FINALLY.

I searched long and hard (about 5 minutes) to find pain in .jpg form.

4. G1 Ultra Magnus. He is fantastic. I can't believe no one else mentioned him.

Yeah I want Magnus so bad. He looks like a great toy and I hope we get another reissue, so we can pay less for him again! Ironically, I'm like the only TF fan that does not have a version of the original Prime mold. Epically epic fail, I know. But he'll be released again and again until the end of time (I hope). G1 Megatron will be hard to find, considering he's a firearm and someone could use him to shoot someone (just what I heard). As for MP, you have no idea how damn lucky you are if you do in fact have all of those.

If you go on ebay and you are patient, you can find a complete Magnus pretty cheap. I never paid more than $40 for anything on ebay and I think I paid under $30 for a complete G1 Magnus that looks like he just came out of the box. Megatron is a re-issue. My brother bought him for me as a gift from toyarena. Prime will be re-issued again. Again, you can look on ebay and piece together a G1 Prime. Mine is pieced together and beat up, but he is a G1 Prime (I bought a re-issue for display purposes).

The MP's are tough to find cheap. Pre-order those when they come out, because that is probably the lowest price you are going to get. I could have waited on Skywarp, but I wasn't sure if the US was going to get him. So I paid more than I had to for him.

I am happy that I have a good job and can splurge on a toy here and there. Trust me, the MP's are the only "triple digit" TF's I own.

Best TF to find b4 you die?

A Prime with a working Matrix:)

BTW, Fortress Maximus? I thought the criteria were TF's that are available to everyone.

FM is available to everyone, they show up on eBay all the time.

Hmm...I'll have to check ebay more often. I saw one Magnus with 1 hour left till the bidding end and it was going for $4.95. The only thing he didn't have was his small fists.
Anyway, I don't want a real G1 Prime. A reissue of the mold will do. As for MP's, the only ones I'm really interested in are Prime, Magnus, and Megatron. I really reluctant to waste a ton of money on a toy, and I find it hard to believe that MP's are worth the price.

I know Fort Max is on Ebay all the time but a toy that can sell for a grand is not readily available to everyone. Readily available to me suggest affordable i.e. reasonably cheap.

Anyon who would spend a grand at a toy has a few questions to ask themselves. Believe me, I could easily afford it but there's no way I could justify it.

a] Nobody said anything about a price limit, and to be frank, if I were dying I wouldn't care about a grand.
b] Mine only cost £200, not excessively expensive for the biggest TF ever made.
