Secret Army Builders

[SteveD]

Seeing single Red Shads going on Ebay for in excess of a fiver with no weapons and Cobra Troopers going for up to Tenner I'm guessing theres a bit of army building going on out there? Swelling the ranks a bit?

I have 40 Shads now, and I have for about a year or so now. I haven't been searching, and I believe 40 is enough for me

Not counting carded figures my army consists of around 30 Red Shadows, 5 Red Lasers, 2 Red Wolves, 1 Major and 1 Baron. All of them 100% complete.

Neither Krakens, nor Skeletrons as they are bollocks.

um... 72!

But I haven't bought any this year, prices have gone mental.

I been watching a few things / Customs . prices on AF stuff since we started the whole coloring project thing and I cant help but think all the activity on this site the last 2 years has really had a big part in the increase in prices

Im bias though and could be just seeing things I want to see

It's possible. In 2001 I went on a Battle comic ebay binge, spent a fortune and bought about 500 issues + rare Summer Specials and Annuals, I bid like a lunatic and swapped spares with other buyers, and completed the set in under six months. I was an ebay noob though and would have got them far cheaper these days by sniping.

But for about a year afterwards Battle comics went sky-high, I don't know if the buzz got about that they were selling for high prices or what but it definitely coincided. Obviously I stopped watching them to see if the price ever fell again.

It could also be down to the Devil's Due comics - I have no idea what their readership was but it was probably larger than BFTB.

Ask/blame thedupleman, he's the ebay overlord!

..........!

The Devils Due stuff definately had a hand in things, heck its the real reason Im here

I've got about ten Shads now. I've kinda given up bidding on them because of all of the above reasons. Way too expensive, even when you trry to snipe on them!
