why the hell is the cog soilder series 3 so expensive ?

[B41RD]

whats so special about it ? personally i regard this as one of my more insignificant figures yet people go mad for them... whats the attraction ?

[AdamFenix]

IT'S BENJAMIN CARMINE!

Or so stupid people willing to fall for the dupe are lead to believe...

:rolleyes:

IT IS BEN CARMINE!!! But it is NOT worth more than 30$+ to me....luckily I've been able to get mine for no more tha 19.99+S&H. I really like the headsculpt over the COG Soldier S5.

[B41RD]

i got it for 18.99 and i thought that was expensive... i honestly see no attraction but i suppose it goes that i have another rare figure so i dont care lol im happy about that, but people rave about them and i just dont see why, nice sculpt as always but to me he is a standard figure with no notable features that make me wanna buy him straight away, he isnt ben carmine it says on the label "cog soldier" so to me he is a cog soldier, no more no less :)

i guess for the loose collectors it isnt so good as buliding an army of cog soldiers would cost a fortune. Im so glad im a moc collector, only gotta buy things once.

[AdamFenix]

I need more COG soldiers... I end up using the Series 5 bodies for more articulation... but I need different heads for variation... and I can't find that kind of soldier anywhere.

<Sad face>

I'd love to get my hands on Anthony and COG Soldier Series 2.

I really need these for my photo-novel so I can make different squads and such.

I'd try to look for a loose Cog Sodlier S3

Haven't found one for a reasonable price.

They end up blowing worse than a Tai hooker.

Why does the Sniper Rifle in the pic look different compared to the Sniper Rifle my Locust Sniper has?

[AdamFenix]

Nope; all of them have red scopes too.

I painted one with a blue scope (so it could be "COG" and kept the other red, for my Locust to use).

Very expensive.

$70-90 anywhere I looked.

how many times must we have this battle mr fenix... im going to say it... yes, yes it has to be asked as much as i may hate the answer... but... you would really open an anthony carmine at this stage in the game of gears figures ?

[Akka]

Series 5 Cog Soldier is the best crafted Gears figure IMO. It has the best articulation of all of them. If you plan on taking your figures out of the packages then its awesome. If you want it to just sit in the package then its just another cog soldier. Its price is all in its articulation.

EDIT: I was referring to the newest cog soldier (series 5). My bad. As for B Carmine cog soldier series 3, I dunno lol.

[danielgb123]

Any idea how much the Prototype Series 3 COG would go for? The Silver one..

I've got a COG Soldier Series 3, got him in a Series 3 package: Theron Palace Guard, Marcus Fenix, Locust Drone Grappler, Locust Drone Cyclops for $110AUD (P&S Included).

Think I should buy another Series 3 package?

Series 3 is probably one of my favorites JUST for the Cog Soldier and Palace Guard. You do get a Marcus which kinda sucks (for me at least I have like 3 Marcus') The Cyclops is cool and the grappler is eh. I would buy it for that price mostly cause I need a Grappler and Cyclops in box.

[eyeH8]

I got my S3 as a whole set from BBTS for $60. Then after I got it, I started checking the prices of them regularly, and it just kept going up and up. Like the Flame Grenadier, and now the Palace Guard, at least according to ToyWiz.

You can't very well have a proper photonovel if your figures are in packages, now can you?

[RAAM582]

My A. Carmine figure is open, how do you not open Carmine?!?!?!?!?!

[AdamFenix]

He has a fetish for things that comes in boxes.

Lol.

[B41RD]

no, how DO you open a carmine !?!? something that pricey should retain its value, the second you open that box it is worthless and over time gets beat up, dull and dusty... no thanks.

as for you fenix, was there supposed to be a joke in that last comment somewhere ? :)

[RAAM582]

I'm not selling these figures, I could care less about resale value.

[B41RD]

hey you do what you like, mines in his box and mint thats all i care about, as long as he is in his box ill always have the option to open him or keep him mint, you my friend, already made the choice to open him and once hes out, he is out. not that i ever will open him but while yours slowly decays, mine remains constantly case fresh and all my doors of choice of what to do with him remain wide open. :D enjoy raam, enjoy.

hah !

[rebelboy]

I'd imagine the COG soldier from Gears 3, and Clay Carmine figures will blow the series 3 price out of the water.

[RAAM582]

My Carmine has friends, and doesn't live in a box alone, scared, helpless.

[AdamFenix]

Watch the movie Toy Story Baird.

If you aren't a complete MORON you can make toys last forever.

You have to care about the things in life you care about or they break down.

Eventually everything breaks down, this is a fact of life.

I'll use an Arab proverb:

"Man fears time yet time fears the pyramids."

My Carmine lives in a box. Because I haven't bought him yet. Which sucks.

the pyramids are hardly unscathed though, are they ? :rolleyes:

i would rather stick pins in my eyes then watch toy story

figures stand a better chance if they are in a box and wrapped in clingfilm.

i dont want to dust them off every day either.

be gone !

They pyramids weren't left in a box.

They haven't fallen.

They remain here to stand whilst anything we make falls apart after a while.

So shall my figures!

these are pyramids fenix, you cant compare an action figure to an ancient pyramid, you cant justify an action figure's resistance to corrosion levels to a damn pyramid thats a terrible effort and example, i knew you were a strange one fenix but, really ? look at what your writing you lunatic :o

oh and in response to your earlier comment, if i watch toy story and see that buzz and woody are still lookin good after all these years i know that its BECAUSE IT ISNT REAL !!!
