Firstly I'm not advertising, a while back I had posted I had found 5 at one time....Matteomax called me out on it. Today while transferring some files onto an external hard drive, I located the picture! Can anyone host the image if I email it to them?

you can upload it here -> http://imgur.com/ and then post the link here...

Tons of room on this one.

#1) No need to call him out by name as it wont do anything. He has been called out for advertising, giving information that is against TFB and Actvi policy, and just plain incorrect.

#2) Nothing is done about it. (Emails about actions have been sent with no result) It is what it is. Just deal with it.

#3) No need to continue here.

I agree we don't need to continue, but I'd love to see a pic with 5 GITD Zaps!

I'll upload it tomorrow and share it

Cool can't wait!

Here is the picture: http://imgur.com/Lx1oKRr

These were all obtained at the same Wal-Mart on the same day. I did purchase them all, to trade for the various other variants (someone is bound to ask why I purchased that many).

Wow What Are The Odds ?

awesome... thats not a sight we see everyday... and now mister Matteomax will have to eat his own hat, LOL....

I can't be sure, but when I didn't post it and couldn't find it he ultimately said he believed me....its just when I finally located the picture I was like "woah, people need to see this as it is truly a rarity" I mean there are people who find variants daily, and people with large variant collections, but this was unique!

7x's White Flocked Prism Break

Did you find all of these at the same time though? Awesome picture regardless!

white flocked I purchased separately, but both of the purple eye brawls I purchased at the same time

Why did you buy 7?

What are you talking about? I asked if I could see the images.

Clear difference in asking to see images and calling someone out

What? That was directed at me? I'm a moderator!
I haven't advertised in ages.

Incorrect info? What?
I've NEVER said anything against their policies. What made you think THAT?

because no one else bought them. I figured I would give them a nice home with the others.

Just because you're a Moderator doesn't mean you do your job correctly, nor does it make you innocent.

I don't blame you for buying 5, I would have too!

one day...ONE DAY!!... I will find a variant in a store...one day.
/sigh


COol thou for those that have, congrats

Slayer...im in the same boat...ONE day ill find one too.

My question is why do you buy multiples of different chase variants?

Im sorry for double posts but...are you saying you have happened upon multiple chase variants numerous times? Chop chop was never sold in stores I thought.?

Ummmmm, your pictures are WAY too tiny, I have no idea what I'm looking at.... And that's WITH zooming in and excellent eyesight! I find 800x600 to be a good size to go for, half that is about the smallest you should go.

im taking a wild guess but maybe its compulsive buying disorder..

So my question stands because this is not, :
"a just finding them in stores," situation.

Why would you have so many chase variants of the exact same type?

InB4 "you're just jealous" blah, blah, blah.
I'm not jealous. I just honestly want to know why someone would have all these in his/her possession. There's no way that a regular everyday consumer could just stumble upon this many chase variants in stores based on pure luck alone.

He probably wants a ton of money for one of each.
I'd pay $90 for 3 Prism Breaks, JUST because he has so many.

I'm pretty sure you can guess, and I don't believe he'll ever state the actual reason for how folks of that disposition are treated on this forum.

...yeah. I'm not passing judgment, but I don't buy that one for a moment. Seeing as you've gotten your hands on many multiples of the hardest to get chase variants, I can't imagine what Skylanders you could possibly be trying to trade them for.

Here's a good question: Do you still have all of the multiples of all of these figures? If so, take a new photo with a current newspaper or magazine in the shot. I'm thinking that most (if not all) of those, though, are long gone based on what their auction values are.

He has so many because its just pure greed....he wants to make sure no one else in his town gets a chase varient the NORMAL way. I hate greedy people.

What's worst than a scalper?
Someone that uses their job title to get Chase Variants before even scalpers have a chance...
Hmmm........

Some have mentioned Greed, His name says it all.
History Question: Who turned over Jesus to get crucified for some $$$?

There are always going to be critics....

I was just trying to show some pictures of multiple variants in the same photo. 5 GITD Zaps was pretty cool, so I thought I would show some of my own. I still do own all these figures as the pictures were taken today after I noticed this thread

So, outside of some sort of compulsive disorder, what, exactly, is the reason for the CASE of Gnarly Tree Rexes? If they're not for resale, you seem to have an awfully complete collection of chase variants, so I again can't imagine what Skylanders you'd be trying to trade for. The fact that you haven't jumped out immediately with "Oh, I just can't part with them" or "I want to have four complete, sealed sets" or something of the like is somewhat telling in my opinion. If you're "saving for the future," just remember the family who squandered years of income on now-worthless Beanie Babies.

I work a minimum wage job (what job title?) and budget wisely so I am able to purchase whatever I want

im broke just like the next guy

your welcome for my sick compulsions?

you should see how many beanie babies I have lol

I've always wanted to do something sort of like that with gnarly just for a day to see it, then i'd prob return them all the next day.

Did you find all these in store or ebay? If in store, man your stores must be lucky.

I look forward to seeing your episode of Hoarders in the near future.

I got Glow in the dark Zap year ago...

Ok, HOW many Gnarly Tree Rex do you need?

Because people in other countries haven't got these yet, so I sent some Gnarlys to a few friends in the uk and italy

There are of course much bigger problems in the world and with humanity ....

but really ... 36 Gnarly Tree Rex singles?

That's ridiculous, don't you think?

$540+ for 36 singles .-.

I just wonder what the motivation is...
"LOOKY what I have and you don't ha ha.?" What else would it be? I am all for sharing finds and excitement about our collections...but this doesnt feel like that
