Title: WANTED! TRU COLOR WOLF MAN, MUMMY, CREATURE Diamond Select
Post by: Dr. Blasko on June 30, 2012, 11:26:09 PM
Hi, I am collecting the Diamond Select figures, and while I have all of the second wave, I do not have any from the first. The Mummy and Creature are not high priority (easy to find online), but the color Wolf Man is. I would be more than willing to negotiate a price or even a trade (I have a MOC Movie Maniacs Leatherface blood splatter variant and a Macfarlane Monsters Phantom of the Opera playset in the box, with one spot on it)

I'm also looking for all the Retro figures, minus Dracula.

I think some of the other retro figures are on the TRU site too!

Thanks, but I'm hoping to get them from members for a better price. They're actually cheaper on eBay (you can BIN the mummy for only 11!)

I wish I could find a BIN Frank or Wolfie for that cheap lol. 
Once I get caught up on previous waves, I think I might try to pre-order all the figures for this season so I don't have to fart around and hunt for them.

My TRU has been good about having the current lines, so hopefully they'll have Wave 3 when it hits. Only problem is how far the TRU is. We had one nearby, but it moved to way out of the way.

It literally popped up right before I logged on. Its why I always look under newly listed. After seeing you were looking for it I looked for another, but he only posted one (though he posted two $11 mummies)

While getting those figures on the cheap off of ebay might be a reason to rejoice for the moment....it's not a very good sign for the line's future waves. Because that's cheaper than wholesale. So, someone won't be carrying future waves....or might be outta business soon, as those are liquidation prices. As orders for wave 4 wane, or 5 wane, then the idea of producing more waves becomes bleak. :'(. I hate to sound gloomy....but when someone sells something at a loss----it's never a good sign. :-\

He actually got lucky to find that one, and at that price.  I think the seller maybe didn't realize the value.  I usually watch Ebay pretty closely and the Frankie Figures usually go for about $20.00

I bought it from a private collector, not a store.

The CHEAPEST Frankie I found before that was for almost $40, twice the MSRP. I got lucky finding it for this price. I wouldn't worry.
