aplz86 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 This seems so hard to find. I'm unfortunately new to minimates and so am way behind but I love silver surfer have one and now just need the giant galactus. Do any of you know of any for sale. Btw I am in the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Welcome aboard! I wish I could help because that would mean 1) I could have afforded it when it first came out and 2) I'd be replacing it with an articulated version I wanted from the beginning. Best of luck acquiring one! It's a nice addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aplz86 Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 There is an articulated version Of the same size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 This will unfortunately sound patronising but Galactii don't come cheap anymore & if you're 'new to minimates' that's a big initial investment for something that will probably be broken pretty easily whilst you're accumulating the rest of your collection.

MisterPL Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 There is an articulated version Of the same size? No, but it's on my wish list. DST's contract with Marvel doesn't allow them to offer figures larger than 2" tall so a giant-sized Galactus (or Sentinel or Giant-Man) is a no-no. That's why DST did the statue; they were already doing those at the time but they no longer have that category. If there was a way to get plastic banks, they might be able to offer a more affordable alternative in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tones Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 for what it's worth, I've been quite happy with the Mighty Muggs Galactus as an alternative. Not sure how hard they are to come by now as I bought it when it was released with this in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freaqualizer Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I've often debated spending $40.00 on a SHS Galactus. They also have Sentinels, Frost Giants and a Fin Fang Foom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanester Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 The last Maximate Galactus Statue that sold on Ebay sold for $299.99 with free shipping. Is that a good price or a bad price? I would say high end of the spectrum, but they don't turn up for sale often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aplz86 Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 Bloody hell that's alot lol. Would take me a while to convince the missus that a spend on one item was a good investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzle Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I too am looking for the Galactus Max as mine broke when the shelf he was on collapsed. The only one I can even find for sale right now is on Amazon and the seller is asking for $700. I contatcted him/her to see if I could negotiate a lower price but they wouldn't budge. I'm now trying to find a buyer for my spare kidney so I can get it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nebraska Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I bought mine off ebay last year during SDCC for $100 MIB. I had been hunting for one for YEARS. I just saved it as a search & waited for the right price. I guess everyone was too busy buying SDCC Exclusives that week to take notice.

Freaqualizer Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 BHM, I'm not asking for a number, but do you have enough Galactii to sell to more than one person? Cause I'd be really interested in purchasing one down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricm Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 tones, that Galactus looks pretty cool! Too bad mighty muggs doesn't make a sentinel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMiracle Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I sold one for $100ish a year or two ago. I can't believe people are paying $300 for it! I thought it was an articulated figure, I was super bummed when I opened it and found out it was just a statue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aplz86 Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 Ok fine. This is my offer. It is going to be a cheeky one but Meh lol. £50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye's Junk Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I got both the Galactus and Sentinel for $200 I think the $300 is an one time thing. Look around and you will get a deal.

tones Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 tones, that Galactus looks pretty cool! Too bad mighty muggs doesn't make a sentinel. i know, right? i would have bought 3 in a heartbeat. i did buy one of those blank figures that Target sells, with intentions to make my own Sentinel. Just haven't gotten around to painting it yet. It's packed up right now as I'll be moving house soon, but I think I'm going to move it to the top of my to-do list. i'll be sure to post pics when its done.
