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... lol

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 )so combined shipping was $75.
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.

I know it's a very rare figure, at least I think it is. Even rarer in this condition but just a wee bit expensive

Three questions:

1) I was looking for a g1 ultra magnus- stumbled upon this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Transformers-Dia...item25597967d7

Such a beauty...

When was this released/ how rare is it? and What would be the max to pay?

I think theres 2 other BINs for Mint one for about 5-600..ughh..


2) Correct me if im wrong but wasnt there a takara reissue of g1 ultra magnus? im assuming this is rare and would be quite pricy since i havnt seen any on ebay

thing is I dont want the hasbro reissue with crappy missles and stuff... but i might have to settle for it now unless it is reissued later

3) How rare is the encore Soundwave? since Ive been looking and the cheapest one is about 90AUS including shipping off ebay.

I just want to know if this is a reasonable price- that is not too inflated/rip off.


Thanks

As the guy said in the auction, that is an exclusive eHobby reissue of the Diaclone Power Convoy. In Japan, Optimus Prime is Convoy and the 'ultra magnus' armour is actually the upgrade amour for Convoy making him Power Convoy. This reissue was released in 2002/2003 or thereabouts.

Not sure of market price but 5-600 seems a little excessive.

Yes, there were Takara reissued Ultra Magnus'. Ultra Magnus was reissued to death in the 2002/2003 period. They were released in standard colours, completely blue, completely yellow, completely black and then there was the eHobby Power Convoy reissue during the same period.

I would expect a standard colour reissue to be around US$100, but then, so are G1 MIB Ultra Magnus'.

There are no missile issues with the Hasbro reissue UM, but you will have to contend with short smoke stacks though.

In my reckoning, not very rare at all. I think AU$65 to AU$75 is a reasonable price to pay for it in Australia. In Asia (read - HK, SG), they were literally flogging these off for AU$35 a pop.
