    For those that are wandering, this was a one off purchase from a seller that was clearing out their collection. All items have now been sold. For those that want to pick up their own bargain, start checking eBay everyday! Happy hunting!!

    I was once lucky to find a brand new Anniversary Scorpion set for only 23$. I wish I have ordered more than one. At that time the deal seemed like a scam, the seller had about 20 to sell.

      That is incredible, I’ve heard other people say this. It seams if you were in the right area these set were easy to get and even discounted. If you were in the wrong area you had no chance.

      Thanks man, easy come easy go. Having never seen Mega Bloks in store ‘ever’ due to my location, I get super excited seeing them for the first time. Opening eBay packages of old sets is actually more exiting than receiving current sets through the mail from Amazon. (I still like receiving current sets too though…I have a problem 😂). Also, putting them on the shelf’s after I made that video was super satisfying, I love filling in gaps in the collection 😁

    I don’t think I would risk buying a set new in box, especially from the early era, having the box would be cool but the risk of having missing pieces or deformed pieces is just a little too high for me to risk for hundreds of dollars

    I am from Germany and i found a store that sold stuff from stores that couldnt sell the products for cheap, and i bought a case of sealed mint condition wraiths for 29 euros each and a case of the construction version of the warthog in orange (idk what its called) for 15 buckos, but i will prob sell all of them

      That’s awesome, I had a similar thing with the Halo 5 Wraith Ambush sets, I got 4 for £15 each years ago, that was a good day. I believe the other vehicle you are referring to is the Spade, great set and worth building if you haven’t already tried one.

      @@nrgnicericeguy1131 97014 is most people’s favourite of the wraith sets so a great find. I’ve heard Mega is very difficult to obtain in Germany, it’s pretty hard in the Uk too outside of the few sets Amazon UK stock. It would be great to see Mega go truly global again like they used to in the Mega Bloks days. Given how strong the product is now it’s hard to see them not succeeding in the global market.

      @@ruufiss9922 That’s the answer right there. I know a number of collectors in the states and Canada that have to pay far more on the secondary market than we do here in the Uk.
