GI JOE Figures and Vehicles for Sale + Star Wars, Metal Gear Solid + Transformers

[FireflyBCK]

This is pretty disorganised, but I am selling my GI Joe collection.

I am still working out what I have from my storage boxes and what condition they are in.

I'll be selling a sample of them at the Parramatta Collector's Fair (Parramatta Town Hall) on Sunday 18th August.

I will start with the sale and then open it up to the web.

The collection is a mix of figures/vehicles from the 80's/90's and the early 2000's figures.
All items are in a various condition from broken/incomplete to good/complete.
Most figures have file cards or cardbacks. Many vehicles have instructions and/or the original box.

The photos show the bulk of the collection, but are missing some vehicles which are in another box and as you see, I have little room left.
This includes:
Conquest X30 - 1986
Skystriker - 1984
Night Raven - 1986
Crusader shuttle - 1989
Hurricane - 1991
Shark 3000 - 1992
Brawler - 1991
Phantom X-19 - Gi Joe Action Force 1990
Rolling Thunder - 1988

If you're in Sydney, see you at the fair. Otherwise, if you're after anything, or spot something in the photo, let me know

I even see a few Star Wars items there too. If you could look through your box of figures, I usually buy any female characters I don't already have. Isaw a box for Star brigade there too. Do you have any other space themed items (got the shuttle already)

[liegeprime]

Wow, Where are you gonna be positioned in the Fair?

Out of the pic Im interested to know your asking price of the following...

Destro's Dominator tank,
Cobra Stun,
Hiss tank and the
Cobra Moray
Cobra Rattler

and are these complete?

... as you can see Im more of a nut for the enemy hehehe:D

O-Ring Joes for sale? Well, you've come to the right place. Is it possible to have a list of all the figures/cards/vehicles between 1989 and 1994? As that's the era I'm currently working on, chances are I'll grab quite a few from there.

On a side-note, is that the 1992 Headquarters?

[FireflyBCK]

I'll come back with prices. Been frantically busy dusting and cataloging them.

That's a 2001 remake of the '92 HQ
I have original '92 HQ too MISB. It's up for sale too.

[iamirondude]

i wish i had some spare cash right now.

[ChlorHex]

Interested in Rolling Thunder, the HQ set, Night Raven and any other larger vehicles/playsets.
Could you please email me... dat70sdude@yahoo.com
Thanks mate.

Thanks. You have officially sold me on the original 1992 Headquarters set. Good luck getting that list ready before the Fair.

Hey mate, I would be interested in any complete or near complete vintage star wars vehicles.

[DarkSithLord]

Hi there. I would be interested in any vintage star wars pieces. Please send some pics to henton--liam1942@hotmail.co.uk

I am new here but have a strong rep on Star wars boards

Pricing a few vehicles and figures

I probably won't be selling post 2000 figures, because unlike the old stuff, there's nothing memorable to the accessories.
I can remember which gun belonged to which figure etc, but from 2000 onwards, it's quite generic.

All the vehicles are out, but as you can see, the planes are naked. I have to sort out wings/bombs.

Another problem I have is that I separated black hoses from most figures for two reasons:
1 - I hate them and never planned to display most figures with them
2 - Collectors can buy it by the meter online.

I would like to gauge how important it is to you all.

FireflyBCK, that looks like one heck of a mammoth task, and I commend you for trying to keep everything as complete as possible. Honestly, I don't envy how time-consuming it must be to catalogue every minute vehicle, figure, and weapon.

As far as post-2000 is concerned, the weapons are indeed mostly generic black/grey repaints of preexisting sets, though I do admit most of the figures do make for great custom fodder.

On a side-note, I was curious if you had the Fort America set, though I didn't see one in your photos, so no harm done. Plus if the Shark 9000 boat is the Drug Elimination Force or Battle Corps version. Aside from the odd sticker change, they're virtualy identical.

[FireflyBCK]

I think it's the Battle Corps Shark 9000.
I don't have Fort America.

Ah. Alright, thanks for checking. If you have the Cutter figure that came with the Shark 9000, I must express interest. That along with the Badger, Locust, possibly Brawler and definitely the '92 Headquarters.

[iamirondude]

how much have you got on your mobile command centre and your R.O.C.C vehicle? and can i send you list of what i need and can i get prices for them? thanks

[spiderken17]

Hey mate, can you email me at spiderken17@yahoo.com.au about the star wars items.
Cheers, Ken

[liegeprime]

well black hoses are not so much an issue for me as Im after vehicles :P...Cobra Vehicles in particular.:D

[FireflyBCK]

Here's a starter list.

http://www.digitalnewsblast.com/images/gijoev1.xlsx

I have had to hold off some vehicles because I need to catalogue some more figures and some vehicles are not sellable because they are incomplete or broken. I may hunt for parts to complete them.

I am withdrawing the Night Ops Hummer, because I forgot how good it is in terms of detail. I plan to get a core group of 25th anniversary and later figures for a small display and get rid of the rest.

Thanks for your patience.

[FireflyBCK]

Crap, I forgot it's case sensitive

As for Star Wars and other stuff, my brother will be bringing some Star Wars.

Mine are loose
POTF - Tie Fighter, Interceptor, A-Wing (Front nose bent), Slave 1, AT ST
Vintage - Darth Vader Tie Fighter, Y Wing (missing bomb)
Some small collectable vehicles with mini magazines.

Transformers - I'm shuddering at what's still salvageable from a Metroplex box. It includes - Metroplex, Rodimus Prime, Thundercracker, Dirge, a few constructicons, Technobots, other minis, a couple of constructicons.

MGS 1 and 2 All MOC - various figures. I sold some on Ebay

[Paul Agnew]

GI Joe Headquarters=400

Alright, I have to come clean and admit that your asking price is (and I hope you don't take this the wrong way) pretty steep, considering I can pick up the same thing in the same condition on places such as ebay for half the price shipped. Not that I don't want it, but that's quite high.

[The_Damned]

how much on the potf tie fighter and atst?

interest on technobots

[FireflyBCK]

No you're right.

My general rule was to look at Ebay and take the US price plus shipping and undercut it or go a little up and down based on the completion/box/instructions/driver etc

In most cases, I believe I have matched or undercut Ebay. Many auctions have really high shipping, but a tiny sale price.
I was always going to price the HQ a little higher, but I failed to notice that US auction with free shipping.

But for now the best I'll do is $275. The item has a slight sentimental value, it was the first thing I bought on Ebay in 2000.

I will post an updated price list with more figures on it.
I managed to find some hoses to complete some of the more irritating figures.

[liegeprime]

I think I got a good buy from what I saw at the fair. though I wish I made a list coz you didn't have them all on display and missed buying on the Cobra Claws and Moray - You needed a bigger table really heheheh. Was tempted to get the other Hiss Tank too but budget constraints won :p. Hopefully next fair you still have a couple of goodies for us. Well Cobra stuff that is for me...

[jazzcomp]

I didn't see the technobots

[liegeprime]

I didn't see the technobots

There was only Strafe in their table, but Gok picked it up when I was there buying something jazzcomp. I was hoping for Scattorshot myself.:)

:( missed it. Completely forgot about those since he didn't reply to my post here.

Sorry, I didn't get back to you all on individual details. I was frantically grouping, boxing and pricing all week and kept going until late Saturday.

I way underestimated the amount of stuff I had versus the table size. Plus the other experienced sellers muscled in on my real estate.

I will post an updated list, but it's going to be slower because I'm trying to get rid of some other non collectible stuff.

Not sure about the next fair. My brother won't be available to help. He had a Rav 4. I only have a Mazda 3 sedan. If I did, I'd probably skip the big stuff.

The Moray has some broken guns. I intend to fix that one up before selling.
Same with the Whale.

I didn't sell the Rattler because it was missing a missile and the damage panels. I found them this week.

[liegeprime]

Yeah we didn't get to see all your stuff while at the fair , the table is indeed smaller than you expected ahah. Oh well , take your time and catalogue all the remaining stuff. Just update us here on the thread with more details on the remaining up for sale items - name - corresponding clear pic - a few details (e.g. missing piece, etc) and price format would be good. Cheers!

I was pleased with the ones I got from you at the fair, kinda wished I should've gotten the other HISS tank and Stun, but my budget at that time was limited.
