Too bad I saw one the last time I didn't bid higher. I could've had it for $45. This time I bid $50.50 as my high, hoping to get it. I really can't afford to spend more than that til I get paid again anyway. But as you all know, I love windups and old video game figures, and this fits both (I even had this on my white whales in my wind up thread.). Needless to say, I didn't win. $76 +6 shipping is just too much right now...

Bummer Tim. I'm sure another will come around soon enough and you'll be able to snag it.

Hopefully. This is only the second one I've ever seen. They're pretty rare, hence the high price...

Well, at least I kind of made up on missing out on that, by winning this for the opening bid (I've only seen one of these once before, a different one, they look pretty cool):

It'll fit in well with all my carded vintage windups...

Hang in there, man. I was outbid on a carded G.I. Joe Freefall and a couple of BF2000 two-packs the other day. I know wind-ups such as these tend to be rarer but I'm sure you'll luck into another one soon enough.

The sad thing is it's the end of the month, so I'm short on money til the first. If I had just gotten paid, it would be a completely different story, I would've put a $100 max on it, it's just worth that much to me...

I'm also waiting a couple of days to order stuff so I won't get charged for the month of March. Some eBayers used to offer installment plans for buyers but I doubt any of that is still happening with all the new rules and regulations. Sorry you missed out on it, bro.
