Do any collectors (not dealers) buy collections like this? How many have 3/4M on hand, in the first place?

I was gonna get it, but I'm $14.56 short.  Can you spot me?

Not to mention the cost of getting the collection picked up. I could see someone who wanted to start a used toy shop or similar small business buying this, but the ordinary collector? Nah...

Hey, anyone with those kind of dollars can feel free to buy me out.  The only things I won't sell are my UMA Tee-shirts.

Whoa! I think someone discovered girls! And now wants to get married and buy a house. I'd be shocked if anyone on Earth has three quarters of a million dollars to buy action figures.

Too much Star Wars stuff. I'm probably the only person on this site that really hates Star Wars. Also the three-quarter million dollar price tag is a tad too high.

Funny, I had most of those figures as a kid, If I had just kept 'm MIB I would have 750 large right now.

I love Star Wars but I hate the fact that there is SO MUCH  merchandise of it. It's everywhere.

Back in '77, I started collecting SW stuff, but soon realized I would go broke and gave it up.

I'm sure the phrase "What was I thinking?" came up at some point in this guy's story.

I haven't taken too close a look, but I'm not seeing anything that makes me believe this is anywhere near worth $750,000!  :o

I will take the tank instead and use the rest of the money for fuel.
