Looking on ebay, the ROTF 2-pack (red box version made in 2009 which we got here in 2010) looks to be harder to sell, as dealers are asking more than the DOTM (black box) re-release from 2011... which that one is selling for US$280-300.

The sole ROTF 2-pack that I could find that had sold, went for US$350... but since no others are selling at their higher BIN or minimum-bid amounts, it is hard to say what the current value is on the red box 2-pack. (because no one is lowering their price enough to find out how much people really are wanting to pay for it)

At the least, you'd probably get US$280 (the black box ebay price), so is a good profit margin on the $99 it was clearanced at here... but the value probably plateaued soon after the black box re-release came out (both were exclusive to Hasbro Asia, so have some completist value to western markets, but since they sent some of the red box to Australia, it is really just America and Europe that would pay that much now).

Yeah, I remember this set shelf warming here at Kmart too. Shelf warmed for a loooong time. As very nice as the changes are on Optimus Prime (not so much a fan of the redeco of Jetfire), I personally couldn't justify buying ROTF Leader Class Optimus Prime and Jetfire again -- although I did get DotM Jetwing Optimus Prime (which is a further retool of Buster OP) when it was on sale at Big W. That's another big shelfwarmer too. Phwoar.

I remember having to pay about the price in Australia of the two pack just to get Jetfire in the UK, and having to pay through the nose to get Buster Prime from a specialist dealer.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Australia might get screwed compared to the US, but it's like TF heaven compared to the UK.

I scored one of these in Melbourne March 2011, hunted through all the Kmarts trying to find one. Think it was via a tip of from someone here that I finally managed to get one.

Had to unbox it to get it home however.

For a while I thought this a the new Jetfire toy bundle with prime

the best and cheapest shelf warmer I got is the Ultimate Predaking from Target @ around $29, when the movie came out the price went up back to either $99 or $69
