I'm sure he has a higher margin now. He left eBay full of anger because they wanted to force him to apply a shipping method, which was stupid to him. At least that's what he told me. I was in contact with him at the time when he had left ebay.
It took a while 'til his own website was established, but it was worth the wait.

I can only guess, but my assumption is that he sold less on his own website at the beginning.
But by now I think his store is so popular, again, that some figures indeed sell out within minutes.
I have trouble myself getting all the figures I want to buy from him. And I'm still waiting for my order shipped at the beginning of December...

If people didn't hesitate to buy figures, I think I wouldn't adjust prices and reduce some of them.
But often he raises the price by $1 every time a figure is relisted.

Yeah, he tests the waters with a run and then he bumps em up. Smart business. He has learned a thing or two over the years.

Sometime I want to go into the old Ebay links I have on here and see if any of the powersellers are still there. Doubt it.

You're right, it seems they all left ebay. Some are still around on AliExpress though. But it's getting harder to find Star Wars stuff cheap in the bay and elsewhere. Knock-offs are still around though. Some people even sell knockoff Clone Troopers of the Black Series as authentic ones on ebay.

On Saturday my order from December 3 arrived. I think it was due to the backdrop before the Holidays. The German mail was probably busy with national mail and put international mail on hold. It seems this package even went through the customs this time. It's hard to tell without a tracking number.

And unfortunately TungHori forgot to put in 4 more Vizam figures. I wanted to use them for customs and hope, he'll send them with my next order...




Fortunately he sent the replacement for the backpack. My Echo came without his backpack which is another indicator that his figures are (mostly/partly?) factory rejects.

Great haul. Im waiting for him to get the newest wave so i can grab another bib fortuna cheap for a Twi'lek custom. Mythrol too, but probably won't have the accessories. Yeah sometimes he includes accessories, sometimes not. On the scout trooper he included the blaster pistol, but i could swear it wasn't included in the gaming greats release. It was odd.

Tamer: Thanks, Shawn! Even being a loose collector has become quite costly. Patience almost always pays off in this hobby and sometimes one is even better off buying the stuff carded/sealed. Crazy times.

JDeck: TungHori listed a lot of new figures last week and bravely kept them in stock. More details on my next post. Sorry for the dalay. I just didn't find the time to share it.

My last two order from tunghori arrived last week. One was almost sent back because I didn't receive a notification - once again. Luckily the second one arrived on the day the first one was due to be redirected to HongKong! Either way, it looks tunghori didn't include the Razor Crest Mando. Instead, I recieved the top of a pen. That's what I call a little treat!




More detailed pictures will be added in March.

TungHori re-lists a couple older figures of the 3.75" Black Series. Here's the link to his store:

Be interesting to see if he gets his hands on that Pulse Exclusive Throne Room and starts selling pieces of it.

It's funny, I bought a cad bane from him shortly before he debuted on the show for like 6 bucks now it's doubled. Definitely need an updated version. I have an order, that's supposed to be coming soon. I think he uses a different postal system or the one he uses changed their site.

Wonder about the mailing system he uses? eBay does have a pretty decent system going for that.

So what are you gonna do with the pen top? I am assuming he is gonna get you the Mandos he promised?
