Quote: shelly9871So---I was looking at eBay and I saw this...
Aside from the crazy price--what are your thoughts on the "error" here? The seller has taken time to take lots of pictures representing the errors...but I'm wondering if there are substantial errors here or if they are just different placement? I'm not sure why I'm having trouble wrapping my brain around this one but...
Also---how do I make a link? I'll take some time and read here today to figure out how to do it. I've appreciated the help from members---

I always love these kinds of lots. I imagine some midwestern soccer mom going out in the middle of the day and looking at a long time at racks and racks of toys, realizing that one happens to be slightly different. Taking it home, she turns on internet explorer, heads to h tee tee pee colon forward slash forward slash dubya dubyah dubyah dot ebay dot com and fires up the caps lock, exclaiming in great detail how a plastic figure that has cooled slightly downward is somehow the freaking Holy Grail.
And of course as soon as you send them a message stating that their special snowflake isn't really worth a thousand dollars, they'll send you a long winded message about how you have poor reading comprehension skills or are a troll and that their "buy it now" price is actually just a cap at how much they want to get about it.
tl;dr: This thing is basically just a figure has been produced a little bit differently/ at some point in the crafting of it, it was angled downwards. To be honest it's not as "rare" as say a paint error because those things seem to be either deliberate due to the factory making them (see the Chill lip thing and Prism Break's crystals) or a machine missed (see the paint errors in this thread)
For links, just stick a
tag around a link. I guess it could be a bit easier, but when you're typing a reply, above the comment box there's a little "chain" symbol in between the one with the picture of a sun and tree and the exclamation mark. That's the "link" button and will insert a url tag into the comment box; if you select something (highlighted in blue) and then click that, it'll insert them around whatever you've selected. Hope that helps!
