The 3A Thread

[gunm]

Im thinking valve wants team fortress action figures, but portal2 would work too as part of that license.

 

[dedguy]

are they not gonna follow up their 2000 AD line, i think we need more ABC robots.

Yeah they are, Ro-Jaws goes on sale on the 21st.

Portal is more well known to the general public, but i have the impression thats not important to 3A

I'd like an Atlas & P-Body set, Wheatley & Glados. I didn't care much for the game i preferred P1 but i loved the robot designs.

Some other company has the rights for Valve, can't think of it offhand though?

Dog from Half-Life 2 would be awesome.

"Fruits of this collaboration will be seen at SDCC 2012"

 

[dedguy]

Didn't notice that. I was expecting to have to wait ages to see anything. That's wicked.

 

[Biojex]

First MGS now Valve products

 

[DeadLeaves]

Dog from Half-Life 2 would be awesome.

I'm gonna get my hopes up and run with that one. A 3A "dog" would be too much fun.

I just got my Blind Cowboy and Ghost Horse set -from Ebay. I'm broke but damn happy I got this. Just started taking pics.

I love Portal, I would buy something if they made it from that game.

 

[dedguy]

If ya don't mind me asking, how much did ya pay? I ask because the Cowboy set I feel is one of the rare cases where, if I didn't already have it, I wouldn't feel bad paying more for it on the secondary market since it was so underpriced at retail.

 

[hunnipot85]

how much was the retail price?

 

[dedguy]

$290 ($246.50 3AA) including shipping. Which is worth noting as it was free worldwide shipping on a box that weighed over 20 lb. IIRC for me that 20 lb. box would have cost me around $65 to ship based on HKPost estimates.

Considering shipping and being 3AA, it ended up actually costing around $180.

 

[hunnipot85]

Oh wow, that's an awesome price. Wish I would have known about it when it was for sale.

 

[dedguy]

It sold out pretty quick since they could only afford to make a handful of them due to manufacturing schedules and the horse being resin. I think it falls into the category of "something Ash wanted for himself, but we might as well make a few to sell while we're making his even if we only break even on the sale".

 

[Sir Onesixth]

I paid $420.00 from a US Seller with free shipping, buying it from oversea's would have priced me out especially with shipping costs.

I wasn't aware that the super set was that rare. Great set indeed. Congratzzz Sir Onesixth!

Good old times: Kiba.

Thanks Alice ! The set really is a work of art !

 

[dedguy]

There are no exact numbers on how many BC and Horse sets where made as Ash doesn't like to encourage the secondary market too much, but word is "very small".

Sir Onesixth: I am very much against paying more than retail for anything, but as I said, the Super Set is a special case and I think if you got it for under $500 shipped you got your money's worth. It's the single most impressive purchase I have made so far in my collecting.

Thanks Alice ! The set really is a work of art !

Congrats Sir Onesixth, One of the best ThreeA Figures !
