For real that sucks! I was there a year and a half ago! Picked up lots of stuff there figs have always been over priced but there vehicles were priced well! That sucks!

Vintage MCC complete $75, MISB Thunderbolt $35, MOC Purple Viper with Flight Pod $15, Vintage SMS Complete & mint for under $100. Feb this year VvV 2 packs are $15 to 20, 1982 Cobra Commander maybe C6 (not Mickey Mouuse) $89, most the loose 25th stuff is over $10, Vintage inventory is almost non-existant. __________________ "It ain't about how hard you hit, but how hard you can get hit, how much you can take and keep moving forward - thats how winning is done!"

I visit ACME comics regularly every month, and I will admit that if you shop hard enough on ebay you might be able to beat them, but that is anyone. I'm sorry Vader that your experience was bad, but I have been a customer of theirs for well over 5 years and have always had fair dealings, and have walked out with some really great bargains. It is on a rare occasion that I don't leave with Joes are vehicles when I visit. I am in fact heading there in a couple of days. Their stock is low on 25th items right now because they can't keep 'em in. They buy collections all the time, but no one is selling Joe stuff, and they admittedly are looking to buy large collections for resale. I have took my business to other comic stores, because of the distance it is from me, and found myself going back ACME because of how awesome it is. I am sorry your experience their was so awful, but I have never seen a 25th figure go for more than $6.99 out of package. If you were referring to in package items, they are aware of the value of the items they carry and most discontinued in package 25th single cards are ranged around the $10 price point. But it is hard to beat their prices for loose items.

These were some I picked up on my last visit!

I just got back from there! Got an ROC DragonHawk complete with WildBill for $11 a 25th Scarlett for $5.99, Vintage Cobra Rage complete for $11 and a Triple T (Broken Control Stick) for $7! I was going light this visit cause I had to pay for my Subscriptions. You should give 'em another try!
