Yer mp's are pretty expensive if you pick em up from hobby/anime stores in the CBD. I saw ultra magnus mp for $650 :eek: on bourke. You might be able to pick one up for less than rk's AU$158.79 on ebay if you do a bit of haggling ;)Quote:

So what are people looking at paying for MP Grimlock at the moment? (does that include shipping to AU)
Discussion on MP Grimlock pricing continued here:

what would a shackwave be worth these days?
i know its not a real transformer but its close enough.
its only gota have the bot, with working electronics and the barrel cover.
also whats an incomplete superlink prime worth, with all the bots, just no guns etc?
ta
Shackwave isn't a Transformer, but I don't think it's an illegal KO either. I believe Radio Shack actually acquired the rights to release a version of Astro Magnum (pre-TF Shockwave) - reference. But be aware that Shackwave and Shockwave don't only differ in colour, there is also a slight mould difference - principally in the trigger. Shockwave has the "modesty plate" whereas Shackwave does not.

Left: "Shackwave," Right: Shockwave
As for how much Shackwave would sell for now, I honestly have no idea. :/
Are you talking about Super Link Grand Convoy or Energon Optimus Prime? Aside from colours the Takara and Hasbro versions also have different electronic gimmicks*. When you say "all the bots" I guess you mean the Super Mode version with the four vehicles. It could be worth more if it's one of those rare "mouthed" Hasbro variants too.Quote:

*Energon Optimus Prime has a sound gimmick but no LED. Super Link Grand Convoy has an LED gimmick (the hole in the middle of his "matrix" in his chest lights up) but no sound gimmick.
I'm pretty sure shackwave can be bought for half the price of an orginal shockwave, but I've only ever seen 2 or 3 of em being sold. As for Mp8, I think 200-210 shipped is pretty decent. Esp considering RK jacked up their prices. Very unfair that they do that. If an item sells fast in the early stages (which obviously ALWAYS happens on popular figures) RK do a pricejump whereas other online stores don't, unless it's a few years down the track. Find that very annoying...greedy fools.
Also, how much do loose complete G1 U.S Headmaster Chromedomes go for? Not very familiar with the 87 figures
This is what I have seen in the past: All prices in USD
- Star Convoy: $70
- Sky Garry MIB: $70
- Sky Garry Loose: $60
- Metalhawk MISB: $250
- Metalhawk loose: $175
- Minerva MISB: $400
- Minerva Loose: $180-250
- Deathsaurus MISB: $250
- Deathsaurus loose: $120
- Liokaiser loose - $180
- Liokaiser MISB - $350
- Thunderwing Loose - $110
- Nightbeat loose - $75
- Nightbeat MIB - $200
- Siren loose - $70
How much does BW Spittor (not the Transmetal II version) usually go for? How much difference in price would there be between loose and in-package?
anyone have an idea what my MISB masterbraces are worth?
Hey guys,
I'm going to need to acquire some more encore re-issue soon once i have my collection back in the coming months so i'd like to know about what i should be paying, either through import or preferably OTCA members.
I'll be looking for
Omega spreme
Metroplex
skylinx (if cheap)
e-hobby City Guardian (if not brutal)
cheers
Lint
NOOO dont sell them. you'll never seen them again. i saw my set ONCE! never have i seen another set for sale or in a collection. i know they exist for a few people but i'd say you'd really have to ask if you wanted them back.Quote:

I have both Goshooter & Ginrai
From what i've seen, both on forums and ebay over the last couple of years, most headmasters can be bought for an average of $70USD complete with nothing broken.Quote:

Never bought a MP before so is $115 a good price for a MP Skywarp shipped?
Yes. :)
MP Skywarp retails for 10290JPY which converts to about 143.60AUD according to XE.com.
Sweet. Thanks GoktimusPrime:)
No, that's a crap price. :D Get this one:

-Sabreback
-Magmatron
-Big Convoy
I'm assuming complete and not necessarily MIB.
You can get a Korean Big Convoy for quite a bit cheaper than than the Japanese one (no difference in the actual toy from what I understand, just the packaging). Liqdeal on eBay has his own direct web store at toyarena.com where he sells it for US$40
http://toyarena.com/transformers-bea...oy-p-1627.html
I have some coupon codes that should get you $5 or 10% off. PM me if you need them.
EDIT: He might have more from your list too. I'm just not familiar with BW (except for Big Convoy).
I was offered Henkei red alert, smokescreen and hound for US$106 via registered air parcel with "tracking" today. Is this a good deal? (i have none of these moulds)
All Henkei? That's about A$50 each. Fine for hound, but a bir pricey for Red Alert and Smokescreen. You can get them for A$33-37 shipped if you participate in a group order.
I guess it is pretty pricey. It's not like hound is an exclusive and won't get restocked at hlj or rk, right? (i hope)
All reliable sources I've heard from and recent trends indicate that there will be no more Hounds. I'd expect a restock of Smokescreen and Alert late May marking the last Henkei shipment [hopefully not] ever.
Damn. That's not very inspiring. I would think due to demand more would be produced. I would never have predicted it would be such a sought after item. Is this the same for any other henkei? (Cyclonus comes to mind)
Let me clarify the basis of my opinion...
I've been watching stock levels at a few resellers over a period of 6 or so months. This is well after the release of Henkei 1.0 (everything up to Skyfire and Ramjet), so I can't comment on any trends with those figures. With Henkei 2.0, any figures released on Takara's monthly release day would also have a restock the following month's release day. And after that, I would not see stock levels rise again.
Hound had a restock as expected, but sold out quickly thereafter. I would say that Cyclonus followed suit, although no where near as quickly. I would predict that Ironhide and Lambor are next to go.
So that's where my opinions have come from. Additionally, RK also explicitly told me that they expect no more, and HLJ has Hound marked as discontinued.
RK had 50 Red Alerts yesterday. Today they have none. It is possible they're sitting in uncompleted carts. If so, they'll be back tomorrow. We'll see.
