616commando Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Nooooo, not like the Stealth ML. He was IMPOSSIBLE to find, back when i was collecting legends. Stealth IM minimate however, I found at my local swap meet for around ten bucks. Expensive for 'mates, and still hard to find, but no where like the legend. 616 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynet Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 When stealth Iron Man pops up he has gone for about $50+. :ironmanstealth: It's been a long time since I've seen him on ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rheul Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I got mine on eBay for like 15 bucks I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vbpanizzi Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I had to buy a lot of something like 47 mates to get him. but I technically only paid 2ish dollars for him if you divide up what I paid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightViper Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I paid about $20 for mine. That was a couple years ago though. Pain in the ass to get he was. The seller got the money order and cashed it, then forgot that he had done that and claimed I hadn't paid him. Luckily he eventually found a receipt for when he cashed it in and sent the blue boozer on his way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishtankdork Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 this is disheartening info. how come the coolest looking ones are the harder to find!!!! arg!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 What do you expect he's a stealth figure he's bound to be hard to find ( gotta love bad puns!) Yeah they are pretty rare, in fact if you ask me they are the hardest to find mate from a regular wave, beating even "Black spidey" into submission. Expect to pay about $40 for one... T. p.s. I Actually have 2 different versions of this figure, the released version and one that probably was a 'test shot' made out of a slightly different smokey grey/blue plastic.

gambitron Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I got mine for 15$ two years ago on ebay and was so excited to get it for that price. Hey TBT I would love to see a side by side pic of those stealth IMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Hey TBT I would love to see a side by side pic of those stealth IMs. I can do better, we even had a thread and poll... http://www.minimatemultiverse.com/index.ph...ost&p=21362 Amusingly the whole thread came about because the person who owned it previously thought the greyish version was the regular and the inky blue was the chase! -after some debate it was proved to be the other way round. Of course after some gentle negotiation the one is the pic is now one of the quirkier and rarer parts of my collection... And as far as I know only one of two that we know that exist in that 'shade' T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanester Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 In my opinion, Stealth IM is the rarest of the regular wave minimates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinimateEspo25 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 why is that shanester? wouldn't it be an earlier chase? like elektra or black spidey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 why is that shanester? wouldn't it be an earlier chase? like elektra or black spidey? Honestly, I have no scientific answer for that. You would think that early waves would be the hardest to find, but it doesn't seem to be the case here. Don't get me wrong...both Symbiote Spidey and Black Elektra are difficult to find and generally on the expensive side. But its my opinion that Stealth Iron Man surpasses their rarity, and most times, the prices these figures typically fetch. Why? I really don't know. The wave was not a short run and the particular charater does not tend to garner more popularity than Spider-Man. It is a bit of a mystery to me, but fairly evident, none-the-less. Anyone disagree?

rx78jj Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I can thank a lazy ebay bidder for my Stealth mini. Got mine for $12.00. This was back in the day though. As for the Legends Stealth, I once saw that bad boy in a Gamestop, back when they sold toys. The thing is I wasn't collecting Legends back then. So I let him escape with a price tag of $11.99. :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone disagree? no i agree i think there were more of the 1st couple of wave's made(they made a big roll out!!!), then when they knew the initial sale figure's for those wave's they cut back the later waves to just those sale figures, thus making the wave that had iron man in, not hard to find, but once they were gone, they were gone gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made friends with someone in the Phillipines on either He-Man.org or Palisade back in the day and traded some extra MOTU figures for both Stealth Iron Man and the Yellow Daredevil I missed out on. Like RX, I didn't pick these up initially and didn't start looking for past figures until like wave 6 or 7 of the ML stuff. I came onboard with Wave 5, which I feel was one of the strongest waves back them. Thanks to some pretty fair traders out there, I was able to fill my holes of the figures I was looking for in my collection. The same can be said about my Minimate collection, thanks gang and you know who you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
