Legit rare as in low production numbers or have faded into obscurity?

Botcon 2006 Megatron and Waspinator (400-500 units)
Transformers Universe European Mini-Con 8-pack (though four of them were finally released here)
Micron Legend Linkage set

Four? I thought only two made it here. You must direct me to these, good sir.

You are probably right. I think the cross-talk over this at Charticon left me confused.

Very possible. They keep releasing the same set of three (the Recon Team redeco) in Generations packaging every year with one new additional guy in the case (Ironclaw in 2012 and Airlift in 2013). Makes no sense to me, maybe next year we'll get four more new ones or 8-pack re-releases.

I'm gonna add that Road Fire to my list now.

I'm bargaining for Sonic Bomber.

Not sure if this stuff is rare but

1) JAFCON Black Convoy
2) Nucleon Quest Super Convoy
3) Botcon 2012 SG OP

My top 3 rarest would be:
(All are open and played with, obviously)

1) Botcon 2010 Spark AKA Pyro. He's NEVER for sale on Ebay. I had to buy it at 100$ shipped from an online store that was virtually closed!

2) Creator Primus. That repaint is perfect all over. Worth every cents of the 160$ shipped that I paid some years ago... especially now that he's worth 370$ shipped at the very least!

3) Energon Wing Saber. Very VERY hard to find, Energon Optimus Prime is NAKED without him. I found it for a real bargain at 60$ shipped, MISB! Just because it was the wrong name in the title of the auction!

By many of your definitions of rarity I am sitting on piles of money over here. Off the top of my head mine are:
-Botcon 06 (through 13) 100 percent complete. I am only missing 05 Ratchet to claim 05 and onward.
-Jafcon Black Convoy. He's less black than we've been led to believe.
-Botcon/OTFCC Sentinel Maximus.
I'm certain I have other rarities, these are the ones that jump out at me.

1. My custom Shockwave
2. My custom Ultra Magnus

1) Movie 1 Backtrack (Somewhat rare)
2) Cybretron Con Optimus (Only rare cause no one wanted to buy it, its still sitting in Universal's gift shop in Singapore)
3) DOTM Hasbro Soundwave

Somewhat rare I guess. :S
My favorite figures are mostly non-rare ones.

I was curious about what it was and I checked the gallery. So, okay, it's one of those Cybertron repaint. Very VERY nice motorbike. The robot mode... EEEEeewwwww..... Look like a bot who carry a motorbike on his shoulders! It's ridiculous. Maybe I'm spoiled by the way superior Prime Arcee and Animated Prowl & Oilslick.
Still, the bike mode IS worth a buy alone. Is it a scout or a deluxe? (Look like a scout to me)

gavinfuzzy wrote: 3) DOTM Hasbro Soundwave

Is it the REALLY rare and expensive deluxe, or the less rare but way superior Human Alliance? Personally, I would never buy the 90$ deluxe. That's why I bought the 50$ (shipped) HA version. Worth every penny.

gavinfuzzy wrote: My favorite figures are mostly non-rare ones.

Me too all the way. I love a TF that is nice looking in all modes but most importantly, FUN TO PLAY WITH. Meaning transforming back and forth and just going "pew! Pew! Pew!"

Hehe, yeah, I was JUST talking about how I've been trying to track down some of the Dairycon exclusives and how they never show up on ebay, then *poof*, yesterday it pops up in a search. I couldn't resist grabbing it.

by **Henry921** » Thu Dec 12, 2013 5:17 am

Having just started collecting in 2010, I think my selection might pale a bit in comparison, but...

1. BotCon 2012 Custom Class Shockwave/Longarm
2. BotCon 2009 Leozack
3. TFCC Heatwave

News Credits: 86 · by **Powered Convoy** » Thu Dec 12, 2013 8:23 am

1. Legends of Cybertron / Mega SCF Skywarp
2. Spacewarp with Comettor & Space Team
3. Tan Nose Universe Cyclonus & Nightstick

Note that I actually have 2 Mega SCF Skywarps. There are only 3 in existence (as far as I know), two of which only have the fists in purple (the other hands are in blue like Starscream) and 1 with all the hands in purple. I have 1 with blue hands and 1 with purple hands.

I also have Blue Henkei Bumblebee, gray & green parts Dark Scorponok, Autobot Henkei Black Convoy, and Energon Scorponok with test shot Dark Scorponok tail.

Plus things like Custom Class G2 Sideswipe, Animated Minerva, SG Longarm, tons of BotCon exclusives and Japanese show exclusives.
