My Take:
This Flight Carded example sold for a bit more that I would have expected - lately I've seen them in the $600 range - however not only is this is an exceptional example condition-wise (condition is everything with a store-stock collectable toy) but this is also a Japanese-market example which are exceedingly rare (I own two, an MMM Flight Card from this same seller and a Moon Suit Card accessory pack). I like the extreme close-ups, especially of the corners - you know EXACTLY what you're getting with this well done ad. It's been a while since a Flight Card example has appeared on eBay so I'm not too surprised at the winning bid. There may be some increase in premium example sales as news of the Tom Hank's movie becomes more widely known.


Leadworks Major Matt Mason Clone Pair Mint On Cards!!

Description:
Leadworks MAJOR MATT MASON CLONES (2)

This auction is for two (2) figures, one in each color suit. These guys are Mint on Cards. They were part of the original shipments to the US I received in the heyday of the Leadwork's figures. I was the first person to get these in the US when they first appeared :D. I was going through some boxes in storage and found that I still had a couple. My find is your gain.

As we all know Mattel shut Leadwork's down almost as soon as knowledge of these figures hit our shores. Here is your chance to get a couple of genuine ‘contraband’ MMM figures, a fun item to have with the Major Matt Mason movie Starring Tom Hanks in the works


My Take:
From what I've seen this is about the going price for the carded LB figures - sometimes slightly more or slightly less but $50 each is average. The bagged figures (usually sold unbagged but with an original MMM accessory) sells for slightly less, depending on the accessory.

Not much going on so far for August.
