Yes the same braveheart, I just purchased it. Can't wait!! I agree we'd have a better chance getting shipwrecked on an uncharted island then finding that one hahaha.

Good stuff. That Braveheart is very nice. I did pick up the Harry Potter Order of the Phoenix and Half Blood Prince Death Eater Mask sets this morning. I really need to take a break from buying. It is getting a little out of hand..

One item I would like to chase down in the Da Vinci Code Rose Wood Press Kit. My brother had it, and I can't believe I passed it up

which hogwarts castle are you looking for? i'm assuming the one with that comes with the movies? you can get a replica one for $300 or $400 but it doesn't come with a drawer for the movies.

there's a set with the movies that has glass around it and one without if i'm not mistaken. i want the one with the glass.... just easier to clean.

I've seen a picture of the one without the plastic cover, and that has a thinner draw. I've never seen it in real life though. I've got the one you mention with the glass (which is actually plastic) around it. It does keep the castle clean, but the plastic does get dusty. I've got the DVD version, in German.

Yeah. Unfortunately it's hard to figure out exactly which countries released it and the exact details of each release. But I've definitely learned that the German one has the cover, so that is the one I've been shooting for. Looks so good and just pops when you see it in any collection. Just like your pic.

Yes @mcam we are very jealous of your castle arent we @SlimJim24 lol. It really stands out in your picture from everything else. Very nice centre piece.

I just picked up an item that I never thought I was going to find for a decent price.... a Piece of my childhood, in an incredible special edition. Got it new and cheaper then it's original price, when I've seen it sell for over 500. I give you.....

G.I. Joe A Real American Hero
MetalPak / Complete Series Collectors Set

Thanks for the comments. Honestly, I'm just plain lucky I was able to buy it when I did, and in the mix not having to pay shipping, and getting it for a good price.
I agree that it makes any collection look great. I believe a number of editions do the same thing, such as any number of head editions, or wooden box editions.
I currently have 12 other editions on the way to me (nothing big or impressive though), but items I have been after for a while. I need to work out how to display them.

By the way, does anyone know of any Green Mile Special Editions? That is another movie I would like to get in some form of special edition.

I find it so funny an item your looking at is listed but seller has no feedback and is new with no buying or selling history.
You ask for more pictures just to see if they really have the item and are very slow to reply.
It has a buy it now but no shipping international then when the finally reply then post more pics yes of the actual item but ask almost $300 in shipping wtf.
When previous to this was like $38 by message which seems to cheap.
Auction is then changed to place bid or buy now and still nobody interested.
Yet i am but are non responsive to messages and i ask for a honest shipping quote.
Now several bids are placed and its more than what buy it now was listed for.
Dont you love ebay and lets hope whoever buys item gets what they paid for but im pretty annoyed they tried to rip me off asking way too much for shipping if it had been sensible shipping price i would have got it ages ago.
Yet nobody asked for more pics of item and stayed away till then.

What was the item?

 

[bwatt99]

What was the item?

Cant say just incase they decide to offer shipping at a normal price. I do believe they are probably honest now adding the extra pics otherwise why bother.
But then why not use there hubby account with feedback and maybe draw more buyers to start with and why ask so much for shipping.
In the usa its fine and i know its not always cheap to send to australia but i know this was way over the top.

The only one I know off is the Diamond Luxe Digipack. It's not anything too fancy but it's a nice edition. You can see it here.
