Blue Dot is the most common of all Series 2 Cheap Toys, but a nice figure none the less. It appears to be in good condition. ( mine is a bit chewed up ) This toy should not cost more than 225.00 in my opinion, but you never know with ebay. Out of the seven Dots I've owned, 3 had damage-they are prone to damage. I had a Green Dot I got from Leeroy and it had the edge of the dress chewed off. I got the rat-damaged Blue Dot from The Watcher, which I always liked because you could see the rat teeth marks! I got a Blue Dot replacement and sold it. I also owned Marmac's childhood Sunshine Dot that had his initials scratched in her dress "M.M", I later traded it to Nico. Good times!

That's TCT (Diego's) Blue Dot. Seen it in person. Gorgeous figure. You won't go wrong with her. I wanted that figure for a time, but it went past my limit. I've owned Blue Dot two other times though, so I'm not going to go crazy. Btw, one Blue Dot came from you Paul, if you remember (the one with rat damage! ). (Later I sold it to Meatcutta for like, 50 bucks, lol) Of all the Dots, I liked Blue the best, though its the most 'common', and sunshine a close second. Great toy, sad to see Diego let it go! And his is in GREAT shape!

Feedback Type: NegITIVE!!! Type of Transaction: Trade Size of Transaction: medium Comments: Angie and I began the process of doing a trade sometime the beginning to middle of August. She wanted to know if I had a Pea Green Megan. I told her I might but wasn't sure as sometimes I still get confused on all the green variations. She offered to ID them for me. So I sent her my two green Megans, a Green Alice island and a Green Brett Sweat. She eventually got the figures around early part of May. She apologized for being a slacker and said she had a lot going on. This was the last communication I got from her as she ceased contact. Before she ceased contact she had agreed to send back my 2 Megans, Pea green Alice Island and a Bubblegum Adam Bomb in exchange for my Brett Sweat. After failing to get into contact with Angie, I then contacted TCT and he was not able to get into contact with her either. It pains me to do this as I have given her sufficient time to get into contact with me but to no avail. I hate making this situation public, but I have gone through all the proper channels. She was a long time member with a great record of trust and it makes me sad to have to bring this to the boards attention. Below are some of the last communications we exchanged via email. Thank you. You truly are the Dutchess of bonbon. I have an eye condition so trying to figure out colors for me is getting increasingly difficult. Your info helps a lot. If I have issues in the future, I may seek your help, if that's ok? I now know what My Alice and Megans are, yay!!! Let's just trade Brett for the Adam. Since both my Megans are Lime I don't need another. I feel bad it wasn't what you needed. Sorry about your hectic week and I completely understand. I have 2 children and an elderly grandmother who is wheel chair bound. It's always drama around my house, haha! take care Paul~ -----Original Message----- From: Ang Silva <angksilva@gmail.com> To: Pablo Mendez <auctionwatcher95@aol.com> Sent: Mon, May 6, 2013 6:46 am Subject: Re: Cheap Toys Hey Paul! Sorry for the late response. This week has been super crazy for my family. I did get the cheapies, and it turns out that the Brett and both Megans are lime. You have one Megan that is slightly darker than the other, but I think it's mostly because it's old/stained. It's definitely lime because it has too much yellow in it to be anything else. If I were you, I'd hang onto that one because it definitely is unique! The Alice you have is definitely pea green. She's beautiful. <3 lol If it's okay with you, I would like to still trade for the Brett. That helps me finish my lime set. I'll send your Alice and Megans back along with my lime Megan for trade. I'll throw Adam in for good measure. Let me know if this sounds good, and I'll put them in the mail to you tomorrow! -Angie On Sun, May 5, 2013 at 6:17 PM, Pablo Mendez <auctionwatcher95@aol.com> wrote: Hey Angie, have not heard from you in a while. Hope all is well. I mailed off the Cheap toys to you at the beginning of last week w/tracking. It says you got them Thursday. Just making sure you got them and what did you find out? LMk Thanks paul~ I texted her for you Paul several times, with no response. I noticed her Facebook page was taken down recently though. I hope she is alright! Sorry about that Paul, I'm sure if Angie returns to the board that she will compensate you, she's a good gal! rusVan GPK Underground Moderator

I can remember buying the UK cheap toys in the only newsagents in town that sold them. (They weren't as wisely available as GPK stickers). I remember it as being around the release of the UK series 4 or series 5. I was still in junior school when I bought them, because I used to go buy them with my school friends. I was in senior school when GG '91 and GG '92 came out, I know this too as I first saw a GG '91 wrapper as I was walking home over the playing field and I remember my utter joy as I realised my favourite stickers were back. Great story Baked Jake, always nice to see you around, btw!!

-TCT iAwesome TCT. Can't wait till minikins hit. People will start customizing them like that. Do we have a minikins board yet TCT? Prob best to seperate the original cheap toys from minikins yeah? I asked Cory about two months ago to create a Minikins section, it will get done closer to release date!

Wait,YOU won it? Or did a friend win it for you and you're splitting it? Either that or you used some kind of sniper service. Cause 'rusvan' ebay account only bid $500. Hhhmmm.... Yeah, it was a split, I just needed a few of the figures.

Lol yeah he looks so perfect in there I'm jealous Russ you mind if I ask how much did that piece cost you Good coin, not sure if Mike minds me saying, so I won't. Mike (and someone else) outbid me on Alien Ian in 2009 when it went up on eBay. I put up a modest bid of 200,(I think I bid 212 actually), not knowing how the market would react to these, and Mike (actually, it was Mike's brother) who won it. I also got outbid on Trashcan Ken in winter of 2009, an auction I will never forgive myself for. . At least I got Ian 'back' and bought Spacey Stacy (Spacey Stacy was never auctioned on eBay, it was originally bought off-eBay). It's all good, I got my two personal favorites from the eleven-the space characters!!!!!!!! I wish they had made Inter-Stelllllllllllllllllllllllllaaaaa

Did the artist ever sell all of those prototypes? I only saw a few of them up for auction. I still can't believe he broke up that one-of-a-kind set. He did! 7 went to one buyer off eBay.

I wish i knew about cheap toys years ago. I think people are just getting rid of their cheap toys now in fear that the value will decrease once the minkins come out. I hope someone on this site wins them. also Rus, you think we'll ever see any ulta rares for minikins? Absolutely, but they will be weird little variants for now. Now, for Minikins II, we'll see! I hope they make Nagenta ones next time!

Hell yeah Bryce!! Glad you're back in the Novo game!! This is going to be a GREAT year for Cheap Toys! Agree'd! Half the fun is hunting them down but in between surges of available cheapies,I can focus on our own mono mini customs! Try to release your set BEFORE Oct 16th, I'm not sure how much demand there will be for CT fan sets and customs after the GPK Minikins Series. Minikins are going to be CHEAP and in local stores, and there's 26 different sculpts.
