$100 for empty G1 boxes?!

[canofwhoopass_87]

200bucks just for one empty box?!?!

When I think about it, the only reason anyone would buy a empty box is so they can try to make it appear as though its in mint condition. But I would imagine that to be hard to do not to mention its just plain right dodgy. How would less knowledeable people like myself be able to discern which "rare" TF's are worth forking out the extra money for if we can't tell whether its original or not?

From what I'm reading the general consensus is to keep rarer boxes which makes sense. But I'm such a sucker for keeping junk I think I'll just keep the cases of all the TFs I bought in Japan and chuck away the ones I've bought here is oz.

Well it is $200 for fort max, but yeh it is a fair amount. A lot of g1 sellers rely on that that "itch" of collecting boxes (which I found was a more potent form of collecting more than just tech specs and instructions) and in the past year or so have really been jacking up the prices. Thank god I got over my itch, otherwise I'd be poverty ravaged. Moreso.

Those BBTS examples have the cardboard backing and blister - which is even more rare.

Me, I don't want the box. I want the toy that's inside the box. I can't really play with the box, can I?*

*Well, I can stick the box on my head and pretend I'm a Dalek, but I would prefer the toy.

G1 / G2 Boxes are worth a bit, anything beyond that is pretty much worthless.

Hey! I play with different kinds of "Transformers boxes" - although I don't pay for them.
