Thanks, but again...I'm optimistic it's a temporary setback. Peace, Chip

You mean FP little people sets? I have a ton of them my son wants me to sell..lots of people furniture and buildings..are they worth anything? taking up a good 8th of my basement.. Depends on condition and completeness, but yeah...there's a big following. Weebles, as well. Weebles rock. Peace, Chip

I also have my Tales of Suspense run, but that extends well into pre-hero and I'm not sure I want to do that. I might have to dip into that as it is, but I'm crossing my fingers first. It's all low-grade stuff, so I might have to sell everything! As long as I don't have to parcel out my Super Powers Brainiac collection it's all items I can replace in the future. I've had the one duplicate rarity from that collection on eBay for a few weeks at $1,600-2k, but there's been very little interest so far. Brainiac Cromalin Thanks for the support! Peace, Chip

Well, with the amount of cash I need I doubt I'd be able to get the extra amount in even 90 days, so a loan is out of the question. It'll be okay...I have to just roll with the punches. Peace, Chip

Thanks a lot. I wish there were other alternatives, but there aren't. It's okay, though...it's not like these are the only FF comics out there. Peace, Chip

Welp, it looks like I'm going backwards. Due to some unexpected events ($500+ in unexpected licensing fees from Real Estate plus the air conditioning unit in my condo blowing today), it looks like my Fantastic Four run I've been working on will have to be sacrificed. I wish I could avoid it, but it looks like it's a given since that's the only thing I have that can generate enough cash that quickly. Just venting here, since today is a sad day and I won't be able to post anything else of mine in this thread for a loooooooong time. Peace, Chip

Gah! Vintage FP and you let it get away??? That stuff is GOLD, man. I wish I had the cash to start a collection of that. Peace, Chip

Have you seen the preview pages? It's certainly shaping up to be. Peace, Chip

Oh, I get ya. I sold my Kellerman v1 long ago for a nice profit once I heard v2 was coming "eventually." Demartino's book will be a wonder to behold, for sure. Peace, Chip

In John Kellerman's defense, he's been very sick. As far as Demartino, it could be just the vastness of the project that is causing delays...kind-of a "collapsing on itself" scenario. Peace, Chip

I didn't say it wasn't coming out. You asked if it was *close* to coming out, and I said it wasn't (close to coming out). Sorry for the confusion. Peace, Chip

Sure. Here are the last few pages of the thread, but feel free to start at the top (it starts in 2010, I believe) : http://forum.rebelscum.com/t1051112-19/ Peace, Chip

It's not, unfortunately. Peace, Chip

Youse guys are lucky. Peace, Chip

They will just grade the loose figure. Peace, Chip

If the figure can be removed AFA won't grade it as a MOC figure. Peace, Chip

Awesome stuff! Is that Hedorah on the bottom right there? Peace, Chip

Here are some of the rare & foreign Secret Wars I used to have when I was into that line... Peace, Chip

Speaking of foreign releases, I need to find pics of my old Secret Wars collection and post them here. Peace, Chip

Do you have a Hungarian pig-nosed Yoda yet? Those go for stupid money. Peace, Chip

I want to see more of this room...it looks spectacular! Peace, Chip

What, no carded Ledy Fett? Slacker. Very very nice collection! Sadly, no Lili Ledy Brainiac was produced as the factory was shut down halfway through the 1st wave of Super Powers there. Peace, Chip

I'd abandon that quest, since any clear bubble ROTJ/POTF/Droids/Super Powers Series 3/etc. will all yellow eventually based on Kenner's change of the bubble manufacturing in 1982. They used some cheaper stuff, so it's all inevitable unfortunately. Peace, Chip

Thanks guys. Unfortunately I sold all that stuff because my current g/f at the time didn't like it at all. I'll never ever do THAT again. If some woman doesn't like my comics/toys, she can get the fridge OUT. Peace, Chip

Peace, Chip
