I'm trying to wrap my head around why you would insist on selling it at a case, I don't think any collectors are going to want to keep 72 unopened figures in a box just to claim its an circulated case...but maybe I'm wrong.

What the cheese? They would have a way easier time selling them as individuals or twin packs.

It's one of those "wishful thinking" scenarios.
The guy probably saw that episode of Pawn Stars with the $20k+ Transformers collection and the dollar signs spinning in his head took control over rational thought.
Someone was willing to pay $500 a figure though so he's still got at least $6k worth of product on his hands. If he wants to get rid of them soon he can but if he's waiting for that one hopeful willing to pay that kind of scratch for 12 mint triple changers then I wouldn't hold his breath.
Now 12 Fortress Maximus for $13k... That's another story.

Not a LEGEND in my mind.

IF I had the scratch, I'd seriously think about it(even at that price, but not before throwing him a couple other offers first).
Then again, I'd actually display it as the whole case like his picture. I'm a tad odd that way.

price seems a bit high, over a grand per each come on now. Its never a fan who finds stuff like this its always a business guy,if it was a fan im sure price per unit would be a few hundred not over a thousand.

I will not be bidding on that one.
I would try to go after one of each, should they decide to split that up.

If anyone has an extra Classics Cliffjumper, I would love to have it in my collection. Please PM me.

Definitely not the kind of auction for me, even if it was only for one. I'd be freeing him from his prison within seconds.

Me too. I generally don't keep anyone locked up in their box. I would only if I happened across a duplicate of one I have, for free, then I'd keep it boxed. But I had Blitzwing as a kid and I would crack him open immediately.
