    This seems like it might be the best place to ask, I'm looking for a complete, boxed set of these figures. Please let me know if anyone has them for sale. Thanks.

    i got a set that is probably one of the last real new sets around. they are extremely fresh and minty.

    i might be willing to sell if the price is right.

    they are all brand new and not banged out. so you don't have to worry about heads snapping off, forearm issues or any of that silly shit. they have never been out of the clam shell.

    if you are serious shoot me a message and let me know. if not it's all good they can just go back into the tub. 20220616_135156.jpg

    Sounds like some people have too many kidneys to spare.

    Post what you guys are paying for these. Sold one extra set a while back and have one more that I may honestly sell off if they're going for a good amount.

    I think the last time I sold a set it was for like $225 I think. It's probably worth now especially with how seldom they come up. When I sold mine it was like a year ago. IF stuff can sell for crazy prices at times though. Like I sold my Night Assassin for $300.

    Dang, I saw the bump and got hopeful there was news of a reissue. Back to crossing my fingers.

    I think my last set went for $500. I wouldn't sell another for less.

    I found a set two months ago finally from China, but they sent it to the wrong address. Got my money back immediately, so I don't think it was a scam. Still looking, sigh.

    sounds exactly like a scam to me as in that's how most of those go.

    to me that was more of a bless than a curse. that box that was shipped to the wrong place probably had a pencil eraser and 3 stickers in it.

    count yourself lucky my friend

    Thanks. I go with ebay for that reason. I've never NOT gotten my money back when there's an issue.

    To be honest, if you really want the Ashura Knights set now your best bet is on this forum here, hopefully with a well known member with good feedbacks.

    I was able to snag a set myself last year at a fair price using this route by simply throwing the request out there.

    Yeah, I just have a limit of what I'm willing to pay for a set that is known for qc issues and was last sold on BBTS for $150.

    the only issues i have ever really seen were with slags head being snapped off back before people knew how it was kind of tricky. but since then we have learned a lot about IF figs and especially the early ones. a little bit of silicone oil goes along way.

    if i were in the market i would either be looking to buy a set that was either brand new in the box. so i could do the necessary lubrication stuff right out the gate. or hopefully find a member that is an IF pro that is selling a set that has done all that for you.

    yeah prices 6 years ago are one thing but sadly they do go up. over time available, condition and scarcity on the market dictate the current value. that is the just nature of the beast.

    Ehhhh, you're not looking at what the set realistically sells for. If it's complete and in good condition, you're likely going to pay $500 on the second hand market now. Possibly more.
