    Is it worth keeping the boxes?

    Sorry Solidus... I think we are probably both in agreement with each other here, as it is the inner boxes (that is the display boxes) that are being sold on eBay from what I can see, not the empty cases (outers) which is what I meant. Also the ones selling are mostly vintage boxes, which...

    Is it worth keeping the boxes?

    There are two issues here: 1/ The outers, or case boxes that the figures come in. These are generally of poor quality and very little value as their primary job is to protect the figure inside. The only reason I would consider storing one of these is for the product/case/batch details etc on...

    Is it worth keeping the boxes?

    :-) Agreed...the inners are usually worth hanging onto, and like you say are often very cool

    Is it worth keeping the boxes?

    Hi VS1976, Sure, if your likely to need to ship them, when I had my shops I would save and re-use them all for sending out my mail order items etc, but we're talking about collecting aren't we? And if that's the case then you are unlikely to be reselling for some time. And generally the...

    How do you guys afford this hobby

    Your best option is probably to keep to the less limited item...there are plenty of excellent 6-inch figures you can pick up for less than $20...also talk with your local comic book store or where ever you get your figures from and offer to do some work @ the weekends in return for some products...

    Is it worth keeping the boxes?

    :-) Depends on what boxes you mean, the inner or outer boxes. If you mean the outer boxes/cases then probably not but if you really want to keep them just flat pack them. If they're the outers of an especially limited production then again, sure keep them. If we talking about the inner boxes...

    Original Darth Vader costume for sale by Christie's

    Hi, I would certainly think this would go for a lot more, after all look at the price the Babe Ruth McFarlane figure sold for, and the Bond 751 baseball... and I for one would much rather have this in my front room.

    Mcfarlane is at it again!

    Hi Darth, I agree with your sentiments to a point as it's highly unlikely the average collector will buy a full case, therefore it is more than like that these will fall into the hands of dealers and big account dealers at that. This is one of my main reasons against this trend. Maybe we'll...

    *Offcial* Hot Toys Wolverine

    Hi All, Between Star Trek, Wolverine, and T4 it looks like I'm going to have an expensive and busy summer. The T4 HT figures are looking great and I expect the Wolvie will be up to par with it. I'm hoping to see both Wolvie and Marcus as DX verions, that would really be the icing on the cake...

    Hot Toys Terminator Salvation: Marcus Wright

    Hi, Excellent pics and I'm soooo looking forward to seeing this movie and getting these figures. I agree with a few of the others here that Marcus Wright is going to be BIG and this figure is going to be HOT. Personally I would like to see it as a DX figure and I'm sure it would be more than...
