So when the Moore Creations bots were released, back when dinosaurs ruled the earth (that is, before smartphones), I bought a Servo because I have a slight preference for him but, because I am a colossal pillock, I did not spring for a Crow. The Servo has sat out in my bedroom for going on 20 years now, always near the TV.
I regretted that a few years later, as he seemed lonely, and checked on availability of Crows. "Are you kidding?" was the response of the market.
So I thought, what the heck, I'll put it on my watchlist on eBay, just in case.
More than a decade goes by.
Then suddenly I get an email from eBay last year (I don't use eBay anymore and haven't for many years) telling me that a Crow is available! Ok, I can spring for about a hundred, maybe a bit more. Man was I surprised to basically sit at the sidelines and watch in wonder as the price went up and up and up until it sold for well over $300!
Then soon after another went up with a Buy It Now of about $350. Recently another BIN ... for $450! So was a carton of Crows discovered in a warehouse somewhere? Why have they surfaced after 15 or so years of silence?
Also, who pays $350 for a bust of a Rube Goldberg robot? I'm a professional and make a decent living but if I spent $350 for a Crow I'd be sick about it every time I looked at it, not the intended effect . You can buy one of those lifesize totally accurate Crows for less than that for crissakes....

You have no idea how much I would love to get a Moore Crow. It really pisses me off that they sell so much on eBay. I was lucky enough to have enough just to get a moore Servo.

I bought a set, Crow and Servo, back around '99/'00--I was just out of college and actually had some money for once.
They've been sitting on top of my Entertainment Center cabinet ever since.
They are very very cool and it doesn't surprise me that they are expensive now. I think they were all individually numbered.

You could get a functioning puppet made out of all the real (or repro) parts for less than that.

Sorry to bump this thread, but I just luckily managed to get a moore Crow for 199 dollars. Expensive, but you know what? It was totally worth it.
For those looking to get one as well, I wish you great, and I mean, GREAT, luck.

I think this is part of why I've never been good at collecting; even the really *great* prices seem like a stretch for me.

I think I would have spent $199 for one, and I recently saw one on sale for that price, but it was being sold from China, and I had some suspicion that it's counterfeit.

I've ordered a crow from MST3Kbots.com and am getting pissed. I paid $90 for expedited shipping and it should have been here over a week ago. Still hasn't shipped and the guy is totally ignoring my emails. We were talking back and forth until I actually made the purchase. Now he won't reply at all.

This is about the moore creations bot figurines, not custom-made puppets of the characters.

Wait, what question were you answering? And from when? The last post before you was almost two years ago.
