I think it was more a fluke than anything, but a year or so ago at a Perth Nexus, i picked up Hound and Tetsuwan Convoy picked up Blitzwing from the same seller for $40 each! So it's not impossible but.. unlikely.

From what I've seen, I think HD is pretty spot on with his guestimations of the reissues. For some reason I don't see as many TFC hounds or blitzwings compared to the others.
You can get a vintage loose complete C8-C8.5 blitz from ebay US auctions (not BIN) for $25-$30 easy. I've seen a few in the past fortnight sell for around that price. I'm currently hunting one too, so I've been monitoringCertainly a hell of a lot cheaper than the TFC one (When I first started collecting I remember seeing two of the MISB TFC's sell for $170US
)
Vintage Hound I think has always maintained relatively high market value. Maybe bc he's a tad fragile? Never had one myself, but broken hounds are always sold in old G1 scrap lots that frequent ebay. It may be difficult to find an original one for the right price, but if you want something in minty condition then the TFC release may be the better alternative. Not much of a price difference (IMO) between the two.

unless a real good deal for an original Hound or Blitzwing comes up, I'd recommend the TFC reissues for these reasons:
- TFC Blitzwing comes with his diaclone sword, which has a 'sharper' sword point and looks more like a sword than the original G1 release.
- TFC Hound for completness reasons. Missing jerry cans and badly damaged sub-machine gun for Jeep mode are always issues with loose Hounds and such a pain to hunt down individually.
- also, all TFCs comes with lots of added new art and tech sheets and mini posters within the 'book' cover itself.
I know whoop is a vintage purist and might not agree, heh.

Thanks SS... saw that earlier, but prefer one where sticker's are un-applied since I'm kinda picky when it comes to those sort of things... lolOriginally Posted by Sky Shadow

Hey board i was just wanting an opinion on the prices ive paid for these figures:
Transformers beast wars tarantulus 10th anniversary MISB $32.08
Transformers beast wars cheetor 10th anniversary MISB $26.56
Transformers beast wars dinobot 10th anniversary MISB $29.33
Transformers beast wars rattrap 10th anniversary MISB $24.90
Transformers beast wars waspinator 10th anniversary MISB $56.44
Beast wars reborn megatron vs optimus prime MISB $112
They were all brought from the same seller in auctions (major sniping involved
Personally im happy with the price, ive gotten 7 figures for $53 which is close to voyager retail for figures that are 4 years old incuding an exclusive Japanese set.
Also ive been strugling to find these Beast Wars figures in MISB condition after about 4 months searching , which is something i wanna write an opinion piece about (in the near future, just checking facts first)

Guys, what do you think of this?
Galaxy Shuttle MIB
I'm interested in Galaxy Shuttle cos i don't have one, but the asking price for that is simply outrageous.
Since I have not been on the constant prowl for Galaxy Shuttle, I'm not certain about market price. Any ideas of an approximate market price?

Oh man I almost choked. It looks sweet as but its worth more than my mum. I cant believe a transformer costs so much.

the guy has actually lowered the price from 1500pounds to 1000pounds. Nonetheless, its ridiculous.
