Major Von Schnitzel....?? You gotta love that name, which translates to something like "Major From Pork Steak".... :lol: :lol: "Von" meaning from in German, and a "Schnitzel" is a fried pork cutlet... :lol: 8)

So if this seller as these figs "in mint" condition, isn't any fig in a package unopened "in mint" condition.

Something is screwy here.

Also on eBay is a more reasonable fig:

mint also implies package aswell
fresh out of the box is better than tossed around a store shelf

i think draw to his store makes a difference aswell
he sells alot of items and many more people hit his items day to day than a one time seller

I don't know about the way he has the auction worded, but Rezz is a stand up guy, I've bought many items from him over the years, and have never had any problems.

He's a little expensive for his "buy it now" but that's the way the market is.

I picked up one of those Major Von Shnitzel's at Walmart and a loose one with a lot of figures on ebay a few years ago.

I was taught that Schnitzel is a thin, breaded steak.

I dunno where "chip" comes from. I'm fairly certain that that translator is off it's rocker. haha

Major of Steak!

Mmmm. Sounds delish.

You spelled it wrong, and that's probably where the translator failed you.
