That's a Buy It Now price greater than the winning bid on just about anything he's ever sold (except Deszaras, Monstructor, Galaxy Shuttle and that bootleg Liokaiser).
well can i have whatever he's on? My doctor says i need to be more optimisticQuote:

[edit] has anyone seen the ebay aus auction for the G1 soundwave (it's featured, so it's always on top of the search list) + the tapes? The seller is quite creative with her/his photo poses. Made me lol.
Yeah I was going to post that one myself. Here's the linkQuote:

which is WAY more than it should be going for (methinks someone is going to use the money to buy a nicer looking SDCC reissue), and I'm certainly not
recommending anyone buy it, but the photos.......
they're absolutely amazing. Two in particular look SO sad (or is it just me projecting?). He just looks so lonely, you just want to give him a big ol hug!

It's vhtf and vastly superior to the US energon release. Just the nature of an exclusive Japanese combiner.Quote:

Only it's not vastly superior - it's exactly the same toy as the Energon version with slightly different colours and as Fatbot says, physically it's exactly the same toy that's on shelves right now for $50. And it's not even a good toy to start with. Paying $220 for it would be loony. Plus it's a sad state of affairs these days if slightly different paint apps make something an exclusive. What happened to Japanese exclusives actually being exclusive, like Metalhawk, Mach Kick or Autrooper.Quote:

I think these would be pretty good if you manage to snag cheap $10 G1 targetmaster bodies. Sure as heck beats buying the tm's complete on ebay.

Depends on the collector that you are as well. For me, I like the displayability of the packaging as well as the toy and I find there to be real value in having better packaging and not to mention better paint apps.Quote:

I like the Hasbro release but it wasn't that spectacular. The life in the Henkei though makes it vastly superior in my opinion despite the base mold being the same.
Of course though if as you suggest you prefer simply the mold, then go for the cheaper one but I think there's still just cause for the Japanese one to attract value. Whether or not that is value to each individual collector is another matter.
