A loose Japanese Grandus from 1991, with a yellowed Micron (Micromaster), auctioned off and getting 48 bids.... US$910 (about AU$1000).
I didn't think it was that rare. Imagine how high it would go MISB, or with a box. (another JP Gen1 toy on my list that I'll never get )

US$800 for some JP Headmaster Heads... they'd want to be the originals and not the 2010 KOs. (Trizer, Lione, Rodney)
It's interesting to see that the price-tags still on them, say that these were originally sold (in 1987) for just 250 yen (that's only about AU$2.80).
That would have to be one of the best investments I've ever seen for a TFs toy (probably even better than the Dino cassettes, which would have retailed for more). From US$2.80 to AU$880 in 17 years... that's about 32,000% profit, or about 1,800% increase in value each year. Imagine that sort of return on an investment.... buying a hundred of each in 1987, and you'd be set for life.
JUST A WARNING - I was bidding on some of this person's items, and the same shill bidder with zero feedback came along and pushed up several of their auctions in the last half hour... and then cancelled a bid on one item when they went above the maximum bid of the current winner.
The seller may well be innocent of this, but this isn't the first time it has happened to me on rare JP Gen1 items, just because the seller wasn't getting as many bidders as they had hoped (and then offer it to me at my max bid instead of what I would have won it at if they weren't in on the shill bidding scam).


And now for something completely different. On the creepy end of the Transformers scale... I'm guessing that a comic book featuring the holographic girl from Car Robots/RID in a really wrong pose, with "ages 18 up", I don't think this is your ordinary IDW type of Transformers comic. The lack of Transformers or Takara branding, suggests that this is a fan-produced "3rd party" project, meeting the needs of the Japanese guys whom Kissplay was aimed at.
