The auction is all done with, but take a look. This is a good example of fandom insanity. CBG would weep!

That is incredibly impressive, and I'm utterly utterly stunned.
It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone’s fault. If it was Us, what did that make Me? After all, I’m one of Us. I must be. I’ve certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We’re always one of Us. It’s Them that do bad things. - Jingo, Terry Pratchett

So some of those word-balloon figures of the family are rare huh? Bother, I had all of those when they first came out. I think they were thrown away.

Re:You think *you're* a fan?
Eh....I've got not-quite two dozen action figures and a bunch of comics, and I thought I was a fan. I didn't even know this much merchandise existed!
Methinks the $10,000 includes the house to store it in.

Wow! That's just incredible!
Just another reminder that "fan" is actually short for "fanatic".

Re:You think *you're* a fan?
$10,000! Ten thousand dollars! I think I'd consider selling for that sort of money......
Actually, that strikes me as a little scary....there's obsessive......and then there's that collection....
It's pretty impressive tho'........and some of it's probably pretty illegal too.....I wonder if F*x will be sending the lawyers round?
I seem to remember that when I were a lad, my brother had one of those word balloon figures......I don't think it was a rare one tho'......

There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning....
And that, I think, was the handle - that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn't need that. Our energy would simply prevail. There was no point in fighting - on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave....
So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark - that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.
