I didn't get a steal though, but I have seen boxes in the past go over $400.

I still can't go over the idea that a guy could get so much of those trading cards and not even have opened them up after all these years on top NOT BEING A COLLECTOR. Everytime I see an auction in Ebay about these trading cards, my butt swirls! Knowing that I want them so badly, but in the end not having them coz they're just too expensive for my wallet to bear...

And if anyone here would give up their trading card collection, I hope they give somebody a chance (like me) to get them (on an affordable terms)... :cry: :mrgreen:

Wow finally something cool on ebay. I think this is gonna go cheap. Doesn't look like it comes with boxes, and if you're gonna bid, ask the seller about the condition of Raiden's sword. MANY are broken.

Raiden usually closes at $300 on ebay, the thermal goggle soldier maybe $100-120 and the complete set about 120-150 but I don't think this will go very high. Damn I'd love another Raiden though.... :roll:

I won't be bidding, unless I see it under $200 with seconds to go. But there's no chance in hell of that. I think the NVG soldier is a really under-rated item as it's just as rare as the Raiden - well, in general. A Raiden with unbroken sword is quite rare indeed. mattbellamy's got one for sale.

I've never been denied. Let him know you're a serious buyer, will pay right away and have a paypal confirmed address.

If that doesn't work threaten to send an electric shock through the computer that'll fry him if he doesn't let you bid. That always works. :|

It's been suggested before, but I think it's even more applicable now the RSS feed has been implemented. Maybe we should keep this topic specifically for posts informing us of good deals. Maybe it'd be a good idea to keep discussion to an absolute minimum on this topic and if needs be, talk about the deals elsewhere where it could be more appropriate.

This would also make it all the more worthwhile if someone chooses to subscribe to this topic simply to be notified of great deals. We have to bear in mind that if anyone chooses to subscribe, at the moment, they'd only be getting discussion posted to their email. It can only be a good thing if we try to implement this rule as it would surely benefit the RSS and subscriptions to this topic as I'm sure it's probably the hottest thread here!

Just a thought! :)

i say a new thread is created for deal links and brief descriptions, while this one can be retitled to indicate discussions around good deals, etc.

Screw that, people would love to notifications of discussions between TSi and myself. Just wait until the Toronto Maple Leafs start bombing so I rag on him about that. It'll be everywhere.

I'd say Snake and Liquid are in the $50-75 range. Sniper and Meryl about $25.

Actually I've seen Liquid close as high as $100.

I don't have em because they just don't interest me. I mean...they're dolls. They lack detail and the faces just don't look right. I guess I won't just buy things I don't like even if they're Metal Gear. Plus the boxes are so big it'd cost so much to ship to me.

Well, it was a struggle getting what I have today. I can't even recall (or selectively forget about) how much I've already spent getting those. Correction of my previous reply... I only have 135 cards excluding the checklist cards (those dont count). And since I was able to acquire one box with that ebay seller with 18 boxes of sealed trading cards (that's 24 x 4 more) added to my collection. I REALLY HOPE AND PRAY THAT I HIT THE JACKPOT AND GET A LEOPARD, A FALCON, OR A FOX CARDS! OH WELL, SINCE I'M ALREADY HOPING HERE, I HOPE I GET A PAL CARD :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

If you're going to open them, you should document the event with a ton of pictures. Even a video.

I've seen sports cards packs that are new release and they're about $500 for 3 cards in the pack. Seriously. I think one time there were some Babe Ruth game-used jersey cards randomly distributed in packs and those were fetching record numbers.

Will you be doing the same thing VS? Or, since I know that you're a Sealed-Item O.C.
( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: ), will you not touch them and leave it as it is?

Mine will be kept sealed heh. I really wish I could've scored another box to open, but even if I had 10 of em you're right, I'm way too O.C. about sealed items I probably couldn't even open a single pack. I really want that PAL card though.

Wow! Talk of the devils:

http://www.hotukdeals.com/item/255281/m ... y-figures/

For anyone in the U.K. this is a great deal and how weird that it should crop up on UK Hot Deals just as we were talking about them. MG items NEVER... EVER crop up on there!

I'll be making a trip to Game tomorrow! :)

P.S. I know full well that this forum is primarily made up of people from across the Atlantic but I just couldn't pass telling everyone about this! lol.

IF ONLY IF SHIPPING WAS CHEAP =P
then I'd be able to grab them... that sucks.

wow... 2.50 per... so thats like 5$ usd, x 5 = 25$, + 40$ shipping? = 65$
vs
19.99$ per here... 20 x 5 = 100$ + tax = 113$

wow... thats 1/2 price.
