Although at 8000JPY ($86) he's by no means cheap, but I think he's worth it. No idea what aftermarket prices for the reissue would be, let alone for the original G1. The reissue does replace the whites with silver which looks nicer IMHO. The toy on its own has limited play value, but if you already have a collection of other Micromasters and Micromaster playsets, then I would recommend considering it if you can find it at a good price.
So I should think of him as a Micromaster accessory to justify spending the cash. Sounds much better put like that. The reissue would actually be the cheapest way to get a MISB Micromaster play set and since I've been thinking about getting more Micromaster stuff on and off for a while now I'll go for it. Thanks Gok!
