Do you own a Tongue-A-Saurus?

indiabluesplit · 03-19-2011, 07:19 PM

I believe that there are more of these out there than people realize. I understand that this forum represents a fraction of the collectors out there but it seems like it may be the highest quality fraction, with large collections.

The poll - I do not need to know who you are, i don't want anyones email getting clogged up with offers, I would just like everyone to answer the poll honestly, so we can get an accurate snapshot of how many are out there, even if just on the forum.

I don't and i am not planning on buying one in the future. I've already laid down my personal philosophy towards collecting Thundercats and Tongue A Saurus just doesn't fall to my prefererences.

I voted for MIB, but I own two. 1 is loose and was played with. The other is still in the original internal packaging, but the box seal has been broken.

So add 1 to the Loose option...

2 loose here.. One for me and one for my son.

Will get a MIB one in the future.

Not sure how to vote.....I have a Tongue-A-Sauras boxed with all internal packing, catalogue, instruction sheet etc.. however the box has one of the flaps torn off (how I got it many years back)

Would this count as MIB, as the toy itself is MINT? or loose?

I say it counts as MIB

I have two, one loose and one mint in box with outer box opened but inside untouched and still wrapped. I've seen 6/7 for sale (4 boxed, 2/3 unboxed) in the last 3 months from various places in picking up the two i have.

I have seen 3. there is an MIB for sale for 2k...there was an MIB on eBay for 549, and the loose one from the UK went for 488, this was in the last 40 days

I've seen 6/7 available this year;
1. MIB - Private website USA $2,000 USD (still available)
2. MIB - Private website UK £1195 GBP (still available)
3. MIB - Ebay USA $549 USD (went within 2 hours)
4. Loose - Ebay USA £122 GBP (listed with split tongue/faulty)
5. Loose - Ebay UK £285 GBP (was returned by buyer & relisted faulty)
6. Loose - Ebay UK £123 GBP (relisted one from above with faulty tongue)
7. MIB - Private sale £*** (From a private collector in the UK)

They do turn up, you just have to search and be prepared to pay a price for a working/complete one.

With so many MIB, I wonder why none have been graded? Not for the grade specifically but for the sealed acrylic case to protect it.
