Have you seen the guy on eBay with Flashback Series 3? Look up completed listings. He has sold 30+ complete sets for $500 each set. Doubt Race is missing an arm in a toy box. Or given as a Christmas present since he was one and done in October. But maybe that grandparent was walking the aisle in October and saw a guy in a crown and robe and deci....HAHAHAHAHAHA never mind that is too stupid to complete. I noticed these fb3 sets being sold from Canada a couple weeks ago...Tons of them. Whole sets. Sets minus Harley. Whole unopened cases. And just Harley. I sold off my Shawn Michaels baf parts because of it. Btw...are you shockwayne? Not shockwayne. I don't live in Arizona. Was lurking when he was here though. Miss those days. |

Does anyone think one could be put out on shelves at this point? Would it have to be a miracle? We might get another case of the recent E65-67 showing up a year late because I’m not convinced all of the stock of E72 got sent to stores. It was hit or miss and then we were bombarded with cases of E73 and to a lesser extent E74 |

They should have never scrapped the Battle Pack with Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan

I feel like this happens year. People are buying like crazy during the holidays, and these sets can literally be sold through in a matter of hours, and collectors will never see them. You have parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, etc out buying indiscriminately. I think some collectors grossly underestimate just how many Gorilla Monsoons, Buddy Murphys, and Harley Races ended up getting opened on Christmas morning and are currently sitting at the bottom of a toy box missing an arm.Have you seen the guy on eBay with Flashback Series 3?

After thinking about it at $500 a set hes really not making a killing. Break it down $500 minus $50 ebay fee, give or take $15-20 paypal fee, and its free shipping so if he ships to the US its atleast another $15-20. He basically gets $100 per fig. He makes more selling harleys alone. |

If there was really a ton of Harley Race figures there would be a flood of 3 per case Steve Austins. But there’s not. Because the set never made it to most stores

I was super lucky to find Gorilla. I noticed the first person to post one on the bay of evil was in my neck of the woods, weirdly. WEST west Texas, caught at the far end of two distribution hubs, this place has had awful distribution as far back as the mid 80's. There's about a dozen WMs in my area, but about half of them usually get hit hard by scalpers, so I decided to go to the out of the way ones, struck gold on my second try! They only had the one (and they WERE missing Buddy Murhpy, although I saw him at retail once or twice after that) and I never saw him again.
Crazy that his price jumped so quickly, but I know he was a must have for most Legends collectors. And I'm glad we got him this way, while he may be harder to find, he does have two distinct looks. Would've loved if the black jacket had the red spots painted on, that probably would've put him over budget. Maybe next time!
Bring on Blassie and Graham, RSC! Those'll be day one preorders for me.

The flood is coming: Something isn't right about that Not only these unopened cases are being sold every week. Full sets regularly go up for auction too. And sets minus Harley. And just Harley’s. All from the same seller liquidationguy or something like that |

BadGirlRyleigh I don't see how this is a good thing other than knowing more harley figures exist but at a 10x markup. Plus if he bought this whole lot in liquidation he probably paid a small fraction of the actual retail price. This is not some random person here and there selling a harley loose or finding 1 set at a walmart Canada store.

This is absolutely disgusting, period. |

Any idea how this guy has secured so many full cases of these? I have a really good idea what happened. They collected dust at a Walmart canada dc for a year plus and when they became available this dude found out about them he snatched them up in a liquidation sale. |
