I wonder if Jennifermew64 will ever post here again or that she(he?) just signed up just to make this one thread in a fultile attempt to troll this board.
Re: Sonic Adventure 2: Battle Joyride Studios figurine on eBay..
I don't think I've ever seen anyone registering after me and making more than one, two posts tops. That said, it's most likely a joke account.
The fact that prototypes fetch a more handsome price than finished versions of some types of products still baffles me to this day. I guess I was just never much of a collector.

Well, for video games, you can often see cut levels or content - that alone makes such a thing valuable.
Meanwhile, for toys, you get the same toy, but without paint...? How that could possibly be more valuable, I haven't a clue.

Obviously it's because you can paint it using any colors you want and have a model of your own Sonic fan-character!

Are you people truly this oblivious as to why prototype models of figures are more valuable than the thousands and thousands of standard figures sold in stores?
It's a collecting aspect, hence why these things are for COLLECTORS, god damn.

I know! I'll fill thousands of plastic vials with my own semen and put them up for sale. Then later, I'll sell empty vials, except only a few dozen.
I'll make millions~
EDIT: And then I'll auction a single, cracked vial, except it's signed byPeter Molyneux me

Because people don't want to buy unpainted ugly figures? That's what I always thought, anyways.Jennifermew64 wrote:Are you people truly this oblivious as to why prototype models of figures are more valuable than the thousands and thousands of standard figures sold in stores?

Oh boy! Oh boy! She/He sounds like one of those young, blindly optimistic Sonic fans that we haven't seen in awhile here. I hope she stays long enough to make another inane thread such as "Which Sonic character is your favorite?"
Oh I know it's rare. I'm just not impressed that this is what you are spending over $200 for.Jennifermew64 wrote:Are you people truly this oblivious as to why prototype models of figures are more valuable than the thousands and thousands of standard figures sold in stores?

Re: Sonic Adventure 2: Battle Joyride Studios figurine on eBay..
I'm finding it hard to believe that this item is real. Why would anyone package an unpainted prototype figure and call it a collector's item?

Re: Sonic Adventure 2: Battle Joyride Studios figurine on eBay..
Speaking of random eBay items, I find it rather annoying that a SNES with no cables goes for $30. Broken. To get a SNES that actually works, has cables and controllers, it's something like $50+... and even then, no games included, generally.
Still better than buying it new back in the day, I'm sure, but I was expecting a bit cheaper, given the prevalence of emulation.

Re: Sonic Adventure 2: Battle Joyride Studios figurine on eBay..
That was just a guesstimate. Resaurus figures are impossible to find in their original boxes, not to mention the much rarer Series 2 line, so I imagine it being pretty expensive.G.Silver wrote:Is it?

It's now damn near impossible to find and probably worth more than $100

You people have(had) unopened ReSaurus Sonic figures and you're questioning collecting value? :/

Re: Sonic Adventure 2: Battle Joyride Studios figurine on eBay..
Personally, id love to get my hands on a really, really butt-ugly Sonic rip-off toy much more than i would a valuable collectors item. Rip-offs based on franchises that i like are my passion, and searching for and purchasing the ugliest ones i can find is a hobby that's both fun and usually very, very cheap. My favorite ones so far are a Mario toy with green skin that is riding a car with a sticker on it that says "kids happy moment", and an indescribably repulsive Michaelangelo (the Ninja Turtle) toy that looks more like the aborted love child of said turtle and the elephant man... that has spent some time in a micro wave oven.

...okay, now you've got me curious. I'd like to see pictures of these two abortions of toy making.

Re: Sonic Adventure 2: Battle Joyride Studios figurine on eBay..
And id love to show them, but sadly i don't have a digital camera, nor a scanner. Id draw a picture of them in Paint, but i don't really know how to attach pictures from my own computer (as opposed to from the internet) to message board posts.Shadow Hog wrote:...okay, now you've got me curious.

What, ive just been to busy with more important things over the years to have found the time to acquire the knowledge about computers and other digital thingies that most other people posses these days. You know, important things like collecting rip-offs!

Honestly, how do you live with yourself, never taking your toys out of their packaging? For shame!
Re: Sonic Adventure 2: Battle Joyride Studios figurine on eBay..
This reminds me of the SA2 Shadow plush that reached 1000 dollars...maybe higher.
