I've got a super mint G1 original Soundwave, but I'd love to get a MIB one too. So far, during my time as a seasoned hunter (Originally Posted by Hursticon
He certainly is and that's partly the reason why I brought him along to my first ever meet.[/SIZE]
) of vintage G1's, I've always felt Soundwave as being the only figure to never really fluctuate in price. Even the reissues feel like they stay at the same price. That's just me though...
Anyway, hopefully I'll see you in the Gen1 acquisitions sometime soon with Mr SW!
I've seen plenty of original G1 boxed Megsy's (decent ones) sell for around $150. There's enough going around for you to be able to bid on some auctions and find yourself a bargain eventually. I honestly think that if you do end up buying one from abroad, if you simply ask the seller to take megs out of the box and transform him into his pretty robot mode then you shouldn't have a problem getting it in. I got mine without a hitch, but then again the box and foam are so beat up and old, customs prob didn't want to open up the parcel and handle them, in case they turned into dustEven still, considering a decent MIB G1 Megatron costs in the region of $300+, that's one helluva gamble to try and bring it into a "plastic toy guns 'r' bad m'kay" country like Australia.If it's packaged in gun mode (which it obviously is if buying a MIB), how on earth would that get past customs x-ray machines? Are the Perth customs crew members of this forum?
