulated by workers several times before making their way into their packaging. I think there should be a line drawn between "played with" and "manipulated". I'm sure that the Canadian Con set items were just "manipulated", therefore deserving to preserve their C-10 status.
As for the figures, factory made or not, debate what you think, I believe it's pointless anyway, as that the majority of its process involved factory work, therefore it's not only factory-made because of this, but also "made in Canada" just for anyone's information.

I agree with all of this, and you did a great job with all of it - but I was thinking more of the figures. I just can't see a customized figure being considered c10.

I agree with all of this, and you did a great job with all of it - but I was thinking more of the figures. I just can't see a customized figure being considered c10.
Agreed. It's like a baseball card with autograph on it. The autograph ruins the condition of the card.

As a card, but it opens it up to a whole new market as a collectible.

Agreed. Look at Realboss's recent Rowdy Roddy Piper auction. It sold for over $300 and it was autographed by Roddy himself. Where the previous few auctions of that figure never made it to $300. An autograph, especially from someone well loved, or rarely signed usually only increases the value of an item.
