WCW Steel Slammers, few questions

[Flameboy]

I'm hoping someone can give me some information on these. I'm sure I asked about these a couple of years ago but i'm not sure so here goes.....

I'm clearing out some old stuff and came across these today, which I totally forgot I owned:

Can anyone tell me what they're worth? After searching ebay for the item I came across a set BIN $99 but that set includes a figure of "The Giant" inplace of Goldberg, all other figures are the same. Is there a rarer variant, or was it to do with the country they were released in or something like that?

I'm not expecting them to be worth much and think the $99 set it someone being very optimistic, but an actual rough estmate of what it's worth an some information on the figure variant would be really appreciated.

Thanks for reading!

Bought mine for $3 in 2004, my set has the Giant.

if you put them on e bay you could expect to get about $20 for them. nice set.

[Flameboy]

I'd like to get a little more than that, lol! It has more chance of going in the bin in that case, won't be worth the effort to post it

EDIT: That was aimed at Ruby Fusions response, $20 would be much better.

Thanks for the replies both!

i hope the giant isnt worth anything because i gave mine away

my set is like yours also and is worth nothing near $99.00. That is why it has been for sale since July and will continue to be for alot longer. I think paid less than $10.00 for it a few years ago which I thought was a low price.
There is also a 4 pack with Hogan, Savage, Sting and DDP as well as individual ones of each. The seller's ad indicates they came out in 1998 as did both my 8 and 4 packs, but the single ones came out in 1999 per my packaging.
I do not think they have increased in value as noone seems to mention them. I would think you could sell them for $20.00 max. There is not much you can do with them as the steel will dmage any other figures they come in contact with (or you).

Ebay ofcourse, cost me $15 shipping...

[Ldeow]

Oh right i understand.

I thought you meant you found it in a store hahah.

I bought that set in KMart back when it was released and loved it because of the details of the figures. I still have all the figures loose on a shelf with the WCW bears and added the keychain Goldberg to the set. I never saw any more of the steel ones after that though.

My set came with the Giant as well.

I guess the answer is $5.74. I purchased one for that amount today + shipping, with The Giant, so now I have the one with the variant.

[Flameboy]

I just sold it on ebay for £6.50 plus shipping. Happy enough with that and hopefully going to someone who'll appreciate it!

[figurecollector]

I guess I got the better deal!

[Flameboy]

Lol, well in the context of selling I got a better deal as $5.74 would've only given me £3.60

[figurecollector]

Well, I was taking the likely shipping cost to the US into account. I guess we both proved that $99 is not the going price. LOL.

[Flameboy]

Haha! Most definatley! About $94 over the value it would seem!

how tall are these guys in comparison to build and brawl or micro aggression?

[figurecollector]

With his hand up, DDP is 3" and The Giant appears that height. Goldberg is 2 3/4".
