I know this topic has been done to death , but has any news surfaced regarding deluxe slithe ??
I was lucky enough to buy one ages ago when they first surfaced on ebay at a relatively cheap price and have kept it mint in sealed box with the rest of my collection ....
But now I have every single thundercats 2011/2012 figure moc apart from metal arms panthro I am kinda feeling at a dead end with it all due to the end of the show and the toy line ..... I'm Getting tempted to sell up everything and just concentrate on classics thundercats and transformers masterpieces ....
But it would be a shame after all the effort I put in to getting them all lol

So anyways .... I guess I'm just curious about the status of slithe in the USA .... Has he started showing up or is this guy gonna become my treasure item and retirement fund for the future lol

This figure shows up on ebay every now and then, but at high prices. There are currently only two on ebay right now, one for $79.99 + $10.85 shipping and the other for $57.99 + $15.13 shipping. It's still the rarest from the bandai 2011 CN series.

One had just appeared on eBay.co.uk as an auction but I spoke to the seller and agreed a £40 buy it now and I'm so happy with this

This will be like a liono thunder wings in years to come!

The value will be in the £100's in a few years

I've sold a couple loose and have one for my own collection, no accessories though. Been keeping an eye on the prices as they pop up and they are pretty steep.

I highly doubt that there will be a situation where this figure will be as sought after as the rare vintage ones are now. It's a rare figure, but the new series won't have the nostalgia factor driving their prices like the old series does.

New to toy collecting are we?

LiarDice Films

I agree. This toy may have some what of a rarity right now but that will soon disapear into the ether the same as the new cartoon series.
The reason the LJN vintage line is so popular is due to the emmense nostalgia the original show has on people.
To pay £40 for a figure that only came out a year ago is a bit extreme. As long as you wanted it just to complete a collection and not as an investment tool

LiarDice Films

Well it seems that the Bandai Deluxe Slithe is less a rarity and more a common figure now its appeared in bulk on eBay uk in the last week

booshman

I noticed this too, wonder where the stock has come from?

Lody

From all the produced figures

This isnt going to be a hard to find item

It's a hard to find RIGHT NOW item

Sorry to rain on the parade of all the people trying to profit from this figure with crazy prices on eBay, but it's available on the UK amazon via UK you store the Entertainer for £3.25. Enjoy people!

Must have been a very small stock because I just checked entertainers website and they are sold out , and then I went to amazon and bought the last one remaining...
...it's Dispatched from the entertainer though so it would seem they got the stock .... 3.25 is a bargain rare or not lol .... And no I'm not gonna flog it at a ridiculous price , I'm going to keep it as a lesson/reminder for myself to always wait it out before jumping the gun and paying over the odds for a figure that will eventually show up cheap lol ...
With the exception of my transformers masterpieces where it's actually cheaper to buy early

If these come back in stock on Amazon UK, do they ship to the US?

LiarDice Films

I've checked this morning and its back on amazon uk. I tried and they won't ship to a US address. I'm sure one of us can buy and ship to our American brothers

Revision - they've sold out again. I bought two so if anyone wants to buy the other for price I paid plus postage to your country fire me a message

Hi all

I managed to buy a delux slithe and 2 delux panthros cheap via the toy entertainer and I asked if they had/were getting any more and they advised that they received 20 of each from bandai USA unsold stock and that they would not be getting any more so well done to everyone who got them up cheap.

Note they are now fully sold out on amazon/eBay/toy entertainers own website-even if they show instock when you progress in the order it advises they are sold out.


Just wish I didn't pay £40 for a slithe 2 weeks ago!!! At least I got another 3 for £3.25 each

I wonder if they will get a load of storm chargers/armor of omens soon

booshman

I found some yesterday in the Entertainer Store in Liverpool. They're now on sale on eBay.co.UK through the Entertainer also. £3.25 plus delivery.

Props to LiarDice Films for the hooking me up with a Slithe from the UK. Thanks bro!

englishw

Yes, many thanks and props to LiarDice Films!

adssse

Agreed. What you do for fellow fans is very much appreciated!

AmuroMkII

You guys living in the UK are lucky to get Slithe and on clearance even. it's ironic that those stocks came from Bandai America and now people stateside can't even get their hands on them. their marketing and distribution system is a big FAIL. it would take nothing short of a miracle if I see some here in the Philippines

LiarDice Films

I'm sick of people profiting from true collectors and fans. If ever similar deals come up I will always help fellow forum members out.
