No one bought more than 20. The most common order was 2, and the average was 4.

No ebay for me. I have something special in mind :thumb:

I'll echo the sentiment and say thanks once again, Greg. That's a pretty big task to undertake on our behalf.

Post by R Daneel »

I ordered a lot but can't imagine I would put any on eBay just to flip them. I feel like that would be taking advantage of too many people's good nature - Greg's and whoever at VEI allowed us to buy in this way. Maybe not though - not condemning anyone who does it.

As someone who has not dropped any coin on the variants at all (besides pullbox) I am more getting them for the infinite cool things to do with them! Mostly I wanna score some really great commissions but in all I suppose I bought too many.

Thanks a bunch Greg ... Can't wait to see all the cool ways people use these!

Wow...I knew in concept this was a pretty big task for Greg to undertake, but seeing that many boxes really lets it hit home!

Very, very cool of you to put in all this effort for your fellow valiant fans Greg! I doubt there are many people out there that would do this type of thing. :thumb:

:clap: :clap: Thank you again, Greg! I just got one making my effort to book ratio rather high compared to others who bought more, so I would just like to say again, THANK YOU!!

:lol: Yes, indeed...
I would agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

Most packages went out Saturday... international and a few more U.S. (those where I had address questions) went out this morning.

All U.S. packages should have received an email at whatever address you use with PayPal with the delivery confirmation and tracking number. :hope:
