Interesting, rare and sometimes cheap ebay items.

The nature of these collectors' collections is somewhat beyond the realms of reason or belief (pick one). Multiples of rare Japanese pieces (same guy above also has like 3 Minerva - one loose, one MIB, one MISB, etc), MIB US G1 and AFA graded pieces of the entire 1984 to 1985 line (excepting Megatron for obvious reasons). And this is just one guy. Another guy has the entire G1 Japanese run, all MISB, all AFA graded. Now imagine there are another 70+ collectors like him (cos that's the size of that invite only group, which I'm a part of but a small potato to be sure).

Wow!....
I've always been aware as to the existence of this type of collector, but now that I've got a much firmer grasp and understanding of collecting...

My mind boggles at these guys as surely their resistance to temptation, determination in procuring, diligence in handling and their ability to throw huge sums of their earnings into their passion, is truly astounding!
I've the utmost respect and amazement in your approach to collecting Heroic, but from what you've described above mate - these guys are on a completely different level huh?


I believe this falls into the Rare and Cheap categories, at least as of late anyway:

Complete Loose Euro G1 Autobot Thunderclash - $79.99USD (Located in Newcastle)

Almost complete (it's missing Thunderclash's small gold gun.) Still a good price, though.

These aren't actually Kabaya kits - I think they may be the Korean Kukje versions. Still, certainly an interesting auction:

Nice. Pity that the customiser didn't do something about the front wheels to change them into tracks or something. I wouldn't be 100% satisfied with this piece if I bought it.
