He looks cool.  It's too bad that Xemnu is a build-a-figure though and you can't just buy him outright.  My Fin Fang Foom is a B-A-F too and I had to spend money on all these toys I didn't want in order to get Foom body parts.

The BAF aspect does add a wrinkle to acquiring the figure, but if it weren't a BAF the size would likely be a lot less impressive. I bought my Fin Fang Foom off eBay already assembled to avoid the hassle of the individual toys, may do the same with Xemnu.

Got one more step closer on the JIM run last night on Comiclink. I haven't seen a copy of this book above about a 5.0/5.5, and I really like 6.0 for the run so I had held out. Wasn't expecting to go all the way up to an 8.0 (old label, no less) but I am not complaining.

Thanks! I thought it was gorgeous when I saw it in the auction preview but wasn't sure I would be in the running at the end. Got blown out on that 8.5 #22 that was next to it (now that was a pretty book!). It was not cheap, but I think overall it was a good value all the same.

Heck, I can’t remember ever seeing a copy for sale, period. Nice grab.

Another hard to find issue of ST !

 

Highest grade in the Census is a single 8.0 (with only 32 total) - unbelievably there is a 7.5 for sale on ebay right now:

Picked my copy up 5 years ago in a CLink auction

I just checked the census and the competitive sets for #75 and it looks like a lot of people need it.  CGC considers it the last Atlas issue in the census

That's one book still on my want list!

Yeah, it's one I'd been considering grabbing and had seen how difficult it is in grade. I'll tell ya, there's a 6.0 sitting on eBay for about a third the price I paid for this one, but the colors are washed out or I would've certainly bought that from a financial standpoint. Still a great book though, if the faded colors don't bother you. 

If the 9.0 comes up for sale, you and bc could do a Mad Max style thunderdome  cage fight to see who gets it.  Hahhahhaaa
