Sponsor News: Excellent Condition Open Box Henkei at Agesthreeandup

[Me.Grimlock.King]

Wow that is just a waste of money when you can pick most of these figures up online or on ebay sealed for the same price. I would not waste my time or money on this.

Just to respond to some of the comments about pricing. Hm... can't help but feel bad seeing these sentiments. I bought this off of a private collector locally who kept these pieces in amazing condition and barely touched them. Boxes all kept, even card is still taped on and twist ties all nicely re-packaged.

So it really did mean a lot for him to be letting go of these good items. Our prices were based on what we gave him - which were determined by availability locally. These items are pretty scarce here and very few of these can even be found from a retailer locally. Even a search on ebay and a handful of other popular online retailers are hit and miss, you can checkout bbts or tfsource for example... can't most of the figures there either.

So really, I mean you can get anything for cheap if you got the time and can spend it sourcing and auctioning for these items. But some of these really are not easy to find in our opinion. So we paid for them reasonably to give our private collectors value and are selling them at a price accordingly.

Sorry if this doesn't fit into all pricing expectations and yes, if you wait around long enough and look for it... you can always find a deal... that's true for buying anything, but I think it may be callous to say that you can pick up these from any online store or ebay that easily... it will still take a little work and looking around.

And just to be clear... this is not a "Red Tag Sale" as someone suggested... this is somebody's unsealed collection. The red tag says open box on it... we wanted to make sure customers were well aware it's opened and not sealed as the box is in really good condition and can be mistaken for sealed.

Thanks,

Boris

Or Toys on Fire in Montreal: this doesn't really make one want to spend money at this shop...

not to be rude or anything, but i found a Henkei DARK JETFIRE SKYFIRE EXCLUSIVE C-06 online on ebay. here is one MISB for about $54, shipped. in fact there are 4 of them available. as of this comment posting

im not even interested in henkei figures and I found them quite easily. I only searched these 2 but im sure you can find more on ebay or even craigs list. the sad part is i love supporting canadian retailers. Im not saying A3U is screwing us collectors. What I am saying is that online businesess are extemely competitive and stores need to set their prices accordingly
