Inconspicuous Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Hi everyone, As an avid fan of Lego, I search anywhere and everywhere for new sources to get those irresistible bricks. I was browsing around a city-wide garage sale, hoping to find anything Lego at all. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything However, one person recommended that I check Craig's List. I've been checking it daily ever since. I just barely missed a Red Beard Runner (missing a few pieces) for $45 But today, I noticed a new item that made me want to throw my UCS Y-Wing at the computer screen. Image deleted. Contained real life contact information. Isn't that horrible? They even spelled Plo Koon's name "Plo Klon"
Commander Flash Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Wow. They want money. Hopefully no one buys them.
Natman8000 Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 (edited) I think this would go better in the BSTF forum if you ask me. That really isn't so crazy, and I'd pay 20 admiral Acbar any day. Plo koon is worth about 15, so it really isnt the end of the world. EDIT: hold on a sec, are they trying to say that those figs are the star wars ones? What a jerk! Edited June 18, 2009 by Natman8000
Luke McAwesome Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 I find it terrible that they're selling these things claiming that they are "hard to find cuz they are in limited number". $20, really? I could get the Helicopter Transporter for the price of these two things.
Inconspicuous Posted June 18, 2009 Author Posted June 18, 2009 (edited) EDIT: hold on a sec, are they trying to say that those figs are the star wars ones? What a jerk! Yes, exactly. They are claiming that Squidman is Ackbar and the other guy from Space Police III (can't remember his name) is Plo Koon. Edited June 18, 2009 by Inconspicuous
Spyder Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 This is thievery! Look at that! They are trying to sell Sqidman as Adiral Ackbar and (crap, I forgot his name ) as Plo Koon! Even worse, people might actually buy them! He says they are "rare"! I am seriously really mad at this. I've heard of stuff like this on Ebay, but this is just criminal. It's such a shame, he's giving us Lego fans a bad name
Natman8000 Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Yes, exactly. They are claiming that Squidman is Ackbar and the other guy from Space Police III (can't remember his name) is Plo Koon. Then this may work both ways. Chances are, anyone who will be buying star wars figures will know what Plo Koon and admiral Ackbar look like. So either no one will ever buy from him, or some will be suckered into.
RoflWafls Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 (edited) Wow! A figure from a unreleased set for 20 bucks?!?! WOW! I'm so going to call him for a "quik sell". Also, whats up with "(los gatos)" at the end of the title? That translates to "The cats". Great! I get some "######RARE LEGO MINIFIGURES STAR WARS#######" and some cats! Could this be a better deal? <sarcasm> Let me be the first to say this about the Craig's List "deal". IT'S A TRAP! Ok, I got that lame joke out of the way. Edited June 18, 2009 by RoflWafls
Luke McAwesome Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 They are claiming that Squidman is Ackbar and the other guy from Space Police III (can't remember his name) is Plo Koon. They are trying to sell Sqidman as Adiral Ackbar and (I forgot his name ) as Plo Koon! His name is Kranxx.
Tinn-man Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 What's sad is that both Admiral Ackbar and Plo Koon actually have lego minifigures. Squidman doesn't even look like Ackbar.
Tyleraf Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 This is just absolute thievery! This dude needs to get a life. by the way RoflWafls Los Gatos is a city outside of San Francisco.
Bobskink Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 things like that happen al the time, check this Lando: http://cgi.benl.ebay.be/lego-star-wars-LAN...3%3A1|294%3A200
Oky Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Boooh! What a rip-off! I feel like calling up that number now and telling him what a jerk he is. Or even better: Pretend that I want to buy them, come to his house, and as soon as he opens the door, smack him in the face. things like that happen al the time, check this Lando:http://cgi.benl.ebay.be/lego-star-wars-LAN...3%3A1|294%3A200 That's not so bad. At least it's mostly the real Lando; the only thing that's wrong is the torso. PS: Isn't that a girl's torso? Lol, Lando's a cross-dresser.
Corvus Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Goes here, guys: Ebay Madness And that's funny- Does he honestly expect to get somebody on that?
RepublicForces Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 this are the possibilaty's A.he is just a dump cow B.rip off of the day C.he dousn't now the differance between space police III and star wars I go for: B
KimT Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Diddili-dum, you've had your fun! I think this poor fool has had his share of flaming on this now. Topic is closed and moved to the BSTF Forum.
