Would be great if we had crystal balls.

Thanks for the help on God Ginrai, it helped alot.
Another "what's it worth" from me.
What's G1 Sixshot worth and was he ever reissued?
Also, I have seen a version with purple wings, is this a fake?

not sure what its worth now since I don't actively look.

It was reissued once in a Japanese G1 box.
Sixshot's wings are actually slightly purple, they are not white.

Sixshot skyrocketed like crazy after ROTF. I know many G1 prices inflated after the movie, but sixshot was literally going for double the $. I remember bc I was hunting one down myself. I think it's currently holding steady at about $80-100US loose complete despite being reissued as well as darkov from tfw2005 producing heaps of custom rifles for sixxy. Maybe $150-$200 for a MIB complete one?

Those prices are based loosely on my experiences of hunting in recent months though

The one I saw had deep purple wings. I'd show you but the auction is gone now, probally ended.
Most of the others I have seen are an off white color, I'm assuming they all look vaguely like this: http://tfwiki.net/w2/images2/7/74/G1Sixshot_toy.jpg

hmmm... you could be right. I did remember that Sixshot's wings are slightly purple (off whitish purple). I dont have a Sixshot on hand here to verify. Might have to wait for another member to confirm.

Thinking about finally adding some G1 to my collection, but only really after these two guys since they have a special place in my heart from my childhood:

Hound
Blitzwing

So, my question is, how much should I be paying for either MIB or MISB Takara Transformer Collection Series ones (the re-issues that came in the book style packaging)?

Fortunately, these are two of the cheaper TFC figures (relatively).

I paid about $45 each when they were first released, but realistically, I think you might be looking at $65-70 for Hound and $70-75 for Blitzwing now, not inclusive of shipping.

That's my hunch though, but I'm sure eBay would reveal the 'market price' for these.

PS: I recommend getting all the TFCs if you are thinking of dabbling into G1. As I mentioned here, each TFC came with that little something extra that makes them all the more worthwhile.
