VSZ Streak, Skids, Saw Gift Set, is it worth it??

So on my adventures in Japan amongst the Black Zaraks and Gestalt Giftsets galore I have spotted this apparent rarest of the rare giftset. I use my Japanese and International Alvarez book as a good reference when buying items for plastic colour quality and cool crap that we don't see in Oz much, also HD is awesome, he has some great boxed TF stuff that you don't see much of either.
From what I can see HD doesn't have one of these sets, and Alvarez, although his book is way old now, says at that point he had seen one of these sets. Currently there is one I have found on e-bay at the mo' at over $1000.
So my question isn't about price (otherwise this would be in another thread) it is about personal value, the feeling of having this rare set in your hands, being able to gently open it and look at the coolness inside, yes the figures are relatively easy to pick up loosey goosey, although a good original MIB Skids seems to be getting harder to find thesedays.
Also I want to gauge how rare it is, how many of you on these forums of wise old collectors have one or have seen one.
I have picked up a Goodbye Megatron Giftset on this trip and everytime I hold it I am in total disbelief that I have one, to me that is what collecting G1 is all about, the fine details, looking at this item that was never in Oz or the US. Researching and seeing the variations from the US release, the old styrofoam casing and instructions. Yes it is love for a toy in a box :o

For me the feeling of having something rare is great and that you got for a "steal"/deal is the best. Buying something at full price for a rare item is just not for me coz I'm not that rich.

If it's mint, then the comparative rarity of Sunstreaker makes the set a better buy than some of the other G1 VS sets, and it looks great in a box, which is the main selling point of these Japanese sets today.

Yes I do like the fact that this set has windows on the box. Heading to the store to mull over this decision a bit more tomorrow and thouroughly check condition, which I didnt have time to do the other day, that may be where the decision lies, becuase a rare item in poor condition is fairly pointless.

I like the set purely for its history concerning Sunstreaker: pretty neat to own the set that was his only release then.

It really is a history piece, IMO, a piece which sparks discussion about the character choices, and Sunstreaker and his relationship there with Sideswipe and Red Alert, vs our view of solely 'Streaker and Sideswipe as siblings.

So I didn't end up getting this set, it just didn't give me the warm and fuzzies, instead I bought MIB and unused Star Saber and Victory Leo. Very very happy indeed :)
