For all those troubled by the Colin prop being put on eBay: the thing to remember about trying to resell a prop at twice the price so soon after the auction in which you won it, is that if people were willing to pay that, they would have outbid you in the first place.

No. 14 has now gone. Am signing off for the night so any further messages will be responded to tomorrow. Please make sure you have read all the important tweets with instructions and information about all this.
Right folk. That's been a manic 90 minutes. It comes as no surprise to say nearly everything has been snapped up. Just a few figures remain.

I meant to add (and this is my fault for not specifying earlier ) - the lettered examples I would prefer to sell as pairs as the headless body goes with the complete figure. I'm not ruling out individual sales but will give priority to those buying both.

As expected I have been instantly swamped with messages and am trying to keep up with everyone in order. Please bear with me as I try to keep up. Thank you.
Right folks. Here are what remain available. As noted, prices exclude shipping which will be worked out once I actually have them in my possession. Alternatively I should be able to take to Awdry Ex for collection there.

Please remember - I won't sell the whole lot to one person. Payment must be within 7 days via PayPal.

Polite reminder of this post before I get too many messages. Just trying to keep it fair. Thank you.
Details will follow soon about specifics, but I will not respond to any requests for first dibs before listing them for sale. Equally, I will not sell EVERYTHING to one person - as mentioned, I want it to be fair and for as many as possible to get an opportunity. (Read on).

Just to let people know so you are prepared, figures will be £160 each. There are a couple without heads though and these will be £120 each. These will be clarified on the listings.

I expect to be inundated with messages once the listing goes up. I will do my best to respond to people in order and ask people don't keep messaging as it will take longer to work through it all. I will be fair and will not sell everything to one person, so please have patience.

While I cannot control who buys them, I would politely ask that those who have props already please allow those who do not have anything first opportunity. I cannot vet people so put my trust in you. Equally, I ask those who are buying do NOT try to immediately resell at a profit.

I will require payment for the figures within SEVEN DAYS; I appreciate this is a big ask but given the level of expense I have endured to do this, I cannot be so vastly out of pocket for too long. Failure to pay will see figures relisted. Shipping can be paid once cost is known.

I am currently paying for these; as I do not yet have them physically I CANNOT CURRENTLY provide shipping quotes, however anyone going to AwdryEx will be able to collect from me there. I WILL ship internationally however you MUST pay for a service that covers the value.

The figures available are Wharf-scale passengers, so while nothing glamorous they are at least SOMETHING at least semi-affordable for those of you who missed out to be able to obtain.

Okay folks - update time. Been away which is why nothing has yet happened. Just confirming which figures are available and will post shortly. If you are interested, please reply to THIS TWEET if I need to follow you so you can message me through DMs.

Interestingly, I'm already hearing of some items being offered by others at a profit, which is rather sad to find out particularly when some of thoseon offer are from lots I was outbid on. Such is the nature of this world I guess.
These will be sold at a price where we will make NO PROFIT. We want as many people as possible who missed out to have the opportunity to own something and it would not be right to profiteer from that. (Read on).
