Introduction/Collection Post

Hi, I am Lapras. I have been collecting TOMY Monster Collection figurines for 4 years. I don't know how many figures I have in my collection, but I know I've had over 150, maybe as much as 300 (counting duplicates). EDIT: I found out I have over 200-210. Here is a very, very, very long, comprehensive list of my figures, containing when they were ( Read more... )

You do have a nice collection, but about the Auldey figures. I have been hearing that these have a 50% chance of being bootlegs even if you buy them in package. This happened to me with the Machop/Machamp 2 pack. My friend who knows about Tomys confirmed that they were bootlegs. If you want to play safe I can sell you a bunch of actual Tomy figures I have doubles of that you have the Auldeys of. I have a few of the non rares you're missing like Wartortle & Bellossom too.

F'real? It's a sad, sad world when you can't even trust NIB Pokemon products. I ordered a bunch of Auldeys a couple years back, but I confirmed that my Bulbasaur line is real, along with Charmander, Dragonite, Seel and Dewgong. Squirtle seems very questionable IMO, seeing as it's a very strange color and the paint seems kind of sloppy. I also got it for an incredibly low price (along with the other Auldeys I have) of like 2 dollars. I will post pictures when I have the time ( ... )

I don't trust that Smeargle seller. He sells a lot of bootlegs. If you need an actual Tomy Squirtle I have one if you want to buy it.

Wow, this is a really late reply, ain't it? (my account unvalidated itself)

Yeah, I'm not gonna buy that Smeargle. The paint job seems a little too shoddy in some areas and it's kind of out of my price range. I might just buy one from someone out here.

On another note, I am proud to report that I'm going to add more than 30 unique figures to my collection sometime soon. I wish I could take pictures, but I don't have a camera.

I was going to bid on a MIB Ninjask TOMY, but it got an incredible amount of bids and the price skyrocketed.

Speaking of incredible amounts of bids, I once set my sights on a Magcargo TOMY that had a 1 dollar starting price. I think it got something like 30 bids and ended up being well over 20 dollars.
