Opinion - What's better: Rambo First Blood (M65 Jacket Version) or Rambo III???

[jayveeeusebio]

Wow, it's a close call in the poll but as of now, it looks like the M65 Jacket Version of Rambo is leading against the III version by one vote. Anyway, thank you for responding guys! I appreciate all your opinions & suggestions! Hopefully I could find one of these figures @ a reasonable price. You guys are awesome! Love these freaks!!!

The First Blood movie>>>Rambo III.

The First Blood movie>>>Rambo III.

Nobody's disputing that. But figurewise, the M65 doesn't compare to the Rambo III figure. Rambo III is the more iconic figure of the two and is the ultimate Rambo vs. the M65 Rambo who easily gets lost in the crowd of other figures.

Guys, question: Do you think $341 is a reasonable price for a brand new Rambo III nowadays?

Seems a bit high to me, but eBay says otherwise:

For me too, but I'm afraid these are now the values of a new HT Rambo III and it will only go higher as time goes by.

Haaay would someone give me a good deal (for this or the Jacket Version) out of this..

 

[jayveeeusebio]

Btw, thanks karamazov80 for checking those prices up in eBay!

 

[karamazov80]

No problem. Sorry he's a bit pricey, but that's the nature of these things. Keep an eye out, and you may find a good deal.

Yah, I know. Too bad I start collecting HT a little bit late (6/10). Keeping my 2 eyes out I say haha! Hopefully someone will pop up w/ a good deal out of him.

I wouldn't get my hopes up. They only go up from here. And honestly, compared to what other HT figures are fetching, $350 actually seems a bit low. So I'd bite at that price.

 

[karamazov80]

I saw an auction a short while back where 3 Rambos (including this guy) sold at BIN for $150. But of course, your chances of catching that are very low. Good deals pop up from time to time, but you've got to be one of the first to catch it.

Did you win it?

 

[karamazov80]

No. Almost Same guy actually had 2 separate Rambo auctions like that, including most (maybe all) of the Rambo figures, that someone might have picked up for $300 shipped.

I did get the M65 Rambo on these boards last year, though, for a very good price. So, again, keeping your eyes peeled can't hurt.

Agreed, if you really want it, or if you'd rather save $100, roll the dice on HT doing more Rambos after Barney Ross' success and just keep your eyes peeled for bargains on the old ones.

 

[jayveeeusebio]

@thenammagazine: I believe so too. I'm still not sure if I'll bite it though, I still have a lot of upcoming HT POs to mind.

@karamazov80: Really? Holy ___t! That's a steal! Link please? I just wanna see how did the auction go.

@MaulFan: Yeh, I think I have to deal w/ that w/ so many upcoming POs I've got..

 

[karamazov80]

That was last year, so the link is long dead I'm afraid.

Ohh..I thought the auction just happened yesterday or something this week haha! Ok.

Thanks for the link bro! Though I already found a HT Rambo III for $341 shipped..I'm still not sure if I'll get it or not. I also found a HT Rambo (M65 Jacket Version) for $350 shipped..not sure either haha!

 

[karamazov80]

I actually didn't think the M65 was worth that much, but the only recently ended eBay auction I've seen for him suggests otherwise:

This definitely wasn't the case last year when I was paying more attention to these things. I wonder if Barney is jacking up the value of these things.
