The Price Check/What is it worth Thread

[philby]

I went past a collectibles shop in melbourne and they had I think the Universe Special Edition Optimus Prime (comes in a black book style box with white art on it) and also the Megatron in the same edition. The guy wanted $90 for the Optimus. Is that reasonable or too much or not enough?

I was slightly confused because also in the same store, there was a differently packaged 'ultimate battle' 2-pack which seemed to contain the exact same Optimus Prime and a green painted Megatron, for only $60.

While I think the special black box looks pretty sweet, not sure if it is worth $30 more for what looks to be the same toy!

There was also a $40 classics Hot Rod I think, I've never had a Hot Rod figure so tempted to grab that unless again you guys think it's too much?

What kind of price would you pay for an encore 20/20a?

Cheers for any help!

I can't exactly answer you on the price, but that is one sexy-looking box condition.

I reckon 150-200. Sexy. Yes, very

I agree with TheShape, Galvatron looks good, maybe I would quote a little higher - in the region of $175-$200, its got the additional stryo and card pieces, robot points attached, box flap is pretty straight, tape still sealed on one end. I would assume the electronics still work. It would be a nice addition to any collection.

I think I know that store. Way overpriced. I reckon $40 tops for the black box style Optimus. Even then, it's not a good figure. Ditto for Megs.

If the Classics Hot Rod is the first release, his demand was high before, but there have been a couple released since then. Not too bad for a first release, haggle him to $30 if you can. $30 seems like a right price for him these days.

thanks for all the info!
can you tell me the exact type of optimus prime I'm talking about if you know? So I can look up some reviews in general. I find it hard to keep track of what version of what figure is what release, even with tfwiki....
