I've been trying to finish up my Universal Monster collection using Ebay since it's been "out of print" for years. It's those last pieces in the collection that are nearly impossible to get. I'm down to needing the last 3 from the major collection but sadly need nearly all of the accessory ones. Guess only the really hard core collectors kept purchasing long enough to have those for the kids to sell on ebay. It's too bad that they don't allow one to purchase the later pieces in the collection, it's an all or nothing thing. As for ebay one draw back is not all sellers sale the item with all pieces. Too many times the house is listed without it's figures or COA or even the foam box it was originally shipped in. One really has to know what's what on those collector pieces and ask questions before hitting the buy button.
I've been a little disappointed in the Bradford collection... very nice concepts but are they really that much better then the Lemax houses? Lemax can be had new for half the cost, even less with the right Michaels coupon. I have 2 Bradford houses mixed in my Lemax town, the casual eye really can't tell them apart.
