Found an old Toyfare from 1999 at home..

Very surprised that a MIB Fort Max and Scorponok were averaging $800 and $220 respectively in 1999. There were a few around going at those prices when I first got into collecting 4 years ago. Still, everything on that list is so cheap compared to what it is today


...and in 2025 people are gona look back at the 2012 price guide and think we had it sweet with our G1 market prices

The funny part is that some prices have gone down since then.

They list Targetmaster hotrod for $300 MIB here and sunstreaker is about the same.

Haha! Yeh TM Hotrod was a real kick in the balls before the TFC reissue came out.

Anyway, thanks for sharing that scan!

That's why I reckon reissues are win-win for collectors. It lets some people get a reissue at a far cheaper retail price, and for G1 purists, it can reduce the inflated after market prices for vintage toys.

Reissues are also a sure way of getting the real deal too, with so many cheap knock offs flooding the market these days. Bit sad really, how things have changed the past couple of years.

Sunstreakers price has been affected greatly by the KO version that was released a couple of years back. The same can be said for Mirage and Wheeljack - the only 3 Autobot cars to not have been reissued and probably never will be due to their molds being lost.
