Interesting, rare and sometimes cheap ebay items.

Isn't that Fort Max sword missing it's handle? How are you supposed to complete that?

I have noticed Botcon figures reaching an all time high despite the Economic Crisis:

Even this guy who is normally not too expensive has inflated:

hmm...I have a unique version of that laserbeak which has been confirmed to be genuine by Hasbro. I wonder how much it would go for since as far as I know its the only one in the world.

i didnt manage to sell my full botcon 2007 loose set when it was a set together in 2 auctions. when i separated them...i've managed to sell Thrust for $250 and Dreadwing for $200. That leaves me with Dirge, Thundercracker and Bugbite....

so i guess demand for any botcon figures is still there, just how much buyers are willing to pay.

This would have been a good price for a complete Fort Max if the exchange rate hadn't dropped from its peak in July.

These would rarely go below a grand in a complete, unbroken, non-yellowed condition.
A bit much now with the current exchange rate pushing that over AU$1200 now, but thought it worth mentioning in case anyone was currently desperate for a complete one.

Original complete Predaking with unused sticker sheets. USD349.

The yellowest Fort Max I have ever seen in my life. What did this guy do? Take a paintbrush to it...yeesh! Description lacks descriptiveness too...mostly of the parts missing.

Holy sh-t... thats like gone brown. And FFS seller, Fort max DOES NOT cost 50 AUD to ship. Costed me 25 Registered to ship it to digger from sydney to melbourne and thats was with about 800 grams of packing material. All these sellers trying to make profit on shipping FFS.

Wow the pic of the fort max standing next to the foam really highlights the damage. Maybe he tried to give it the "deep fry" effect by throwing it into a vat of hot oil.

On another topic, I'm sure many of you are aware of the how rare and highly collectable the g2 stunticons are, but I came across this;

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/G2-Transforme...1%7C240%3A1318

The 2 aerialbots are of course well known g2's, but that dead end is something I've never come across. I know it's not the unreleased g2 (that was was red I believe). Anyhow, probably a very rare KO of some sort. The seller also claims to have a pre g1 diaclone devastator, never seen one in those colours before either.

The Stunticon is a KO...I have a full set of these (minus Motormaster) that are going to be repainted into some garish custom one day.

I had 3 or 4 of those KO stunticons... but can't remember what I did with them...
