X-men vs Sentinel Dio #1 Do they still exist...

Axel40 · 11-09-2009, 8:08 PM

...in the free world?

I'm looking for an X-Men vs Sentinel Dio #1.

I've made a wanted thread
http://www.avforums.com/forums/non-e...orama-1-a.html

You guys know of anywhere or more likely anyone in the UK wanting to part with it?

Long shot I know but if you don't ask you don't get

Your paying big bucks for this one mate as its one of the SSC Marvel Holy Grails - good luck in your search though it looks a fabulous piece

after reading your wanted add, if you can get one from the states and it's priced what you'd be willing to pay and also taking into account the import/vat duties that will likely be added when it arrives it may be best to go for that one because as your aware these things are very rare and would be even rarer in the UK..... would you believe I turned my nose up at it thinking it was too big and bulky looking when they were still at normal prices

ps is the one your eyeing up in the US the exclusive, with working lights, they'd probably add on a good few hundred for that..... anyway good luck with your search

I know, it's terrible isn't it. $350 or something when it was released and now it's..... pfffff.

It's my grail though and I would prefer this to a Doom PF (just) or a Hulk PF.

If it goes to crazy I would back out though, I'm mad but I'm not completely stupid

I think I saw someone's collection posted here and they had one. Whoever it was you're very lucky to own this, I'm sure you appreciate that though.
You guys that passed one up (Gam tut tut

) Do you ever look back and think ARGGGGHHH?

It's glorious, it really is.
Lights I'm not bothered about, just the piece, EX or not but I need it.

Sheer bloody madness I reckon.

It's Fremen who has one but I don't think he will sell it in a hurry over here you will be looking at over £1000 for it, I'd love one but couldn't justify that I'd rather have the Vader bust.

yep, but not so much on the sentinel for some reason, had more than ample time and very nearly on more than one occasion clicked on the spidey vs hulk, red/gold iron man and dr doom (including the exlusives) all at retail from sideshow as they never used to sell out anywhere near as quick as they do now but at the time I was looking more at film pieces as I wasn't that into comics and I also only had a couple of smallish cabinets and didn't think I'd have enough room....... but now collectibles have got me into comics and they've also now taken over my cinema room, so would of had plenty of room..... so ARGGGHHH!!!! would be an understatement

Drool,

Thanks guys.

I think I scored a different grail today already...

**EDIT**
Uploader,
Dammit, I already seen that one. Sassy does NOT ship to the UK for some reason, I already asked him.

That guy has some great pieces going though.

Yea, cheers mate. No worries.

I had that one spotted out for a bit and I was disappointed when he turned down my request to post here.
To him, it's still just a trip to the Post office, doesn't matter where it's going so I am a bit miffed

I do appreciate the effort though

Isn't it just an amazing piece. <<Statement not a question

Cheers for posting that pic btw Freero

spikecast · 13-09-2009, 9:06 PM

I really love this piece, shame I'll not be able to afford it probably ever! haha. I think what makes the piece so sought after is the fact that it's a cool pose but also the fact that SS have TOTALLY underused these two characters. A Cyclops PF with light up eyes would be amazing. I'm so glad they announced the gambit one too!

Axel40 · 14-09-2009, 7:24 AM

Well, the one I had my eye on in the US is a big NO.

The guy wanted $2100

Bit to rich for my blood I reckon.

Anyway, It's not all doom and gloom, I did manage to snag one of my 3 most wanted yesterday which should be here Wednesday
