I've resisted sleeving my stuff til now... I just figured I'd play this game to the ground and be done with it. But... selling it is such a viable option if by some unlikely chance, I get bored of it.
Also. I feel like a fool. I had several opportunities to buy this plane at MSRP.
And, this thing was obviously used right?

Crazy Just plain Crazy.
Ye gods you can buy a Shapeways for what about $20 & an easy paint all CDL plus some Crosses & you are all but set.
wow! wish id bought more then one!!!!
I bought two - my second is still here, mint in box.....................
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
I have two as well. The first I bought from Evan in Australia for $40 or $50 back in 2014 or 2015.
The second was part of a package deal.
Ares needs to get going with with reprints of Series V.
I think even the Moranes would sell now.
The problem with that plan is when I retire, I'll want to be playing more of this game.
Paul, same here. I cleared out several games to make room for my planes. Love the game!
Count me in, I also dropped a lot of other games (I would have probally never played). And selling most of my magic decks helped alot to get the starting money for the planes.
Some games are stil left (7 Magic decks, HeroQuest, Blitzbowl, Aventuria, Zombies!!! Collectors Box)....apart from the kids games.
I sold all of my Magic (Cardboard Cocaine) as well as my other CCG. Also got rid of all my Warhammer 40K. Now I have an airfield of planes to fly!
I only sold my X Wing for WoG. But when considering a new boardgame, I no longer see dollars for cost. I see planes.
E.g. Tiny Towns set me back two single seater planes.
Oh right....there was x-wing....got rid of all my 1.0 stuff before the prices got really Bad.....it was way to complex with all ist cards and Extras....no chance to Play with "non Hardcore Gamers"
Sachsenberg - $115.50
Schafer. - $147.50
Stark - $114.68
Those are the winning bids of the last 3 Fokker D.VII's that I was involved in bidding on. What's next? Locusts? Water turning to blood?
Crazy out there. But I got my Jacobs Albatros D.Va, to fill out my another slot in my collection.
I just want it to be known that I ordered sleeves for this game for the first time. And seeing a plane go for 200 was the reason why.
Derrick, thanks. I will have to try some of those. The sleeves I found where too long. I will give these a go.
I got mine for $65
I see a Balloon Busting box (virtually new -opened but with cards still unwrapped and tokens still unpunched) just bought on ebay for £132.00 + £3. 96 postage.
I had to choose between Axis & Allies: Angels 20 or Wings... I think I made the right call, since Ares is back and AAM is dead.
oooooooh la la
ABSOLUTELY CRAZY... cant understand why anyone would pay that amount
Never Knowingly Undergunned !!
Probably for speculation! Buy high, hoping to sell higher
I hope not...........
There is another brown balloon listed @ £140 + free P&P as a start price, which is now going around for its NINTH time, with no bidders!
Anyone hoping to get MORE than £137 will be out of luck!
Personally I think it's just a couple of players who just can't wait any longer for 'Ares' to get off their bum and reprint; either that, or, as DB said, folks just desperate to complete their collections.
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
I thought I paid a lot for my balloons. But wow,
Makes you wonder why Ares doesn't get on the ball and reprint the balloons. They will sell out that is for sure!
