Destined never to have a Code 3 X-Wing...

Gee, I guess my $300 bid wasn't high enough...

I was watching this one too. Still can't believe it.

What was the original price for these treasures??

Signature version retailed for $495 from code 3

I think the regular was $295

Holy cow....that was one expensive auction!! Glad I don't collect code 3 products.

wow......that got out of control...

Maybe next time Dave...

Anybody want one for less than half that price?

$425 at Big Time Comics

Never bought from them but I would have bought it there before spending over $900 on eBay...

Thankfully, I already have a signature X-Wing, and on Tuesday my signature TIE will arrive to put next to it.

A couple of months ago I tried ordering from them and I'm not sure if they're an active site. Their order form doesn't work and I received no replies to my emails or phone calls. I also found out they used to have an ebay store and they had a lot of negative feedback.

Wow, Mike (Razor's Edge) had them about 6 months ago for around $300, glad I got one then! He had about 40 in-stock too!

Yup I remember that. I really wasn't interested in getting one of these until I got the Tie Fighter. I actually e-mailed him about a week ago looking for one. Long gone.

Thanks, Batty- Consider yourself warned, everybody!

It seems like these things were everywhere for a while, even the Signature series. Now they have certainly dried up. I guess a lot of people want one to go with their TIE Fighter.

(Funny thing is that the X-Wing is not my favorite Code 3 replica. I'd say it's tied for 3rd. But would I ever sell an X-Wing Fighter signed by Mark Hamill? Not any time soon...)

Oh and pardon me, it was $249 + $50 for the case; I DID get a deal!

I don't really want the signature edition, just the regular - the base will stay in the box just like all my other Code 3 bases. Those little black stands they use are ingenious and make for a much more economical footprint in the display Billy.

The nice thing however about the bases are that they match the GG statues.

Right there with you Dave. It seems that the only stock is in the EU. I've done extensive searches for this and can't find one anywhere in the states

If the regular is ok, I'll check around.

Not a bad idea, but I like to use the cases with these. They are definitely dust magnets.

I have them behind glass, so I don't need the cases. The bases are too wide for my shelves anyway.
