Just to throw my 2 cents in, I'm gonna play Devil's Advocate (imagine Master Darque in a nice suit, lol) for Captain1stwhathisname.

The way I see it is, what all you hardened, crusty ol' forum regs seem to be forgetting is there is no arbitrary "worth" to any commodity, ESPECIALLY collectibles. I ...

See, I was a kid in the 80s, so I was never really big on the really small size Star Wars or GIJoe style (3 1/4" I think?). Nor was I into that huge cloth and plastic head/arms-whatever 70s look. My sweetspot is the 5"-8" range, where the original He-Man and TMNT landed. Factor in the ThunderCats ...

Eh, take away the history and signifigance that 40 yrs or more of backstory and certain defining artists/writers gives a title and essentially, you get Image's version of X-Men/JLA/Avengers/etc. I never thought it was that bad of a title, I enjoyed it for what it was.

Out of curiosity, is anyone going to be at Wizard World Atlanta in December? Or for that matter, DragonCon next week?

does a difference from a 9.4 to a 9.8 really warrant that much of a price difference? Checking around it seems that a good price for a 9.4 or so for Harbinger 1 is like, $20-25 give or take (using info from like, CBG or Overstreet), but I didn't find any for less than $75 citing a CGC rating of 9.4 ...

ok, this is getting annoying. i tried the applet just now in opera (my default), chrome, and IE. Every time is the same response: "Unable to connect to server".

rock tha hizzy- tanks.

EDIT: I just tried to connect with the jpilot applet again and got this msg this time...
"Connected to server, sending login information ...
Closing Link: 66.32.208.92 (*** Banned (cache))"

any ideas why that would pop up?

You and me both. Maybe not a complete set, but a good number of characters (all of the "founding" characters for sure- magnus, rai, eternal warrior, a&a, solar, x-o, etc., shadow man/darque/mirage, etc.).

Following a link of a pic of a custom X-O figure is what led me to this forum to begin with ...

Not to bump an older topic back to life that doesn't really warrant it, but I figured this info might be good for new members to see high in the thread list. Maybe I just didn't see it and didn't find it on a search, but I noticed the chat client is a jpilot applet. Is it connecting to a real IRC ...

Check out my HUGE list of Marvel, DC, and independants too for the same deal!

and pray tell, where is your list of your other books from other publishers (the marvel, dc & independents)? I'd like to take a look at some if they are still available...
