Ha Luka, i am not so good with keeping track of the releases from circusposterus. even though i got their newsletter, those skelves seem to drop randomly throughout the year and some are so limited, that they are not even available online for the average toy collector. BUT it is usually other roto members like AMAVEVERA, who keep me updated on skelves specifically :)
so just stop by on roto daily or every couple of days and you will stay informed on toys in general ^_^
Vera, please promise me - and the 9 other wishers, that you will leave a note here if/when you see them for sale on Circus Posterus. You are our toy hunter, right?
good news, Silly: they are going on sale today (regular sale, not lottery style)- in less than 3 hours (2 pm PST). I hope you'll see this message in time :) best of luck!
I'm so jealous right now! :) It really pisses me off that there are already people flipping them on ebay. I'd have kept mine even if I needed food to eat.
Yeah, not really sure how true that bid is. I saw some posts on the CP board basically calling me a flipper and when I tried to defend my auction, I couldn't even log in. It kinda sucks that despite being a collector for 4+ years that people just jumped to that conclusion because I used eBay.
Hmm... that's not surprising. I think selling it through message boards would be the best way to keep from driving the price up. eBay is a price driving machine, at least in auction mode. Congrats to the future winner.
I hear ya Lukansia and I appreciate your feedback. The initial thought was that it would save us the hassle of dealing with numerous offers and let the best man win even if it sold for $90 to not hurt anybody's feelings. Now it ends up being an even bigger mess.
I love Rotocasted as it's a great place to shore up missing pieces for your collection. That's all I meant by my first post. Hopefully that doesn't get over analyized and taken out of context like everything else seemingly has.
dunny, the item in the ebay link is one of the 12 chases.
the chases have a brown mask. and they are similar to the image we see here, some might have seams, some might not. (here an article where it is mentioned, that they look SIMILAR - http://vinylgoddess.ca/2012/0... )
the other 88 skelves have cream/beige colored masks.
Got mine today) And it's chase one, with brown mask) But.. I'm thinking that real chase should have the white seam in the middle maybe?)) And we all have here regular edition?) In other case - there are too many chases per one community))) I want to take a photo of my Skelve and ask Kathie about it..)
i personally can not imagine, that they would put on regular versions brown masks, when those are supposed to have cream colored ones. it just does not make sense, that only a little white seam (which you can just hand paint yourself over it, which of course i would never do!!) would give away a chase.
and regarding to the amount of chases per one community. a lot of roto members tried to get the honey skelves when they were released. i think in general, that roto grapped a whole bunch of those very few online available skelves, which makes the chances of getting a chase higher for us :)
let us believe, we both were just very very lucky!

@AlPred: that's correct: 12 chase figures randomly inserted into edition of 100

Hey everybody, I just posted a chase on eBay as a favor for a friend who received his and wasn't really feelin' it.
I'm not trying to drive the price up or anything, just letting anybody who's looking to complete their collection know.

I'll pay $90 for it since you're not trying to drive up the price. :)

i personally can not imagine, that they would put on regular versions brown masks, when those are supposed to have cream colored ones. it just does not make sense, that only a little white seam (which you can just hand paint yourself over it, which of course i would never do!!) would give away a chase.
