American collector, now no longer collecting. He was selling off a lot of his stuff. I scored a short boot variant (loose) for very reasonable money. Hang on a minute, I'll see if I dig out his ebay id. Or you could try messaging him here on BFTB, but I don't think he's around any more. He might have one... or 6 spare.

Yeah, as Hop' says, an American chap who went nuts over

&

.
He's a nice bloke but drove prices through the roof with his crazy high bidding, @ one point, I simply gave up trying to find complete loose

(@ least on ebay) in fear of getting into a bidding war with him.
He seemed determined to buy up every single

&

he could, even if they weren't up for sale.
I mind posting a dio' picture once featuring my (one & only)

... I soon received a p.m. asking if I would be willing to sell it to him.

Can anyone remember that time he (Travis I think his name is?) posted up a video of his young son opening a rare

M.O.C. figure?
(Of course it may of been a custom re-card job)

He opened a night patrol?
Bloody idiot! Thats about 200 pounds to get. Phone 100-200 depending on the day.
So he probably wasted a thousand US dollars in opened figures
Those closed stay closed and can always get a nice loose version if needed
