    What's funnier still is that Universe Hound commands higher prices on ebay than the more cartoon accurate Henkei! Might finally pick one up once UN/Generations ends with Rumble & Frenzy...Is Ravage the same in both releases?

    Fonecrusher: Ultimately I think if you collect toys because you want to enjoy them as opposed to trying to make a financial investment, then you can't lose as the aftermarket value of the toy would be irrelevant. For example I bought 2 Beast Wars X-9 Ravages for $22 each in 1999. Opened one, kept one sealed. About a year or so later I traded my sealed one for a bunch of loose G1 and G2 figures. The ludicrous prices that Ravage seems to go for these days amuses me, but I don't regret opening my first Ravage or trading off my 2nd one (I definitely got at least $22's worth of TFs in the deal, which is how much I paid for the toy - and I don't think Ravage had appreciated that much in 2000-01).

    I honestly don't know since my Henkei one is MOSC and I've never examined Ravage that closely.

    EDIT - "A redeco of Universe Ravage, Jaguar features the same plastic colors as his Universe counterpart, only his legs are a significantly darker metallic gray than the Hasbro version (so much so they almost look black in certain lights)" (from TFWiki)

    Hope that helps DD.

    And this is what I intend on doing from here on in (only with relevant characters)... the second one will eventually cover the cost of the both of them

    Buy three of them and I might even walk away with a profit at the end of it all.

    Yeah don't get me wrong, I'm not a collector for the financial side of things, a $30-40 profit for a figure like this really means very little in the bigger picture. I'm more just shocked how some figures that aren't well received upon their initial release, can go from proverbial shelf warmers to collector's items in a relatively small amount of time based on availibility.

    A MIB Jetfire should go for approx. $250 - $300 depending on the box condition. From memory, a seller at the Parra Fair had one for twice that price which is obviously far too pricey.

    Prices for Superion have come down slightly since the KO was released. It should be between $300 - $350. You might even be able to get all of the carded Classic releases for about the same price.

    I really should've checked there first, but honestly didn't even think that he'd still be available brand new like that.
    My bad.
    Thanks for the links though.
