    Fair warning to others who are thinking about bidding on any comics from this guy.

     

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/176383127000?itmmeta=01HY5Y9SGWZP7JCGFTKAMWPDJY&hash=item291140edd8:g:sPQAAOSwjQllNbVD&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAAwKGhJ15UQk5kNGbRI%2FlkjrfajEmMuFJg5I%2BT8lBvnqmIsPM93HghoctKPjT06v8h6jHbTk6qJj4Tcsy9AnJjWGeEPMQQT1OtG4GKlXcZG0tFpF7nWY%2BGSJpRfYFCOwiyXCP6IOY4PMZGM9A8BMG5Iv5xkLDcat%2FtcxGm3K3cjQkxuT61wyJV60H0nMACgXY4yUJsFhp5tksArjQWkS8ypgUbcmD%2FbBgUpeW%2BFBXagJ3KZdpiTpEu1lPLsQdAL8qt8g%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR8aYp77xYw

     

        1.     No prior comic sales, just things like seeds and arts and crafts
        2.    A buy it now link in the description that takes you to something that doesn't even seem like a legitimate ebay store, especially considering the http address.  Which is also illegal on Ebay by the way because it bypasses their checkout system.  
        3.    A collection that would NOT be in a pawn shop in BFE in a town in California I've never even heard of before.  Maybe that famous shop on tv in Las Vegas.  But even then that's iffy
        4.    I have seen these buy it now separately things before in other categories and they have all turned out to be fraudulent. (Rare Tiffany pieces like lamps, giant vintage cereal box collections etc).  They use the same buy it now fraudulent link kind of thing.
        5.    No consistency with his photos' backgrounds when there actually *are* backgrounds.
        6.    I know of a guy who has actually dealt with the person claiming to have these.  He thinks they only have the photos.   He used PayPal to buy a 4k comic off of him on a web site that was REALLY hard to find.  The guy cancelled the order and said (Even though we all know PayPal supplies this) the shipping address wasn't there.  Instead of asking the guy what it is he cancelled the whole order, then tried to take like 20% instead of giving him his whole refund back, saying those were fees he had to pay.  The buyer ended up having to go through the PayPal dispute and literally say the item hadn't arrived (A credit refund dispute did NOT work and he had to end up calling!) to get his remaining 20% back.

    Overall, I personally would not trust this seller.  I could be wrong and he could just have a collection of all collections in the middle of nowhere after selling nothing even remotely similar (Look at their feedback ratings of what they have sold) and just be really dumb because he keeps trying to break all the rules of selling.  But, for me, my spidey-sense is tingling big time.

    Hopefully I am wrong for the sake of those who are trying to bid.  That's all I can say...you've been warned.
     

    A couple of days ago this seller put up an ASM 300 9.8 for sale. I looked up the certification number and the book he was selling was not the book pictured on CGC.  I believe he removed the auction, someone probably called him on it.

    2023 I focused on different toy and company lines.  I was actually pretty happy with what came out and was surprised that a lot of characters I wanted came out along with some I never thought they would do.  It was like someone was listening lol.

    I was trying to make my dream team of modern for a shelf.  There is still a couple on my want list.  I tried to get a Master Chief from Halo and a specific one but it still sitting in my Amazon ordered list with an email saying they notify me when it becomes available.  I also wanted to get a Centurion but that was pretty exclusive set and I only wanted one only because I never had one as a child and wanted one.

    However, I got Soundwave with a couple of the new designed tapes that fit inside of him.  The all white Boba Fett prototype, Moon Knight with armor, Storm Shadow, Ninja Spawn and Scareglow.

    Something I never thought they would do was the Drizzt figure and was very happy when I saw that and added the Jumanji Panther to be his Cat.  I got the Super 7 Panthro in which the first one had a paint app issue on the harness in which I contacted Super 7 just to get a new harness and they sent me a whole new one that is pristine.  Their customer support was friendly and they went out of their way to help me.  I grabbed 7 of the retro TMNT which totally reminded me of my childhood.  I skipped on two of them but wish I grabbed them.

    Some oddball items I grabbed is the Rubik's cube which I had as a kid and now have the speed version.  I can solve it now but won't be breaking any speed records :P.  Also I grabbed one of the D&D Dicelings (green Dragon).  The Diceling is actually pretty impressive for what it is.

    Next is the The Legend of Drizzt Board game.  That has been a lot of fun and every other Thursday a friend and I play it.  I even went as far to make three dice towers for it and we about half way thru the campaign booklet.

    Bought a bunch of Hot Wheels for the hell of it since cheap and they just display nice.

    Finally the Macross (Robotech) YF-29 Alto version.  This model kit was so fun to make.  Took a bit but when done it displayed and looks pretty cool as part of my team up

     

    So for 2023 it was a pretty good year for modern pickups.

    My wish list right now that I would like to get.

    1. An individual centurion

    2. Voltron (they came out with one at one point but I could never find a retailer that had all the cats to put together to buy as a set.)

    3.  For the TMNT retro line by Playmate I wish they had done April O'Neil so that we could have had the original 8 so would like to see playmates release that.  

    4.  For them to release more of the Halo Master Chief by Jazwares toys that I have been waiting on my order list.

    5. A Classified 1988 Storm Shadow

    6.  Rerelease of the Ronin TMNT armoured version.  I missed this one and don't want to pay reseller prices.  Wanted him as part of my team line up.

    7. Lazerbeak or Buzzsaw for Soundwave 83

     

    That pretty much sums up everything for 2023 for me

     

    Not plastic Crack but I have started catching up on the Drizzt Forgotten realm books and on book 17 (The Hunters Trilogy (6th trilogy) and been buying them in their trilogy sets.  That will take me a bit because there is 7 more trilogies after this one lol but gives me something to do

     

    Here is the link for Neca Armored Ronin sold at Big Bad Toy Store.
