Abit disappointed yet excited with this G1 statue figure
Hard Hero Wheeljack bust, Wave 2 Movie Robot Heroes (Protoform Jazz, WTF?) and BWN Longrack. Thank you BBTS and the exchange rate. Worked out to be about $110 all up for the lot including shipping etc.
After many years, many missed auctions, and the threat of KO's, I finally managed to get myself a G1 Gnaw with all his weapons, absoloutely gorgeous chrome, and 100% original.
And it only cost me $126
But I didn't care about the price. It was complete and not a KO and i've been after him for a long long time and i'm fairly certain he's last the figure I need from the movie cast.
It always puzzled me as to why Gnaw has always been so darn expensive, because it is such an ugly, almost obscure, character. Probably it is one of those toys that very few bought when it was released, and is now just harder to find than other toys from that era. When I started buy TFs online in the late 90s, I wanted to have a horde of Sharkticons (like the movie), but it took about 4 or 5 years just to acquire 3 at a reasonable price (under $100). I ended up giving up on that idea.
Hmm, maybe there were other fans out there who also wanted hordes of Sharkticons as well, leaving less for others to fight over...
