I'm CERTAIN that this will interest a lot of people!

I'd be interested if I havn't already bought mine a few weeks back. But still, US$32.10 shipping for something so tiny...

Seems like this seller is shill bidding, but I could be wrong. There's this bidder g***m (1) who is always bidding on this seller's items, and the latest one was a reissue g1 megatron which was won by g***m (1), but then relisted again by the seller, but like I said, I could be wrong

Did you win them? If yes will you consider parting with Rotorstorms rotors?

Yeah I won them but I don't have a rotorstorm so I won't be selling the blades. But if you have his two cannons and half a dozen missiles and are willing to sell I'd buy of you:)

looks pretty good, but i have some doubts. I suspect there could be a fair few OPs released with those variations, rather than there being ONE prototype. Besides, i think it's unlikely that top companies actually boxed up prototypes but that's just me.

you know, tht's just crazy. People were selling Minerva and GS on TFW for around US$300 a pop (loose). $1K for Minerva is just.... excessive?

[liegeprime]

Not if someone beats you out on a piece, then you gotta pay even bigger bucks and probably wait even longer to find the parts you missed.

Well a good tip is to get only the helmet, headmaster and the body. For the gun and smaller head guns get Nightbeat's. You can get those waaay cheaper. Although there's a difference in handguns I believe. Looking at the price it's at now though, your still destined for the poor house after buying just the 3 parts.:(

Yeh I've been watching a few big G1 auctions that ended recently. All final bids were seriously more than double what I had anticipated. Price hike in vintage G1's perhaps?

It's crazy the price that Browning went for (from the same seller). I pegged that at US$700 max and by this morning it was US$860 already.

I'm just relieved that I don't have a large list when it comes to completing US and Jap G1 (up to 1989).

[kristofferrer]

yup that's crazy

[griffin]

Saw that the other day as well, and thought the same thing. They were sitting around the US$200 mark since they were released (never really saw them on auction, so never saw what their 'demand' value was) - but it just takes one over-priced listing to prompt others to bump up their prices, reguardless of if this one sells.
I still want that toy too, so this doesn't make me happy either.

[jaydisc]

I've been watching them since they've been released and even MIB (not S'd) ones seem to fetch over the US$300 mark. But $850, that's just stupid, and already there's a copy cat who's posted another at that price.

How dellusion is he...
I'd estimate a resale value of about US$400 for all of that, because they all look to be out of packaging, and nothing considered 'rare' in all of that.
It's almost like they did a search for each figure on ebay and sorted the results by value, taking the best sale price for each (which would be MISB value at that).

Azrael, fatbot, just how rare are these? Are they rare because they are EU only releases or is there just a demand for these because they are nice figures?

I've seen hardcore G1 ppl salivate over an MOSC AM Sideswipe and was puzzling as to why.

It's because they didn't get released in the states only europe, Australia, Canada and New Zealand - Back when our local Transformers were sourced thru hasbro uk. - hence high prices. I may be wrong however and will most likely stand corrected when someone else reads this.

I've seen hardcore G1 ppl salivate over an MOSC AM Sideswipe and was puzzling as to why.

I've owned all the 'Euro' Action Masters at one point or another. Since they were released here, I had Sideswipe, Tracks, Bombshell, Powerflash, Charger, Take-Off, Windmill, Double Punch and Circuit as a teenager, and I've accumulated all the others since then (and subsequently bought and sold them in ebbs and flows countless times. I keep buying and selling Action Master Thundercrackers in particular for some reason.)

Yes, the main reason for their inflated prices is that these are G1 toys (and in Sideswipe's case, 'Geewun' G1 toys) that were released in relatively limited numbers. If people want to 'complete' their G1 collection (which many more collectors are doing now than ever before) then they're competing for toys that don't exist in the numbers of the regular US G1 toys. On the other hand, in my opinion, all the 1991 Action Masters are great toys, and the Exo-Suit/Elite gimmicks are better than those of all the previous Action Masters. So it's a bit of Column A, a but of Column B.

Thanks for that explanation. So they're expensive because they were exclusive to EU in the same way the Jap exclusives are expensive because they were only available in a few countries.

OK guys, i've started AUCTIONING some of my parts off. Starting prices are WELL BELOW market price. I have to leave for overseas on the 22nd June. They ALL have to go. Payment can wait until the 18th June at the very latest. Search "transformers g1" on ebay AU and grab yourself something nice.

Precisely why I chose Japanese MIBs...and quality of the toy is usually better than a US/Span/Ital/Mex/FC MIB. You pay a little more for them, (I found 140% above US and the like) and you might have to learn to read Japanese but it was more than worth it.

haha, who's the scalper???

[Sky Shadow]

haha, who's the scalper???

Well... he's from Perth and seems to think that Drift is worth $70.

So it's probably Shane McCarthy. ;)

[Skullcruncher]

This seller has just listed a huge amount of AFA's

[bruticus]

well, judging by the rate that drift is being snapped up at all the local stores, i wouldnt be surprised if he reaches that price on the black market (AKA ebay) pretty soon.

and what was it that griffin said?
something about how all it takes is one seller to jack up the price for all other sellers to push up their prices and then it becomes the norm?

fingers crossed that they bring out more generations as i seem to have missed that boat. :(

[griffin]

haha, who's the scalper???

Strangly, that person only has the one toy listed. A real scalper is one who buys up a heap and lists them high to monopolise the market.

I think it is someone who knows there is interest and 2 month gap to America, and if one of them is desperate enough to buy it, I think it's good to finally have the tables turned for once.
(just as long as it doesn't start a trend and stores here are cleared out before us locals get to them)

No, I don't think I would be paying $800 for an incomplete Overlord

[5FDP]

Unlikely, I paid just under $25 each for mine. If he is going to ship overseas, there will be some impatient people that want them. Odds are they will go for at least $40 is my guess.

They ended up going for AU $25.49 and AU $31.00 respectively. Looks like he's not going to make any money off this :p Take that scalper scum :D

that doesnt make sense.
the top two winning bidders have over 1000 positive ratings. They're not inexperienced at this, so why would these be deliberate bids??

[5FDP]

They're probably not inexperienced. I reckon it's a case of shill bidding to drive the market value up on this stuff. The next person comes in and unknowingly wins one for under 100 bucks and goes away thinking they got a bargain. Happens heaps with unscrupulous sellers.

oh, you know, not just that. Shipping is over the top too. Quoted me US$50 to ship TM Blurr, Needlenose and Bumblejumper. Said it would cost the same if its just Bumblejumper, and no, there is no cheaper shipping method. Since buying on TFW2005, I know that things like that can be shipped from the US to AU in the same amount of time for approx US$10. What a rip off, that seller.

And snobbish too. I got the 'why are you asking so many questions, just to let you know I've been offered in the region of US$500 for my MIB Thunderwing. That's the kind of range you are looking at'.

I said, 'fine, I'll bid and let the market decide'.

Next thing I know, bam, he ends all the auctions I said I was interested in.

What an a$$hole.

Oops... you are right HD :o It was raviscollectibles. I recall that it sold for somewhere around 50k after it was relisted several times (once because a 5 yr old used the BIN option for a million dollars :p).

While the auction was active, I downloaded all the pics. There were some really impressive MIB / MISB pieces. They were also hosted on a personal website but that's since been taken down.

Apologies to all with strong views towards KO, I know I have too, but in this instance, I caved. This is a set I just cannot refrain from buying if I ever wish to complete the 1987 Japanese exclusives. :(

The box's art looks real good, I have been searching for Fort Max on everywhere recently but some of them actually came with KO Spike, wondering if that's what it is. If still got chance I actually don't mind to get a set myself just for Spike, since that will make my life more easier just to find a Fort Max body (and cheaper). :p

Yeah, the KO Spikes would have come from this source. These guys have been working on the Jap exclusive characters and have now decided to release them as a giftset. In fact, I would not be surprised that a good proportion of auctions for these exclusive heads loose in the past few months were in fact KOs.

The 6 exclusive heads are so difficult to find and so expensive when you find them that its no even funny. Each of them cost a minimum of $250 (if you're lucky) and up to US$600 (check eBay for Karku/Kirk that seller anglo is selling now). Think Spike is expensive? No, not really compared to these guys.... hahahahaha.... :p

Half Rant:

Ive been looking for this upgrade set for a while and while no online retailers have it (that I can find), Im just amazed and kind of pissed at EBay.. surprise, surprise.

Ignoring the massive shipping cost:

One can argue Ebay determines the market price, but still- imo i think those listing prices are massively inflated, considering the original pricing for the upgrade kit is around 50 US and estimating the ROTF superion- about 40US. (RK sells it at this price currently, exclusive of shipping).

And also amazed at the seller's starting bid- he/she expects it to go higher...

For those prices, I dont think I will be obtaining this piece, ever.

I give up...

Ive wanted this for ages! and have just spent a crap load to complete my 1/6 Metal Gear Solid figures, and now someone lists it when i don't have the money for it :mad:

[kristofferrer]

For those prices, I dont think I will be obtaining this piece, ever.

I give up...


Hey buddy - i can empathize with your concerns.
One way around this is to actually negotiate with the seller. You'll find you'll can get away with reducing this (I've used bargaining techniques).


ok - i dont really endorse the following:...

Another way i've worked around this is to reduce the sellers cost to ebay. to recreate the bid and make it available to me only (private bid). I then asked him to increase the shipping price and decrease the sale price; ultimately this reduces the price he pays to ebay.

Not that i recommend it, but i've made transaction outside of ebay - using paypal only.

To expensive for me that Star Saber and MISB is a complete waste of time as it wouldn't be that way for long if I bought it :D

Would love GS. But not the zone box and not for that outrageous price.

What giftset did you get? :p

I think MISB pieces of that nature are a waste of time (and money). Might as well get an empty box and fill it with paper weights.

MISB Road Caesar Giftset.

Nice!

Just to clarify, what I said about MISB Star Sabers don't apply to the Road Caesar giftset because that has the clear plastic window where one can actually see the toys. I still think that MISB toys like Star Saber, Vic Leo, Overlord, Scorpy, Black Zarak, Fort Max and etc is a waste of money. No offence to anyone. :p

It's crazy huh. Mine are still not here yet because the seller entered my address as "XXX Australia 2000, Singapore" and it got returned to him. :confused: Sign. Hope I get it end next week.

That's a pretty nice GS, but for the yellowing. Personally, someone would be hard pressed to make me pay more than US$450 to $500 for GS MIB in Victory box. A few months back, this UK seller sold an absolute gem (= next best thing to MISB) of a GS for US$650. So by extension, any higher than that would be too high. Also, as Jay mentioned, the TFW guys have been selling GSs on the boards between Jan and April this year for around US$350 a pop, MIB.

Just indications though. At the end of the day, one will pay what one feels is worth it.

the seller offered it to the "Holy Grails Owners" goup on TFW2005 on Friday for US$6,000. Pity, if its not AFA and slightly cheaper, I might actually go for it. I don't want to buy something in the plastic prison.

thanks sir. This is the second time he's listing that. I know him from Singapore and I asked about it a few weeks back. He then just listed it at that (shall I say, very unpalatable price) and said 'here you go', as if I was being done a favour.

Not sure whether a Zone GS is worth that much, but I sure as heck am not paying more than a grand for GS...

Transformers Generations - Chinese version (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170516357772)

Not has good as the Japanese version (see Heroic's comments below) but a cheap alternative if you can't find an original version.

Transformers Generations - Chinese version (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170516357772)

So instead of having a book where you can't read the Japanese, you can have the same book but in a different language you can't read.

But the quality of the photos doesn't seem to have changed and as all of us who have Generations will tell you, the quality of the photos in the Japanese version is excellent.

this would be a version which I can read. the name translations are pretty suss and the photo quality is actually not as good as the Jap version. I have both and the Chinese one is the 'rough use' copy, while the Jap one is kept pristine. :D
