Official UK sightings thread

Hi fellow UK fans!

I wanted to ask you all a question! What do you think would be a fare price for a Hordak Staction! When I bought him it cost me about £35.00 when he first came out. I know the value of certian Stactions have appreciated over the years, and I wanted to know if Hordak is one of them. I have seen him go for upwards of £45.00 before.

I have a new in box Hordak staction I wanted to put on eBay UK to raise some money for the org fund raiser. I would like to get at least what I paid for him in profit (after postage) to donate to the fundraiser, but more if possible. If his value has increased should I be asking for a higher starting price? Again the profit will not be coming to me, but to the org. Is £35.00 a fair starting price, or should I be asking for more?

Any advise appreciated Angel T

I guessed this would be the best place to reach UK fans.

Below is a link to a thread about a possible UK meet up, go ahead and post if your interested!

I ordered a Classic Colors He-Man from batsonstoys.com way back in June and have never received it. Have email them and got no reply. The money has not not come out my account but not had any email saying their out of stock or have cancelled my order etc. Would not use again.

Its been a long time since I had any sightings to post!

In Nostalgia and Comics in Birmingham, they had a few Rio Blast and Evil Lyn stactions for £3.99 each. I got myself an Evil Lyn as I passed on it when I got the wave, but I reckon the £3.99 was worth it for the Screech!

Wow £3.99 that's a great price.

I saw Wilkinson's had some of the DVDs in today for £3.99.

Also I see that Play.com no longer have the Skeletor bust listed and appear to have cancelled my order, they've not let me know its just no longer listed in my order history, looks like they've also cancelled my order for the he-man statue they miss-listed at twenty- something pound awhile back, but I think we all new that would never come through lol.

Hey guys and gals.

With the addition of the Social groups here on the forum, one thing we're going to make a push for is the use of them for groups like yours.

The social group once set up will allow for you to post threads inside of them specific to your club/group.

These areas are also "unmoderated"
I say that with quotes because the forum rules and guidelines still apply, but you take upon yourself to sort of self-moderate.
We will still come in and moderate, especially if something is reported. For example, we've seen a couple groups use their areas to criticize and attack other members, and that's not what they are there for.
But the social group would still be your little safe haven of sorts.

In time, what will will do is shut down group/club discussion threads in this forum and replace them with links to your social group.
That way new members can seek you out.
And you can also PM members who are in your area (as you can tell from their user profiles) to come and join your social group.

I know it may be a bummer to see long previously existing threads like this come to a close.
But I guarantee you'll find the social groups more to your liking, especially with the ability to have multiple on-going discussions rather than one thread where it's harder to keep track.

And yes, this is gonna be a post I cross-post to other group discussion threads.
So I apologize for the generic'ness of it.

Anyway, check out the Social group area today.
And I suggest the most prominent member of this thread be the one to setup the social group.
Discuss amongst yourselves who that person is.
Don't any one person jump in there and do it on a whim without talking to everyone else here first!
It's better to respect the existing members of the group and decide together how you want to get your own social group established.

Thanks!

I nominate Eamon to setup the social group (he's one of the few board members I've met in person) any seconds?

sounds like a good idea

If I set this up does that mean I get pints bought for me should we ever all meet up?

intended as a joke but scarily extremely true

Eamon sound like the best choice, he's a mod and just look at the number of posts he has. Pints for Pigboy if we ever meet up, which I would be up for by the way!
