This looks like a really great figure. Some very nice accessories as well. The table with the tools and wires is pretty cool.

i'll be getting this but only because I'll be able to flex it.....no way would I drop $290 on this in one swift order....spread that baby out..
That's what I'm thinking about doing. Makes it about $60 per month for 4 months.

WOWSERS! What a collection!!!
However, do I see some duplicates in there too? Perhaps he buys doubles of some for display while keeping a second MIB? There are collectors that do that. If so, this is one expensive hobby for them!
Nope, he really takes pride in sealed collectibles.
Add him up in facebook. He's a really nice, albeit weird, guy. 
Meanwhile, in quite a few of those figures, batteries are spreading their acidy goodness all over the battery compartments.
Don't get me wrong, people can collect how they want to collect, but knowing that their figure is slowly turning to snot always makes me wonder.
You know I wish he would do an unboxing video of all those figures.
We can have an online shot game. We take a shot whenever he finds a melted figure in his perfect condition box.
We'd be drunk by the end of the video.

That's the beauty of MISB collecting. The box is never supposed to be opened, so you never know exactly what condition the figure is in. It's like a Schrodinger's cat, it's never supposed to be examined because doing so changes the nature of the thing itself.
Hot Toys should give us an option to get MISB with no batteries included. Imagine this lessen their cost, and also they might even charge more for fanatical collectors!

Some one should go in that guys house and open all his toys and set them up. LOL. Can you imagine the look on his face when he gets home?!

The ever-living feline...good comparison.
or just cut the cellotape on every box without opening it
Well now, that's just cruel!

Anyone heard of Alex Leong? The MISB completist..
I respect this man's decision to do this. It's his money.
But it would be nice to buy better furnitures too, once in a while. I'm surprised that there are good metal tables worth less than $100.

Perhaps he just likes wood furniture. Or his priority is toys as opposed to furniture. Or he doesn't care about furniture. Who knows... but I know he has a ton of money in toys right there.

what gave you that idea?
just kidding man.
i am guilty to a degree. i have 2 of reeve superman, jack sparrow and samurai pred. but i opened them all including the duplicates. i buy to keep or i dont buy at all.
just in my case, i guess, i will know that it's time for toy rehab if the house becomes a mess and i have 2 of each most $200 figures.
well that's just me. it's different for everyone.
and you are right, that's money on the floor right there. that's what i love about this hobby. our cash is not really gone but rather, converted into art pieces on the shelf that can be converted back into cash again if you need to. can't say that same thing about smokes, drugs and alcohol (that's what i tell myself so i can sleep properly)

Oh no I agree... in my opinion the dude is blowing his money but that is the beauty of an opinion... it's your own and who cares what others think? I have doubles but its for home and office (Superman, TFA Cap).

And people say a miniscule plastic table with a non-working lamp justifies a $275 price-tag.

we are not called FREAKS for nothing.

in the end, the money was saved. for masterpiece soundwave.
having said all that, im saving up for this tony stark. that lab table is fantastic! (those cute little wheels better roll, hot toys!)
