Haha Aristocat, welcome to the dark side!
Did you get into these completely unrelated to this thread starting the same week? Or did we somehow have a part of it. :)

Duckman has the original price at $99 (http://www.wdccduckman.com/spgspotlightcollection.htm). I got mine for $26 shipped on ebay. The seller had it listed as a "Donald resin figure". I got the Admiral Donald the same way.Quote:

Also sometimes you can get good prices on ebay if the seller does not have the COA certificate or original box. I buy some this was since its more of a passion to collect a piece I want than a resale value thing
So, these are all resin then?
Thanks for the tips you guys!
I just literally won two auctions back to back. Susie the Blue Coupe for $35 and Mufasa & Simba for $55.
I don't know what they are made of actually. :???: That's just what the seller had it listed as.Quote:

It was a bizarre coincidence! I suppose great (or twisted) minds think alike!Quote:

He gave as an example the Skeleton Helmsman.Quote:

Thanks! I thought that was the case and that some pieces - like the ELP that Jeff has - were resinish due the their features and whatnot. I too thought it was a lot for non porcelain type figures! lolQuote:

I don't think I'm ever gonna buy one of these at original retail value. It's just too dang much. My mom told me she found Jack Jack for $25 and just had to get it. If I didn't want it, she would be happy to keep it.
I got Mr. Incredible for $75. What's interesting is that I don't see any ebay auctions for this one or the rest of the Incredibles! Why is that?
For $25? Where did she get it?
An antique store in Fullerton.Quote:
