haha... yea, I have been quiet on the boards in terms of acquisitions. I actually get one or a couple of toys every 2-3 days, but many of them are the newer releases so I didn't take the extra effort to photograph them until I have a bunch on the table.

I actually also acquired the entire United Wave 1 (and 2?) - about 10 figures in any case, but not photographed them. Also have Generations Grapple MISB (not the loose ones floating online), but not photographed either.

BTW, don't you guys think it strange the almost immediately on release, there are loose Grapples floating around online? I see so many loose ones in HK, in the same week as the boxed version is released - like there will be 5 loose ones in one shop alone selling for HK$120 when the boxed version is selling for HK$300 in the same shop.

"Why wouldnt the shop owner keep the darn things in the box and sell it for twice rather than open it up and sell it for half the price?"

Bugged me to hell. I got to the bottom of it and apparently the loose ones you see, especially so soon as to be almost hand in hand with the actual release, are pieces that have been stolen from the factory before they could be packed. That's all hearsay, but it does sound plausible.

So from my perspective, I won't buy these loose ones, which really, are all over HK. Don't want to support dodgy practices.
