Just saw that. My gassed is dressed the same way.
Take a look at the sellers user id history. It may be someone from here that you could work out a deal with.

It sold already. Thats was fast Sad

. I asked him/her. Sucks but thats crazy high price, no?

Peeling is the worst. I think scum monkey had the best advice to prevent that.

The Bay is where I purchase my SQUADT's - well actually I am still waiting for my first 2! I do find that it is easy to just push Buy now without looking properly at whether the Squadt in question is actually one of the limited versions or a retail one.

I have yet to purchase one elsewhere - yet I am in the process of contacting another CAD member here.

Anyone have any tips on purchasing SQUADT's ?

Geescube Tue Jul 09, 2013 5:36 am

ebay sucks. when you buy on ebay you pay ebay prices. unfortunately, sometimes its the only way to get your hands on a desired piece.

Funny that im saying this but the best advice is to be patient. Ive been burned by not being patient, and still I cant even take my own advice HA!

Im a loser. Cool

Google "shopping" search. sometimes using this will lead you to weird independent sites that you never knew existed. These small webstores surprisingly carry some of the out of print squadts. I havent seen anything ultra rare, but I was able to pick up a brand new germ born wrong from a small website for 5 bucks above retail and that was shipped.

The price on that OG Copperhead is enticing. Also thinking about that S1 Germ. Midnight Jack is a dream though LOL

Oh look another Assembly Gassed.

I have a s1 Germ for sale if you're interested PJ!
Also wanted to mention there are a lot of goodies on the bay that just popped up!
I'm eyeing that SA Gassed but doubt I'll be able to afford it. Lookin' at that white Copperhead too! ahhhh!

EDIT: if you guys plan on bidding on the figure, lets keep each other informed? No need to go thru a bidding war w/ one another right?

Done and done.

Ahh man! The only SA Gassed I ever saw come up for sale didn't sell for as high as I expected... AND I was willing to pay more than what the auction close at!!! ahhhh!

Auction slipped my mind cus I got too caught up at work. Sad

Geescube Tue Jul 16, 2013 11:55 pm

Tell me abt it! I was watchin that auction but i had an offer from a boardie so i snagged it at a higher price. No bigs. You win some and u lose some! I honestly thought that the one on the bay would have gone for wayyy more! Glad i have mine though. Hope another CaDer got him!

Same happened to me when a fellow boardie posted Skelsuit Chipp and I didn't even see it up for grabs. Sad, sad day.

I'm a scuba diver and have lots of rubbery and faux leather like parts in my gear.
All of this has a tendency to break down over time (just like the outfits here)- sunlight makes it worse...
If you catch it before it becomes a problem, you can probably stop it by using the same solution I was taught to use
by my original instructor - food grade silicon lube.
Just rub it on (lightly). It keeps the material from drying out and flaking off.
I used it on my Hot Toys Copperhead outfits (which have a tendency to do the same thing)- they still look as good now as
when I first bought them
here is a link to see what I'm talking about:

Thats on the thread HERE

Best of luck with the peeling! Smile

CankleBreaker Wed Jul 17, 2013 9:27 am

Thanks for that Gatio. Too bad I didn't see this sooner to treat my Copperhead before handling it. It was in my hands for no more than 5 minutes and it started chipping, brand new figure too!
On a side note, lots of goodies popping up on the bay!

CankleBreaker Sat Jul 20, 2013 11:47 am

Ya those pieces went for great prices! I bet cus everyone is buys w/ SDCC no one has been watching eBay.

Scored me another NKD Jack and passed up on that GID Nozzel.

jandrolex8 Sat Jul 20, 2013 11:57 am

I was going to bid on both the lp & the Nkd but decided not to, I like to see when they go for low prices on eBay.

Actually I'm kicking myself right now, I decided that since I already have a bunch of stuff on preorder to hold off right now. Kinda need to save my dough at the moment. This way I don't miss out on any drops hahaha
