    Just because the Republic Bricks Twilight is "valued at $270 retail," doesn't actually mean its market value is anywhere near that asking price. I'm not surprised that it only sold for $99 - that's what happens when you go to sell originally grossly-overpriced products on a second hand site!

    The beginning bit about just buying the figure you want can be extended to the recent drama of CMF series.
    If you want a figure, now that we cant feel for them with the boxes (it is meant to be a mystery item after all), go buy that figure!

    I am St3pL1ghtly. Can confirm, great deal on the prototype figures and I stand by what I said in the stream. It was a decent gamble overall, since MandR managed to almost make all of his money back (disregarding taxes and fees) while holding onto the banner. A higher price on the Twilight would have simply made it actually profitable rather than even. Well played and thanks for the figures!

    • @gbrow1604
      @gbrow1604 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      As much as the prices suck, they are kind of justififed. Buying pieces on bricklink is super expensive especially when you consider shipping prices. On top of that, a lot of time goes into manually sorting the parts and stuff. For them to be profitable they can't be anywhere close to normal Lego prices.

A few things were wrong, like the face was just a clone face from the mid-late 2010’s, even tho it’s supposed to be a different face. The back pack also came different, some pieces that were supposed to be there were, most weren’t, and there were some that even weren’t supposed to be there.
