The Price Check/What is it worth Thread

[Jetfire in the sky]

If you get lucky you might pick one up for $250. But that would be the low end of the price scale.

I'd consider waiting a bit on that one, personally.

We know TakTom was very pleased with how Encore Fort Max did, and we don't know what's coming up there, only that it's being said we'll get another big figure in the future. To what degree that is true, and who it'll end up being if true, is of course, another debate altogether.

But the two most bandied about are Scorponok or Trypticon. Rumour? Probably. We've been expecting Encore Scorponok for years thanks to that brochure from eons ago.

But it may be worth pondering, what if it is true? In that case, will I be sorry I just forked out for the original, or am I happier with an original anyway?

Food for thought. Or more accurately, food for rumour.

KO scorpy is already out - just a matter of time some scumballs start parting them out and selling the weapons individually. Could be a KO Trypticon next.

I'd be inclined just to get a Trypticon now. $300 complete with eveything bar box would be my budget.

The only G1 item I recall ever being reissued by hasbro/takara after a KO has hit the market is the constructicons, and judging by the quality of them it looked like they used the same molds as the KO's Keep hoping just dont hold your breath.

How much is D-93 scorponok worth now?

[Jetfire in the sky]

Looking around the $400 mark complete. Like Trypticon Scorpy has seen a steady rise in recent years, and is harder to find at a cheap price. There are a few on e-bay at the moment best buy is probably this but postage is high.
