About Me

My photo
No Fixed Abode, Home Counties, United Kingdom
I’m a 60-year-old Aspergic gardening CAD-Monkey. Sardonic, cynical and with the political leanings of a social reformer, I’m also a toy and model figure collector, particularly interested in the history of plastics and plastic toys. Other interests are history, current affairs, modern art, and architecture, gardening and natural history. I love plain chocolate, fireworks and trees, but I don’t hug them, I do hug kittens. I hate ignorance, when it can be avoided, so I hate the 'educational' establishment and pity the millions they’ve failed with teaching-to-test and rote 'learning' and I hate the short-sighted stupidity of the entire ruling/industrial elite, with their planet destroying fascism and added “buy-one-get-one-free”. Likewise, I also have no time for fools and little time for the false crap we're all supposed to pretend we haven't noticed, or the games we're supposed to play. I will 'bite the hand that feeds', to remind it why it feeds.

I guess since there's no listing fee it doesn't hurt to set the price ridiculously high.

Do what! I've heard of the 1/18 F-14 Tomcat (which has a box the size of a suitcase) going for $2000.00 where is this being mailed from-Fantasy Island?

It's a madness Steve! I wouldn't give 2k even, for ANY modern stuff, but then I don't! Like I don't shell-out 500 for resin tanks or 15/30-quid per figure for this plastic new production from Russia or 'Ukraine'! We are in the end of days when there's too much disposable wealth among the 'lower classes' he says pompously, but with a point behind the dig. The action-figure guys now pay-out more for repro-Mego's than for vintage . . . I just don't get it. You can get a good MPC Fireball XL5 set for less than 2k if you wait!

And if you check his listings, this is not the higher-end, several others were another grand or two!
