A Point in a Collector's Life


There is a point in a collector’s life where he has to let go of some of his collection for something more important. And in my case I hoped raise money for something big for my one and only. She has accepted my hobby and by doing this I hope to buy her a ring that she will forever treasure so here is what I am selling.
For her to accept my big hobby and for I collect so much I have to be fair to her too. As a result I chose to sell all of my Banpresto One Piece Grandline Figures. Already now I collect Portraits of Pirates and Figuarts Zero too. As there was no need for me to collect this line too, as it isn't really a necessary part of my collection. Portraits of Pirates being the highest form quality and Figuarts Zero for their diversity in the series is more than enough for me as a One Piece collector.
Altogether I have managed to gather up within 6 months of this year 2012, 39 in total Banpresto One Piece figures. And the craziest thing is that it isn't even complete. As I am still missing 3 volumes from the older series.



So here is what i had so far, 39 figures.

I would like to thank Frank V for buying this whole set in one go, I know that it wasn't easy for him to buy such a big collection in one go. But he helped me a lot as it wasn't easy for me to let them go and I wanted them all go to a new home together and for that I thank you Frank.
Packaging them and look at them one more time brought me back memories when I first opened them up. But now they have to all go to a new home and hopefully one where they will be carefully taken care of and admired. One Piece is a really great manga/anime and throughout the series there has been a lot of epic characters. And there always will be in the upcoming series.
