Air Raiders Complete Auction

Some number of months ago, The Uncle created the idea of the Pandora's Purchase - namely that someone with a collecting mentality can sometimes make a single purchase, which throws wide the floodgates and unleashes an unstoppable drive to complete that collection. This image helps to further illustrate the point.

In other toy ruminations: I've got to learn more about Air Raiders, and the specific figures and generals which lend great value to the line. I have nearly all of the vehicles and playsets, though they could bear some greater care, organization and certainly display on the Preserve as very few are yet posted.

Sometimes, though, I see things like this eBay Watch and I am just puzzled at the great price it commands. I believe that some of the 'leader' figures are considered super rare - especially a few mail-ins that were available, but this definitely appears to be a series which benefits greatly from the notion that the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts.
