I have this Leo available:

$80 + $10 shipping (US).

I am also pretty sure I have the Leo sword somewhere in storage. It is loose, but should otherwise be mint. I'm willing to take offers on it.

the white that is showing...is that plaster or resin? i take it the paint on these statues is not durable?

I believe the statue is resin. Paint flaking off was an issue with these. It does come off relatively easily under warm water. I would recommend stripping the paint and repainting it.

Maybe a year, year and a half ago, Laird found a pile of these statues and passed them on to the folks at Mirage, who then sold them off. It was poorly publicized, and as far as I can tell, one guy bought all of them at something like $50 each. These statues are all white, without the bronze paint. I bought one, for $100+, from the guy who snapped them up from Mirage. I also have a bronze one, which isn't in as poor shape as Rose's, that I found on eBay for like $40.

Honestly, they don't show up very often, though one of the white ones just sold on eBay last week for something like $65 plus shipping. The box was signed by Laird in 2010.

So as long as you can be patient, I think you can find one. If you're not patient or don't want to deal with the hassle--and I understand why--then you might talk to Rose since she's offering it here on the spot.

Just my two cents.
