Technically carded figures are figures that have a paper/cardboard back as can be seen in the earlier McFarlnae figures.

Nowadays, most companies tend to just have a card insert sealed in a plastic clamshell but it is still referred to as carded figures. The reason being, it won't deform as easily as cardboard and therefore easier to store.

It varies. If you buy a set, it will usually be RM50 for one 6" figure. As for 12", it used to be RM150 but currently it is around RM120.

lol, i work part time plus trade online to support my hobby.

Cheap models, as in Gundam model kits?

I think the same way as you do too. But some figures are super rare and expensive, so collectors will only display it in the box since they can't bring themselves to open it.

Some ppl do get kicks out of looking at them in mint condition or they simply have no place to display and is scared that it might turn yellowish (translucent figures) or collect dust.

I actually have a friend who absolutely has not opened one of his TF reissue from the first one till now (and believe me, it's C8 & above for each and every box). If he wants to open it, he'll buy an extra one like the recent Galvatron reissue. That's what I call rich.

But the worst lot of them all, has to be those scalpers.

Actually is cheap McFarlane models, anyway where to get cheap gundam model as well??

Wa, spend so much money on a model and u don't get to touch it.... wasted. The reason I get a model is so that i get to feel it and maybe play with it .

Anyway what's a scalpers?

anyone knows anywhere still selling the Dragon series two? went to one-U this morning...no luck...cant get complete set.

lol, cheap? Everywhere is more or less the same price. At most also the difference is RM5 for one figure if you buy in a set.

Gundams? Try DC.

Scalpers are people who buy figures (or any items for that matter) to make quick small profits or worse, to resell at greatly increased prices.

There's plenty in K.L and on eBay too.

hmmm hope ppl wont consider me as a scalpers lah since i am selling off my entire mcfarlane's collection and all of them are about 2-4 years old still MOC but the price i only make extra rm10-15 each from the original price back then

damn sad letting go everything very2 soon...

wow, honest guy. Anyway, y r u selling ur collection?

Just wondering, if they charge the models more than the shops, y would anyone want to buy from them?

well it's hard to catch up with the new series these days. married and with a daughter is not an easy task... everything is about $$$

since i missed lot of the latest series for the past 2 years so i just woke up 1 morning and told myself it's over... selling off everything. just wanna concentrate on my new xbox360 is enough already.

This is the only McFarlane action figure that I own. I don't even know why I bought it. Planning to get rid of it though ...

got two of these at home

hehehe i am still wishing i got the chance to buy all the tortured souls fiugres... damn cool... too bad during the series1 launching i was so broke... then series2 launching no more $$$ for toys... hehehe... because got family and daughter already.

hehe, of course not. You can make a profit depending on the popularity and the market price bro.

Hehe, becos it is hard to get.

If you're planning to get rid of it, do pm me then.

SWEETNESS!

opportunist!

it's quite a highly sought after figure... worth quite a bit in the market, so i suggest u just keep it
