Do you know how much it'll run on eBay? (Seeing as to how it's sold out on sideshowtoy.com ....)
Also, do you happen to own the Mark II? Just wondering whether it'll be worth buying even though
I have the Mark III.

In my opinion, Mark I seems to be the best value in terms of what you're getting,Originally Posted by JayPesoz

oh yeah, I've seen that happen maybe twice and I know quite a few people who's picked him up, so I just chalk those up as random cases. You should be fine. If you're still iffy, just buy it from a reputable dealer and they can exchange it for you if you have any problems. You plan on copping the Mk I too?
