MR Rebel Blaster. WTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tom1971 · Nov 16, 2015

Now I love the thing and miss mine but are you kidding me. I see these for $500 to$600 all the time and that is way up from where they were.

Was somebody smoking something???

Did I miss something???

Actually the MR stuff has been coming down a little bit as the movie gets closer. People trying to capitalize on it while buyers I think are saving their money for what is coming. The MR Stormy was going for $1,100 and more now I have seen several go for $800. The FX sabers are back down, minus the Hasbro with removable blade, and so on. Even real Graflex handles have come down a bit from their insane max.

Nope.. A good Graflex on ebay is in the $600 - $700 range.. That's nuts.

I am seeing numerous ones, including the one I just got for around $500. Yeah, more than the $300 they were before the trailer but way down from the insanity of $900 to over 1k.

Anyway the point is I have seen MR Rebel Blasters going recently, as in last week, going for $500, $600, etc.

What was up with this one???

Still can't believe the price spike for the Graflex. I got mine for 175 around a year or two ago now and even then I thought that was pricey.

Yeah, I made a HUGE!!! mistake waiting. I really thought the rumors about his ESB saber being in the new movie was bunk.

They came out in 2004 at a retail price of $449.00 limited to 2500. So $500 or $600 is not bad compared to other LE items release in the past few years.

There is another one on Rebelscum right now for $500. It's more valuable than the $1,300+ one from Ebay so WTH????

You know the saying: it is stupid the one who pays, not the one who asks. For ebay this applies perfectly. The best thing is to buy it from a fellow collector who also wants for his collectible to arrive in the hands of a collector.

KaanE · Nov 17, 2015

There is one in the junkyard at 390$ for example.

DL 44 Blaster · Nov 17, 2015

I just saw one listed for $1999.00 and thought it was a typo meaning to be listed at 199.00 but considering this I guess the seller means his listing price.

Jeezuz and I've been selling complete costumes of high end quality for near this price point or below

PT Barnum said it best........

Sluis Van Shipyards · Nov 17, 2015

Well with the luck I've had with MR cases I'd charge that to cover my cost of UPS breaking the acrylic top in travel...

Clutch · Nov 18, 2015

I remember when they were around $250. That's when I got mine.

I passed many times on this blaster back then when prices were insanely low, and all because of my OT Imperials focus and because other more important things arrived. Thought this was also used by Imperials. Oh well...

Lichtbringer · Nov 18, 2015

I passed on this .... cause i want one from a Sterling. :facepalm :wacko

I have one from a Sterling and wouldn't trade it for one of these on my worst day....current price market or not. I think this is just a flash in the pan where a real Sterling will always hold and gain value.....kinda like property. It fluctuates but still maintains constant growth.

Nothing like the "real" deal :cool

Lichtbringer · Nov 18, 2015

I agree. :cool

And moreso, i NEVER had a single MR piece bought (or in hands) that really had satisfied me - but due to the illogical collector market i do think that most MR stuff is holding it´s value, and even growing over time.

Sourdoh · Nov 18, 2015

My feeling with MR was always that they put more into keeping manufacturing costs low, rather than trying to get everything right on the prop. They did balance that consideration well in some cases, in others, not so much ....

I would love an accurate A New Hope version but from what I can tell, you can't make one from a Sterling... at least not directly.

MR Rebel Blaster. WTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
