I empathize with you. that "Lost Wave 5" has been on my mind a lot over the years. Especially lately.

There's one now for $200 or best offer.
Which isn't all that bad, considering.

Yeah I seem to have seen some in the $400 - $500 range on a few occasions, but $575 pretty lofty this early in the game. As inflated as $200 is, that's about the best I've seen lately too (though i don't track it near enough).

I'm still not quite sure how I was able to order one of those originally. I forgot to set my alarm and by the time I woke up I was reading all the posts from people mad that it was out of stock. I checked the link just for the heck of it and it was there so I ordered it!
I still haven't been able to bring myself to open them, even though I'm a born and bred opener.
I was thrilled when i read the news back in Jan/Feb of 2011 here at the Raven, about this set soon to be released that summer.
And wouldn't you know that right around the time, even though I had a fairly steady paycheck, I had to wait a few days before I could collect the check, and I also had to be at work when they went on sale and couldn't even access a computer on my break. And when I got off work, it was supposedly a done deal.

Yeah, I planned to buy three. One to open, one to hand down to a nephew or son. And one as either a back up, or to sell to a collector years down the road. Glad you were able to get a hold of it!
Just felt weird that I could afford it, and found out about it before the fact, and still couldn't get in that window of oppurtunity at that time. Like I was supposed to get it then, and yet didn't. Ah well, I'll probably be able to have it soon.
I understand the reasons for it's limited numbers, but was frustrating for a collector/fan like me, that had supported that line, at full price from day one.
I was able to buy at least two or three of everything (at least figure wise), and in many cases army built. Shopping/scouting weekly, often daily between 11 different stores, and that's not counting places I looked that didn't carry the line. And then never even got to see a TOD figure.
We had a fairly new store where I live called Tuesday Morning's, which I knew nothing about. Little did I know, people on this forum started reporting TOD figure sightings in these stores. By the time I read about it, that store had shut down where I live.
So I still have something to look forward to in completing my collection. Not willing to pay + $500 for the lost wave, however. I know I can get it cheaper.
FETT1, were you able to get in on most of the other collection?
