Congratulations mate, all the best with that. Nice purchase too!
I love the idea of a MG museum! I wanna visit! lol.
I have a clean police record, however, if I were you, I wouldn't let me anywhere near your collection regardless!

Congratulations in finding a new home VS. I'm looking forward and probably drool even more when you have set-up your "MUSEUM".
Back on the topic at hand...
Won this a couple of hours ago for
$1.75 with free shipping! NEW and SEALED!

Nice, the guy's probably going to end up taking a loss on it heh.
EDIT: I just found out the offer we placed on the home was approved, so now we just gotta go through all the financial hurdles. I should know in about a week if everything if fine.
The "museum" will be painted "MGS Sneaking Suit Blue"

Believe me man, I've never been this lucky with a Metal Gear auction in e-bay... But there's always a first...

^^^ So, you're the one who won that! I watched it too! Congratulations...
On another note.... NOT EXACTLY AN AUCTION WIN but a GOOD DEAL nonetheless...
Check this out...
Almost the same price as what TSi won at an auction in e-bay recently, (
$152.99), plus, shipping options for FREE which takes 4-10 business days, UPS ground for $11.+ or USPS Priority for $13+(US residents only unfortunately).
NOT BAD AT ALL!
http://www.animewild.com/product_info.p ... s_id=60628
I ordered myself one case...
I can't wait!
You guys better take advantage of this while they still have stocks available...

Sorry man... I just found out about it a few hours ago and just decided to order one...
I only hope to hit the JACKPOT and get me a VARIANT clear NINJA since I already have the full set including the clear Snake...

the way thats worded is that it sounds like they are open, and just 24 of them, which isn't any good for me since i want boxes that aren't open, and a chance to get chase figures.
tell us what they end up sending you.

I don't think that it's open, coz if it is, on a retailer's perspective, I'd rather sell this by piece, more profitable that way, especially if the case does have a variant...
One case does consists of 24 figures, so, nothing wrong with that.
But, let's see... I'll post when I get it... Wish me luck on a Clear Ninja!

i believe they MSRP at 8 a piece, thats 192 for 24. this is where i believe they are too far under MSRP to justify sealed blind boxes.
please do report in what you get, that's a good cut off.

This was a tough one. Thanks to Lady_Serpente for the link.
He's a German seller and sifting through his feedback he does NOT sell outside of Germany. My first couple emails went ignored, however, I can be quite a per$ua$ive person if you catch my drift.
This could quite possibly be my last purchase for a LONG time. I'm not stopping collecting (or selling my stuff), but I might have a huge financial burdern coming up. My wife and I found a new house we like, and we don't have time to sell ours before buying it as we're competing with other offers. So there's a good chance I might have to carry 2 mortgages until we sell our place.
One the plus side it's 2x the size of our current place so I'll be able to start the "Metal Gear Museum" which I will chronicle it's building on a thread here.
Of course, things could fall through you never know, but I foresee we'll be buying something in the near future.
wee at last i can be of some help too

nice catch indeed, i lol'ed about your per$ua$ive spelling
and dang, i must calm down and save some money too! now i'd just like to get a couple of things i'd reaaaally want before to enter a stand-by phase

i noticed lately i'm buying much more for reselling purposes than for my personal collection... need>money

I actually think its a sealed blind box, if not, its mostly sealed individual boxes...
but if they actually sold it opened, im sure we'll hear lance complain! so make sure u report back!!
oh man, the temptation to grab another box...

Not fully Kojima related, but I picked up a mint copy of Resident Evil 4 Special Edition for Gamecube and a mint copy of ZOE for $23.00 shipped from some guy on craigslist.
