Blood for the Baron!

I won the Black Hyena, first time I've seen the box so I had to splash the cash. I've already got the blueprints so that's another completed off the list! I'll sort some photos out for you Baron when it turns up. I didn't go for any of the German figures though. Anyway, that's me wiped out after the Con. Set, those Shads better be good!

Cheers

Jon

Well I never saw that coming Mr Mathieson!

You played that well. The messages wishing me 'good luck with the german mocs!' - Indeed.

Some Columbo I'd make.

Splashing the cash has moved you up the leagues. I'll have to keep a watch on you from now on as you are serious competition!

"You've taken your first step into a larger world."


Congrats on the wins Paul, they are some fine items and very much sort after. If you ever decided to sell.....

Thanks Paul.

I hadn't decided untill 11pm last night if I was going to go for them or not. It takes me ages to decided if I will do something or not! When I sent you the message I hadn't decided to go for them. So Hopefully GF472 won't mind too much........ Mind you I will probably re coup the cash before it's needed for the purpose it was intended!

Well I got three of the German dudes! The SATT Alder, Black MAjor and Condor also a Scarlet. I had raided the piggy bank for them. Bit out of character for me I usually am a bit more reserved with the old cash thing, but I just let my hair down and went for it!

I know that they are probably well over the odds but hey ho, you can't take it with you when you go! It just may now have to be a slightly cheaper ring when the time comes...

Dude! You hammered me! I was in for just over $100 each for the four we were talking about. So I wasn't even second highest bidder on the Alder. So who got the Pilot then?

Not sure who got the pilot. I know my brother was bidding as well(little bugger!!).

It was a hard decision to make. I have post it notes in front of the PC working out the exchange rate and stuff, plus I have worn out the carpet in the lobby (hall for all non Scottish readers) pacing up and down deciding what to do! I knew i had to be bold because I would be up against loads of heavy hitters (Especially Paul, Jon and yourself).

So the ring fund took a wee hit

No ideas who got them and sorry for helping to push the prices up.

I took the two cheaper ones as i guessed that there would be more competition for the big names and someone might forget a little about the spurhund and le baron.

At least i'm now on the german moc ladder.

Strange that i got the boxed hyena for almost the same price as those two german carded ones
Oh Steve should have my scanner soon (amazon willing) and will get you a copy of the stickers

DOH!!!!

I fear that these German MOC's may well be the next battle ground for we MOC collectors, taking up where series 1 left off!

Argos do some nice ones.....

Brother has just phoned! Opening words of the conversation "Jammy Bastard", the other words used aren't suitable for a family audience........

Cheers, but I know were that would be shoved if I went down that line..........

I'm not sure that you would be able to take it back under the '16 day money back guarantee' if it were lodged there though mate???
