Robot Master Gigant Bomb Question

[abraxsis]

Been looking for robot masters Gigant Bomb on ebay and noone has it for under $35 before shipping. So what I'm wondering is why? Is it a rare figure? Also, is it scaled down like the other RM's or is it the same size as the original versions? Can't imagine why it's so much when none of the others I bought were that much, even the victory saber double set wasn't that expensive.

It's not scaled down (hence why it's a little more expensive) and it hasn't been a super easy to find figure either..

[abraxsis]

Ah, that explains it then. The original is quite hefty and it is kind of rare then too. No wonder it's so expensive.

 

Guess I'll have to be happy with the RID version I just got off of ebay for a penny. That's my best auction yet. A RID Dreadwind & Smokejumper, plus Skidz and that jet that came with it in the 2 pack, for a PENNY.

A penny? So that's 2 cents to you? Bargain! Bet postage from UK is a bit though?

lmao yea he will get charged $50 for the shiping & on the box it will only say, 6.50 for the shiping

 

These scamers are not stupid ya know...

What are you guys talking about? I'm in the US, the seller was in the US, so I paid one cent plus $4.50 for shipping. Got all four bots for $4.51, now that's the best deal I've ever gotten, anywhere.

So a cent can also be called a penny? Well why can't we call our pennies cents then?

He was referring to it as one Penny, which = 1 cent, as a quarter = 25 cents

 

it be practical to say 3 dollars and 74 pennies

[abraxsis]

Well we do say Penny, or pennies here in the US. Back when I was a lil kid, 1980 or so, in the bank my Mom used to do her banking in they had a penny bubble gum machine. So ever since then when something costs one cent, or I need one cent, like for sales tax, I say I need a penny.

 

And back to the seller, he did have other items that started out at a penny, or one cent, but they're all over with now. I did manage to win a tru reissue Hot Rod from him, but for $15 shipped.

O well, it was wasted, who needs half a cent @firedevil@

[GaZ]

I love the old terminology. Half penny was pronounced "ape-knee", then there was tupence, threpence, shillings, crowns, guinees.

 

Thank Primus for metric

That's the best recolour of this mold in my opinion anyway.

I actually like the RM colors 100% better than the RID colors. The RID colors are just too bland, plus the RM versions have nice paint apps, where the RID doesn't have any.

If I had the extra $60 I'd definately spring for the RM versions, but that's $60 I don't have at the moment unfortunately.
