Beast Wars X-9 rare or not?

[primatives]

Hi I have this Beast Wars X-9 from Japan and was wondering how much it is worth?? its been opened twice and only transformed once but its back in the box just sitting there in storage.

[llamatron]

If I was a horrible selfish person I would tell you it was worth $5 and try to buy it from you.

It's roughly worth around $150 - $200 AU.

I heard this one can fetch quite a price. I have zero interest in it though :D

[kup]

I bought mine for $30! but the typical price is $150-$200 but they appear to have gone down a bit in reccent times so you may score one for $120 (US currency)

I paid $150 U.S for mine MISB and that was about a year ago, I might add that was the cheapest price I could find at the time.:rolleyes:

I so did not need that part of my childhood resurrected. :p

And yeah, X-9 is expensive and I've been looking for him for awhile. I figured I'll just wait till next year though.

I have a feeling that the prices are going down because US demand is seizing due to the financial crisis. I wonder if the same is true for the other expensive toys?

[1orion2many]

:)I'm still ahead as the Aussie dollar was worth a lot more when I bought mine:D.

[Verno]

Hugely rare! Mine is worth $250 at least! Mainly cos its mine.

:eek:OMG:eek:, off to castle Anthrax with you young Autocon for a sound spanking. It is actually G1 Ravage who was one of the few Decepticons to appear as a proper character in Beast Wars besides Starscream if my old memory isn't playing any tricks.

NO SOUP FOR YOU!

[llamatron]

I regret passing on one for about $100 back when the dollar was in the 90's. :(

[Gutsman Heavy]

in Autocons defense X-9 is a horrible name that gives no indication of character

[GoktimusPrime]

The toy's name is Jaguar, which is Ravage's name in Japan (just as Optimus Prime is called Convoy). X-9 is merely the toy's Beast Wars Metals series number, which most people know refers to Ravage (hence why everyone just calls it X-9).

I also paid about $20-30 for mine when it came out 9 years ago. :) I actually bought too, but I traded off my spare ages ago. :p

Indeed. Although the toy's alt mode is a mechanical jaguar, whereas in the show he still transformed into a cassette tape. Originally Mainframe wanted to Ravage to insert himself into the cassette player aboard his starship and play the G1 theme song but they were unable to secure the rights for that music... but they still animated it. So that's why we actually see Ravage transforming and inserting himself into the cassette player but nothing is actually played. Still, it was an awesome thing to watch... "Decepticons Forever!" :D

There were other G1 characters who appeared in Beast Wars - although not in the show. They include Grimlock, Prowl II and the members of the Maximal Imperium - Prowl, Ironhide and Silverbolt (former Aerialbot and an entirely separate character from the Fuzor of the same name).
