Tri-Logo Madine

ChallengerFox · Dec 2, 2016

Will this be some kind of new record if it fetches the asking price I wonder ?

I'm pretty sure that is twice what it's worth but who knows

ScruffyLookingNH · Dec 2, 2016

Only ever heard bad things about DVT and he's now just trying to reinforce that he is indeed an exceedingly large penis.

Yes he's rare. Yes he's even rarer in that condition. But can we just remember, for one minute: it's a Madine. John Major with a beard. The ultimate grey man.

DVT has been assembling a line up of daft graded, rare and early MOCs. Very nice but, frankly, representing all that is most unattractive about this hobby: grading, greed and gotta-have-it-all-and-gotta-have-it-now (couldn't come up with a 3rd "g"

)

Good luck with that one. :lol:

poncho · Dec 2, 2016

nice grade though from a collectores POV. shame about the price

edd_jedi · Dec 2, 2016

I'd say triple what it's worth

Caswellbot · Dec 2, 2016

As alluded to many times, there's more out there than people might think at first. 30+ examples I'm sure

You've just won the award for one of my favorite posts of all time. Captures exactly what I think about DVT and his recent inventory.

Fairly sure that Joe and others have counted confirmed 25, but yes there are a lot of him out there. Madine has become a bit of a poster boy for high end collectibles even though he's not that uncommon. Gary pointed out there are far fewer of some of the Palitoy combinations but no ones seems to go mad over them.

Totally agree..

And Gallionic would suit as the third G :wink:

You look through some of his other stock lines and he has an incredible amount of toys.

He's probably got more vintage MOTU than eBay.

You guys aren't slating the "pedigree" are you? Just seeing that title made me cringe... No doubt about it though he gets hold of some amazing bits and is proof that bricks and mortar vintage shops can still work so fair play for that.

I know a lot of the guys on FB have had bad experiences with DVT after I posted a thread on the 12 back FB . However personally I have dealt with him several times and only ever had a good experience .

There are some items that are not too bad on pricing , compared to recent sales on certain items .

Unfortunately you don't see too many tri Madine's to compare too , however I still think it's a shite figure !!! :lol: :lol:

I'll second that. Very dull figure. Amongst my most undesirable in the line. Why on earth would you pay silly money for something you don't actually like just cos it's quite rare. That's not collecting.

Steve, as you probably get, just like any shadeball or scammer, DVT has more than a few good transactions. In fact, he probably has hundreds. But it's the multiple instances of scamming and shady behavior over the course of many years that have turned many away from them.

Are the odds good that someone will have a hiccup free transaction with them? Of course - otherwise they would be out of business. But should the community support someone and his business who has harmed many people over the course of many years? My opinion is that we shouldn't, and I personally wouldn't send them a red cent.

Agree Ross !! Lots of guys have had lots of bad experiences , defo keeping an eye out next time :shock: , I am glad I raised it . I wasn't aware of his bad dealings !!

For me this item is a case of 'The Emperors New Clothes'.

It's just so unremarkable. A really poor figure on a dull card. I get it's rare but $25000 rare? Even half that.

I have always felt the same about the Madine. Same with POTF Nikto, Gam Guard, AT-AT Driver. Not worth thousands of dollars IMO

Agree , never got into them !!!!

Cardbackkid · Dec 2, 2016

I agree that this figure isn't worth 25k or any toy in that fact in my opinion but do love how these stupidly common figures are ridiculously hard to find on certain cards
