Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

[STL]

I cannot seem to find a reference for takara reissue collection price figures and quantity availability.

It seem mini-bots, insecticons and blitzwing sell higher than other TFC. Is this something to do with availability, popularity or something else.

The price variations differ so dramatically, i was wondering if people can help provide reasonale estimates on the TFC range in general.

thank you

I've been surprised myself. I have a few but don't have a few so I have been looking to get them myself. The prices are astounding and given I have all of them from other reissues or original versions in good nick, I'm only after TFC b/c of the quality of the packaging.

Based on what i've seen for several months now (Original approx RRP in brackets converted from yen):
TFC-00 Prime: $350 ($70)
TFC-01 Jazz: $45-55 ($35)
TFC-02 Prowl $60-70 ()
TFC-03 Skids $50 ($35)
TFC-04 Tracks $55-65 ($35)
TFC-05 Smokescreen $55-65 ($35)
TFC-06 Megatron $70-80 ($65) (good luck getting him into the country though)
TFC-07 Sideswipe $55-65 ($35)
TFC-08 Inferno $60-70 ($35)
TFC-09 Starscream $120 ($40)
TFC-10 Soundwave $150 ($55)
TFC-11 Astrotrain $60-$70 ($35)
TFC-12 Mini-Bots $150 ($35)
TFC-13 Hot Rod $60-$70 ($35)
TFC-14 Hound $55-70 ($35)
TFC-15 Ricochet/Stepper $40 ($35)
TFC-16 Insecticons $125 ($40)
TFC-17 Blitzwing $140 ($35)
TFC-18 Soundblaster w/ Ravage and Laserbeak $130 (65)
TFC-19 Perceptor $110 ($40)
TFC-20 Kup (targetmaster)/Wheelie $50 ($44)
TFC-21 Blaster w/ Steeljaw $110 ($50)

I'm surprised TFC-00 Prime is still so expensive despite the recent Encore re-issue. I'd been holding out for the price to drop b/c of the Encore but that unfortunately didn't happen.
