Mine's bigger.
I know A LOT of people on this board knock eBay. I've been a eBayer since the early days (1999--my password is four characters!) and I've had some problems--in fact I never received the items in the first auction I ever won. But I had a really nice experience the past two weeks and I would like to share it with all you eBay naysayers.
Two weeks ago I picked up the famed Android Hunter Deckard figure. It's been on my 1/6 radar for a LOOONG time and their prices have been getting a little higher these days, so I finally bit the bullet and picked one up for $108 shipped. A little high, true, but I've been wanting the figure since I first saw it years ago (it's been around since at least 2001). And I as much I love the first 3 CRM Toys figures, I wasn't dropping $250+ on a crappier looking Deckard.
So I get the figure and he's a sweet as I knew he'd be. The outfit is designed really well and the gun is die-cast, which counts for something in my book. The first head they released it with is aweful, but typical for the time. The second head (called Version 3 for some reason, can anyone here tell me why?) is a much better likeness of Harrison Ford and the person I bought the figure from knew this because that's the head that came on the figure. But I notice a small scratch in the paint under the nose-nothing all that bad, but it was enough for me to wanna check to see if the seller had another head lying around. Sure enough the seller just had sold another Android Hunter...and for $71+S&H. So I quickly contacted him to see if he'd swap heads, since I paid $30 more for my Deckard.
He got back to me and did me on better. He said he'd send me the even nicer Frontline head, painted, and already attached to Dragon body FOR FREE! All I had to do was pay S&H! I was floored. I thought he'd at least want $20-$30 for it.
Just shows that there is kindness out there, even on evilbay. And now my Deckard kicks skin job ass!
