opinion required..

with the way prices are going at the minute i wouldnt be surprised if this was soon the standard price for red jackal.
red laser also seems to be going for big money lately.
i cant remember how much i paid for mine but it was no where near this much.
although if you want it and have the money...........

I just find because of price hikes it's cheaper to get an alternative figure and cutomise it or repaint it I had Destro in the 80's he was my favourite figure until some asshead bully of a neighbour took him off me and refused to give him back but since then I have 3 different ones

Who's the Shadowbandit? is this a codename for johnigoe73 that i didn't get the e-mail about?

For what it's worth I don't think this price is too crazy. A few years ago I sold off some of ms jackals and got £30+ for each of them. They attract quite a few bids from the USA if listed right, with him being a destro repaint.
They've actually become more common on eBay in the last few years than they were. Used to be one fir sale every few weeks, now there's usually one there.

Baron please dont tell me you were up all night making these garments just for johnigoe73

Ah, the links are probably dead now. Those are all items of underwear that Johnigoe73 won on ebay in the midst of his Red Shadow monopoly.

Haha i did check his history the other week and saw he had won some pink ear warmers, ver dodgy

Absolutely no-one got my Batman joke from that thread.
