The "Incredible prices" topic

Wow!

Beautyful set , and I think that the price is not too silly, if you consider the price of each one separately + the box.

Fortuntely times have (almost) changed.
We still see the hunting sets from New-Ray and such, but I do not think they are popular in most of Europe.

Some Marx, 197€ on eBay 

I am surprised and disappointed to find that these wonderful toys were intended to serve as a target for a rifle shooting game.

It is not really a incredible price in my opinion. You have any pieces and it is rare

Some are broken but I agree, it isn't an incredible price but I couldn't resist 

YOU got them

No, I couldn’t resist to post the auction

I have most of them, only as reissued

50 euros for the three little pigeons from Bullyland !!!

Another one is 28 Euros !

Perhaps "the brands" should consider making some pigions ?

Wow, very impressive. I still have so many double Bullyland figures and other brands for sale.
I must have missed this great price trend - I will adjust my prices.
Many thanks Susanne, you have saved my next holiday trip!

but that is what they are asking for it, doesn't mean they will get that price.

Indeed, of course - I totally agree with you.

That is still quite pricey... I have made the jump in price for models but only when I decided that the model was irreplaceable for its rarity... i.e. my Papo white gorilla. Because at the end of the day... it is a piece of plastic.

Here are 2 highly overpriced K&M Audubon plush Wild Turkeys:

The original version for $88 USD (purchase price): HERE


The Audubon II version for $45 USD (starting auction price): THERE


For your information, the former sells for $16 in new condition here:

The latter is still in production and sells for as little as $11 from several sellers.

Two not exactly incredible prices but still interresting I guess.

Both Starlux

A rare WWF in box sold for 208€

A big batch with a lot of variation sold for 467€. The reasons why I say it isn't an incredible price ? There are one Scimitar oryx, two thylacines and two Echidnas in the pic

ITS true, interesting. What is the figure on the left Side between the cassowary and the roe deer and the White elephant?

The red hartebeest

My mole eagle eyes can not really see that on a smartphone. But it looks lighter

Maybe but it is the Red hartebeest

It's a high price, but I can see why such a box goes for a lot of money. The seller had another WWF Starlux box for sale too. I wanted to place a bid, mainly for the sable antelope, but the price quickly went too high.

That is a very pretty boxed set and what a very big and beautiful collection of nearly every figure?! Someone must have spent some time gathering all those beauties?

I can only see one thylacine but can't make out any echindnas. The photo is a bit blurry for me.
Is there a link to the auction?

No Sunny, it isn't a beautiful collection of nearly every figure, it is only a part of Starlux production with very interresting variations. Starlux had the biggest range of wild animal figurines in the world until Play Visions begins its production in the 1990's.

You are right there is only one thylacine I circled in black the Thylacine, the two Echidnas, the Scimitar oryx and the Red hartebeest. I also circled in red a cheetah whose brand I don't know and that too is super rare.

The auction is closed, Here is the link

But bronze figures are expensive

Yes but it is a fake

Funny that the seller's name is honestshop2012.
