But why.

[Slag]

Just had a question regarding the value of Grand , Fort (Japan and u.s) and Brave Max.
Does anyone know what the retail on these 4 guys were back in the day?

Does anyone think there are any modern day transformers that are going to appreciate as much as some of those rarer g1's?

I can understand Japan (or 1 country) only releases are going to be more valuable in future due to lesser numbers being produced. But are there lesser numbers of certain molds being produced even when they're only sold in 1 country. Like maybe Artfire for e.g.
Is Artfire worth more than a real Stepper , is it because he has more easily lost or broken parts, or were there less produced?. (Was artfire less popular in the day, being the cause of less production) (did the re-issue of Stepper kill a real Steppers value)

Same with Minelba vs Go-shooter. I personally prefer the look of Go-shooter over Minelba. Same with Siren over Nightbeat.
But I see Minelba generally go for more then Go-shooter.. Were there more go shooters produced ,or is it just the masses prefer Minelba. (Probably a better comparison than inferno over jazz)

I could be wrong on 1 or all accounts. but that's just what i've been noticing lately.
