Unreleased Gen2 toys on ebay

[SuspectimusPrime]

Holy hell. This has to be the most expensive TF item ever sold?

My thoughts exactly - Holy Satan.

[MayzaPrime]

Those 5 figures are worth half of my collection... and I have 1700+

Could this be the ultimate holy grail?

For 26 grand... you could get every G1 toy from series and 1 and 2 all MISB.

I know what i rather have

No matter what it goes for, it would be an investment piece if kept sealed.
I'm thinking it will go over $25,000.

And the winner of the no prize goes to Bossbot. Rigged!

Here's the winner owning up to the purchase, and answering some questions (scroll down the topic a few pages).

As someone who only just recently became a "member" of the pre-production/sample toy club myself, I know that it is probably both exciting and frightening to the winner... who will treasure it for his own personal reasons, but that final price will tarnish the gloss a bit.

Interesting to see that he's conflicted between keeping them sealed or opening them up to play.

[Sinnertwin]

If you've got, why not?

Exactly.
We may scoff at the prices paid, but there are far more expensive things in the world that people spend their money on.

Every hobby has its "whales". People born in to wealthy families or people who have done really well etc. $26k to them is like $260 to us normal folks

People have paid over a million dollars for a comic before (Action 1/ Tec 27) so this is still child's play compared to that

MISB bumblejumper - how cool would that bee
