No, she's just having to hop around now, after selling her leg ready for when a PS comes onto e-bay :rolleyes::D

[elderblackcurrent]

Are the 40 sets of WG figures part of the 1000 edition?and if they are and they have a certificate and are the same price as the ones I bought without a certificate, why?

Yes they`re part of the 1000 edition,but 40 were taken and signed by Robert Harrop and dated to coincide with the 40th. Anniversary of the first moon landing .Certificates issued with them in order to verify the authenticity of that particular batch of 40.

Are they part of the origional 1000 Hillbilly or will there be 1000 LE ones and an extra 40 signed and dated as i did not think that RHD would be able to change the origional LE from 1000 to 960 :confused:

I wonder if Dan could clarify this for us :confused:

I wonder if Dan could clarify this for us :confused:

I think I read somewhere that they were taken from the original 1000,unless I dreamt it:eek:

[Number 452]

It's quite simple, there were 1000 LE pieces, RHD took 40 of the 1000 and signed / dated them as per moon landing anniversary, leaving 960 remaining unsigned / undated LE's, the 40 of course are also still LE's - Simples :)

[elderblackcurrent]

So that means then that there is actually an original 960 uncertificated le and then a seperate certificated le of 40.
Had this been advertised earlier then i for one would have waited and bought one of the 40 certificated sets, thats just my way of thinking but i feel a bit let down by the lack of certificate with the original sets. Surely the idea of an edition of a certain size is that all of them are the same in all respects.

[Number 452]

Personaly speaking there is little difference between the 40 and the 960, other than the obvious moon landing business. I don't believe the 40 moon landing anniversary pieces will be worth any more than the others, and if you were so desperate you could have bought the additional anniversary piece, and sold the former or kept if for a rainy day. What RHD did in this case doesn't detract from the LE 1000. Really it isn't any different from you taking a LE of any description to one of the RHD open days and getting it signed - it doesn't reduce the number or value of the remaining LE's.

[Draydurbullies]

In that case, I wonder if anyone would be willing to swap a signed and dated version for one that isn't ? Just in case i haven't managed to get one of the 40 :D

I seem to remember a similar thing happening with a White Bull Terrier Gladiator. That time only 10 were signed by RH and i sent an email to Cinta asking why ? I was told that if i wanted one of these 10 then there would be no problems in me purchassing a second signed one. To which i happily oblidged :cool:

[Number 452]

I'm clearly missing a point here. I'm not convinced that a signed / dated piece is that much more valuable than the alternative in this particular instance. The piece is signed / dated by the owner of the company, and ?????????????? If this realy realy means so much to an individiual I suggest they save their unsigned piece and return to RHD in 10 years time and get in signed / dated for the 50th anniversary ????

Of course there are speculators amongst us who have recently diverted outside of their own field of interest to buy LE's from the other collections in the hope that they will make a bob or two.

Recently a number of dog LE's (colourways etc) have appeared on this site, I believe, but happy to be corrected, that these have been limited to 50. I could have purchased (or at least bid) for one of these I guess, but as I don't collect the delightful creatures ! and I may be denying a genuine collector, I don't bother, to do otherwise would be selfish on my part, just for the sake of making a beer vouchers

Returning to the main theme, I do think that some folk get a little hot under the collar about signed pieces. I can understand the disappointment of missing out on a LE, but when there are 1000 of them, missing one of 40 signed pieces is not the end of the world. If you don't believe me, watch out for the first signed / dated anniversary piece to appear on Ebay - I bet you now that it won't attract any far greater price than the alternative.

Dray, if I had a signed / dated one I would happily swap with you, but of course you don't collect the W&G figures, so presumably you have nothing to swap ?? :)

[Carla]

So what you are actually saying mr wobblebottom is that having pieces signed means...
SQUAT!

............gotta agree with that.

[elderblackcurrent]

dear 452
first i am not buying to get beer vouchers, I have a decent sized W&G collection ranging from Leblon Delienne figuresand others. i was bought these RH figures as a preent.
In my experience of LE pieces from other manufacturers they usually come with a certificate , of some sort, not always signed but confirming the number on the piece and it being part of the edition. my other "concern" was that the LE was to mark the anniversay of W&G then someone decide to remove 40 of each piece plue 40 extra moon rockets to mark another event this to me is a seperate thing and not conected to the original edition.

Hi Elder (if I may be less formal)

I wasn't suggesting you were buying for beer vouchers, but there are certain folk who inhabit the forum (and they will know who they are) who do engage in this practice - I neither approve or disapprove, just make the observation.

Broadly speaking general release RHD LE figures don't come with a certificate, there are however certain exceptions (isn't there always ;))

I must disagree with your final comment though. The LE were not made particularly to mark the anniversary of W&G (all be it they, W&G are 20 years old now), but of course the 40 were signed / dated to mark the anniversary of the moon landing.

Thanks for starting an interesting thread, and welcome to the mad world of RHD collectors :)

I heard at the vet's the other day, someone had found some empty Dr Who chocolate bar wrappers, they were from 1970's and they put them on ebay to see what would happen ???
With 4 days to go they were on 68.00:eek:

For some reason, people who only collect, find it easy to part with their money, where as people who also sell, buy wisely;)

Cinta was the origional Dennis a std piece, to which the red nosed Dennis came from?

[HILLBILLY]

Cinta is saying that 50 Big Dennis`s were taken and given a Red Nose job . I don`t think though that it is the same situation with the WG pieces .Big Dennis is not listed as being Limited whereas the WG pieces are.

You are such a gentleman:)

"Cinta was the original Dennis a std piece, to which the red nosed Dennis came from"?

I was trying to ask Cinta if the Red Nosed Dennis, to which i believe was a LE ???
Was in fact a colourway of the original piece, and if so was the original piece a Standard one?

Does that help or hinder you now further:D

I stand to be corrected on this by POPPY ,who gave me the answer almost 12 months ago ,but from what I remember (and my memory isn`t as good as it was):( a Colourway was the palette often used in the Annuals ,which sometimes differed from the Comics version .

[Cinta]

A colourway is a figurine painted differenly form the original. The Red Nose Dennis was from the original Big Dennis, signed and painted for the charity "Red Nose Day" My point is that the Red Nose Dennis is most sought after because it was a very special limited edition, as we hope the Moon Landing set will become for those people who purchased it.

Thanks for finally clearing that one up for us Cinta x

NOW WHAT WAS IT YOU WERE SAYING HILLBILLY :rolleyes: I am only kidding, as i know you only posted information that you strongly felt was right;)

So then the Red Nose Dennis was a LE colourway of 50. Origional produced as a standard Big Dennis.
Then we have the signed and dated Moon Landing LE of 40. Origionally produced as a LE or 1000:cool:

We are never to old to learn:D

Have a nice day all x

[Carla]

Thanks for clearing that up Cinta.

.....but how can the 40 'Moon Landing' pieces be the same as the Red Nose Thingy, at least that piece was a colourway, whereas the moon landing pieces are just the same pieces taken from the 1000 original pieces. The only difference is a cert and a sig.

I think the point made by the thread starter was that they paid the same for the standard models as the people who may have bought the 'limiteds' of 40.

Let's face it, its a marketing ploy to get rid of unsold stock, nothing wrong with that, its what businesses do.

[Draydurbullies]

I'm glad i got one of the signed ones, to me it adds a little something to the origional ones.............................................. .................................................. .........................
Ink:cool::D:D:D

[Cinta]

My point exactly Dray :)

[POPPY]

Please stand Hillbilly and be corrected I never told you that what you wrote was a colourway somebody may have told you this but certainly not me.

Cinta has already explained exactly what a colourway is now so no need for me to do so.

PS Cinta shouldn't it read sought after not sorted ;)

[HILLBILLY]

I stand erected;)

[Carla]

So where's the incentive to buy limited edition's when they are first released if a few months down the road an amount are taken from the original release, signed, certificated and sold at the same price?

Anyone who bought these pieces upon release must be truly miffed!....I know i would be.

[Carla]

Are the 40 sets of WG figures part of the 1000 edition?and if they are and they have a certificate and are the same price as the ones I bought without a certificate, why?

This forum member has a valid point.

I tire from the endless discussions about signed / unsigned / LE / Non-LE and which is supposedly more valuable.

I have most of the rarer pieces (including one-off's) from the CG collection (apart from the M.O. before you remind me Dray), yes I guess some of them are fairly valuable, but their monetary value doesn't particularly interest me. My pleasure comes from simply collecting / having them, from looking at and admiring them, for the childhood memories they bring back, for the craftmanship, time and love put into producing them from conception to production and from the friendship and witty repartee of fellow collectors. That is the true value of my CG pieces.

I would like everyone to know that apart from the M.O. Windy Miller most of the CG collection is worth bugger all, unlike the smart money that has been invested in the very lucrative Bull Terriers:rolleyes: :D:D

You`ve hit the nail on the head there 452 , There seems to be far too much emphasis on what they`re worth (Or what someone thinks they`re worth) and not for what they are . They`re only worth what someone is prepared to pay for them . If I see a piece I like I`ll buy it,if I can afford it, It doesn`t have to be rare it`s got to be what I want to see displayed. I even bought the PC McGarry on his motorbike when I last visited the factory and I don`t collect CG pieces ,but it reminded me of when I was in the force and rode one of those Velocettes (Noddy Bike they were known as then) back in the late sixties. He`s displayed amongst my BD Collection.

I also only collect pieces that i like, i'm sure the same could be said for any sane collector:confused:

I even have a Black Bob or should i say Mackenzie does and that ain't never goin be worth Jack :D Every time i walk past him i say, "Would you like a P Bob"?

452&Hillbilly,
If Money was no object and all the pieces were readily available to complete your respective collections, would you now have a complete set or would you prefer to take a lifetime to become complete:D

I want to admire the pieces i want now not the day before i pass away. Which incidently,I think i best go have another look at my Bullies as you never now:eek:

A piece is only worth what someone is prepared to pay ???

The latter, all though it's not a matter of prefer. If I found my M.O. tomorrow at a reasonable price then of course I would get it. If it takes me five years to get it at what I consider a reasonable price then so be it, my life won't be any worse during those five years, in fact probably better because I will be extending my interest over those years. As Mr Hilly says, part of the enjoyment is in the pursuit.

A typical example would be the original music box. Just one year ago these were going for £550 or in the region there of, now they are down to £150, or even less (one went for £100 recently). Everything comes to those who wait. 'Want it now' attitude is a sad reflection of today's society, particularly amongst the younger generation, and if that makes me sound like a grumpy old git, I really don't care. Finally, I am most definately not in this for the money, those who know me well enough know this. I could make a bob or two on the rare pieces I have, but then I wouldn't have the pieces would I? and then I most definately would be a grumpy old git.

1. I have completed my BT collection at a price i was prepared to pay, i am well on my way to completeing the 3 other main group of DP. Also at a price i am happy to pay, some i have paid more than Rrp. Some well below. The sudden interest in the MO was to actually be able to hold it in my arms and pose proudly for a photo. Maybe one day i will be in a position to let someone who really wants one also have the pleasure. That person will pay exactly the same as i :)

2.Mackenzie loves dogs. Do you not talk to your collection then ?

3.Should i not mention money just because it makes you feel uncomfortable ?

4.I did and i survived:cool:

5.I have got a limit, but you take everything as i write as a direct reflection of me and what i do, not what i think other people are prepared to do;)
The sale of the 2 Bull Terrier Summer Uniforms were actually bought by the same person who i believe resides in Holland. This person in my opinion paid well over the odds. However in their opinion they paid what they were worth to them:p
Should we not just accept that some people value pieces higher than others. Also bargain hunters sometimes get just what the've paid for!

Good for you 452,
At least we are all prepared to speak honestly as to what makes each one of us tick.
If everyone had the same idea of waiting until the price was right then surely a RHD collection would be worthless and therefore still being sold at very low prices and available in most department and general stores accross the length and bredth of the country! RHD would possibly be a darn site better off and be selling much greater quantities. But would they be recognised as they are today across the Globe ? There is a price to pay for becoming sort after!

If no one was willing to pay the big bucks then nobody would be tempted to sell. Therefore the only times they would come up for sale is through house clearances and with them, part of the history, being the box, would be lost forever!

Did any off you manage to read my post about the empty! Dr Who chocolate wrappers xxxx

[Carla]

I think by now many of us realise that many of us are into RHD for it's quality and it's ability to allow us to wallow in nostalgia, whereas some people are in it for the values and potential profits (which at best are very very small if at all)

And which of those categories do you put your self in:confused:

I am still to sell a RHD piece, apart from pieces i have picked up for people and sold for the exact same price.
I have never bought a LE piece direct from RHD and sold it on ebay for treble the price within hours of taking receipt of the said piece;) I wonder if we can all say the same:)

My collection brings my family and i great pleasure, especially my Bull Terriers. When i first started out, i will admit i was very wet behind the ears and to a large degree, still am. however in just over 12 months i have spent a lot of my spare time and then some, trawling ebay and every shop i could find to try and get where i am today. I am very proud of my achievements to date and would never dream of selling, no matter what price was on offer. Having said that i would also pay what ever i thought was a reasonable amount to get a piece i wanted, i would never ever have "No Limit" That would just be silly.

At the end of the day i do consider them as an investment and that is why i only have about half a dozen pieces without their original boxes. I believe that in years to come, the then New RHD collectors will thank me for being so vigilant in the way i collect today.
My collection will one day either go to Mackenzie or to some form of Dog Charity, that will depend on how big mackenzie's own collection may be when she is much older:D

Worth - there's that word again. As I said the worth to me is everything I said above, not the monetary value. The money spent, is money gone, I don't care. Just as my house maybe worth half the money it was worth last year, I don't care, because I have a roof over my head, and that is more valuable than anything else.

If my RHD collection has no monetary value, so be it, I'm still happy.

If my RHD collection has no monetary value, so be it, I'm still happy.

Again 452,
You only seem to be reading into my post what you think i am saying.

When i started collecting Bull Terriers, i wished i could have waited for the ones to come by that were even remotely close to the Rrp, unfortunately that was never going to happen, never going to happen.
How many BT pieces have you seen sell for 99p

I wish that i could get all the pieces i want for under a tenner, again it just isn't going to happen.
Please tell me why the people who collect DP are just willing to generally pay more for a DP piece than a CG or BD piece. Unless we are on about the Red Nosed Dennis, MO Windy or some of the other more sort after pieces.

It is not me setting these prices it is the collectrate as a whole.

My collection is worth nothing to me in financial terms. Having said that I was once told by a very serious and passionate collector that their collection was worth well over 20,000.00 pounds:eek:
What would you do if you were burgled:eek:
Are your pieces insured ?


My collection has a value and i am doing nothing wrong in stating so:p

Have a good day and stop trying to make me out to be something you know i am not:(

1. I have completed my BT collection at a price i was prepared to pay, i am well on my way to completeing the 3 other main group of DP. Also at a price i am happy to pay, some i have paid more than Rrp. Some well below. The sudden interest in the MO was to actually be able to hold it in my arms and pose proudly for a photo. Maybe one day i will be in a position to let someone who really wants one also have the pleasure. That person will pay exactly the same as i :)

2.Mackenzie loves dogs. Do you not talk to your collection then ?

3.Should i not mention money just because it makes you feel uncomfortable ?

4.I did and i survived

5.I have got a limit, but you take everything as i write as a direct reflection of me and what i do, not what i think other people are prepared to do
The sale of the 2 Bull Terrier Summer Uniforms were actually bought by the same person who i believe resides in Holland. This person in my opinion paid well over the odds. However in their opinion they paid what they were worth to them:p
Should we not just accept that some people value pieces higher than others. Also bargain hunters sometimes get just what the've paid for!



If no one was willing to pay the big bucks then nobody would be tempted to sell. Therefore the only times they would come up for sale is through house clearances and with them, part of the history, being the box, would be lost forever!

Did any off you manage to read my post about the empty! Dr Who chocolate wrappers xxxx

1. No problem Mr.Poser:)
2, No I don`t I have friends:D
3. Never felt uncomfortable about filthy lucre
4 I`m Glad
5, WTF ????

1)You only seem to be reading into my post what you think i am saying.

2) Have a good day and stop trying to make me out to be something you know i am not:(

1) What am I or anybody else for that matter supposed to do. Would you prefer me to read something you weren't saying?

2) I wouldn't dream of doing so, and sorry if it comes across that way

As I said way above, this entire subject is rather tiring to me. To each their own I think the correct expression is.

1) I wish everyone would have a limit and stick to it. 99p would be good for me:D

You should know me well enough by now, to know that i don't exactly write it as i mean it to be read:D

2) You make it sound like i only collect because of it's worth:(
You forget that i have a great passion for Bull Terriers and i am fast become very passionate for all things Robert Harrop. Except for those dodgy bird houses:eek:
