Five Idiots Talking Toys | Star Wars, LEGO & MoreShow Notes
Heritage Auctions just pulled the ultimate Wiff by extending a "May the 4th" Star Wars auction after items were already marked SOLD. Discover how "secret bids" miraculously jumped right before the new deadline and why this is a massive Wiff for the collecting community. Whether you're hunting for a rare Yak Face prototype or a paint master Chewbacca, this situation is a major warning for every toy collector. We break down the 25% buyer premiums, the "conflicting schedule" excuses, and why Rogue Five Toys is the Win you actually need for your consignment.
