Been following the thread of Echo and it seems this is all getting blown out of proportion.
Originally advertised as an auction on Tuesday 16th, then the date changed..
Originally looked to have 55 MOCs, but now looks like the shop only has less than a fifth of that...
Copied from the thread on Echo (after much debate):
"It was the 16th. Then moved to 27th.
All starting to seem strange. The shop has a perfectly good Facebook page where it seems to update every time it gets new stock but mentioned nothing when 10k of Star Wars figures crops up. I'd say Doug is innocent in all this.
My guess is the bed picture is the original owners (would explain why taken in a house, not shop) & the shop purchased 9 figures from the lot (as mentioned in their own Facebook page) then Chinese whispers got out if control regarding the other figures."
Looks like the lad that broke the news in good faith has been left holding the shitty end of the stick...
Toy Planet collectors Arbery Arcade has a FB page that might be worth checking if there is any update on what is actually going on before anyone takes the afternoon off work...
