Massive Capcom Toy Collection on eBay

Link: Capcom Toy Collection on eBay

One of our contacts at Capcom alerted us to this crazy eBay auction, and we thought our readers would be interested in it.  It's a giant collection of Capcom action figures and toys, apparently quite exhaustive.  The seller is a former Capcom employee who displayed the items in his office for years.  The price tag is daunting, but it shouldn't be surprising to anyone who knows much about collecting these very valuable toys.  If you're one of those people with a basement full of gaming oddities and memorabilia, this auction is probably something you'll want to take seriously.  For the rest of us, it's fun to just look in amazement at how far some fans will go.

my frothing demand for this collection increases.
Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

I darn near messed myself seeing that collection.  That is freaking amazing.  Too bad he doesn't still have it all setup, I live in San Jose and might have wanted to come see it all.  Not that I can afford it, but would still be amazing to look at.
Pietriots, we roll out to get the lol out.

BTW, nobody bid on this.  I don't think that guy will be able to sell all of those as a set.

 it's because you probably press enter a couple times after you do a quote.  it automatically gives you a couple line breaks after the quote, so if you add your own, you can get a good 4 lines between the quote and your body.

just so you know, i didn't put any line breaks between the quote and the body of my paragraph, and look how it shows up.
