Why do you refuse to use ebay? I've gotten great stuff from it for pretty cheap. Also things that I wouldn't get anywhere else.

I don't know about Mike M, but I myself don't feel the need to buy something so "new" from someone just looking to make a quick buck. I use eBay for other things, things that are rare because of age, not because of some evil plot by the toy companies.

Soon as I get my shelf dusted, he comes out of the package and takes his place with Usagi! I shall NOT be pushing his lil button, however.

There could be lots of reasons for not using eBay (don't understand it, too much hassle to set up an account, don't want to give strangers my address, prefer to support local economy, might become addicted and spend too much money on eBay, heard stories of people who were burned/scam artist, don't want to use their credit card on-line or provide their bank account information, etc.) But I have to agree eBay and craiglist are the current biggest ways to get garage sales treasures without having to wake up early on Saturday and seek them out.

I got my UY and Gen figures last week(from eBay). This is old news for those of you who own Gen already, but isn't it rather insulting that Gen action button causes him <b>"to crumple in defeat!"</b> Gennosuke wouldn't stand for that. :wink:

Peace,

I think when you push the button he should say something, like "I know a short cut" :lol:

I thought Gen action button was lame! Usually only bad guys would get a button that makes them crumble in defeat. What the button should be is where he has his horn then press the button and it falls off lol!
