So, about G1 Victory Black Shadow

Postby RAcast » Wed Nov 20, 2013 11:09 pm

Motto: "Can't stop, so what! That's how I like it!"
Weapon: Rocket Launcher
I was browsing ebay a few minutes ago and an auction was just about to end. At a glance I had thought it was Generations Sky Shadow/Black Shadow and clicked it for kicks to see how it'd end. Then I saw the price, and that it was Victory Black Shadow. It ended shortly after at $1200!

So, why is Victory Black Shadow so apparnetly rare? The only time I hear prices like those thrown around is with your typical grails, your G1 Fort Max (prior to the recent reissue), Victory Leo, etc.
Old fasioned games!
And new fashioned friends!
Come on everybody this is Ta-ble Flip!

It's Japan-only, 'nuff said. >:oP

I can't be certain but because they didn't really have a large presence in the Victory anime the toys, as a result, didn't sell and less were produced. Try looking for Blue Bacchus, his helicopter buddy.
The resident Rewind... well, half of one :lol:

- Jelze Bunnycat =:3

Looking for:
- TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him :()
- PotP Punch head
- TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one)
- CW Brake-Neck/UW Wildrider, CW Offroad
- TR Twinferno & Grotusque
- Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1
- Legacy Core Slug, Sludge & Snarl

Gotcha, makes sense. It's a bit of the "nobody wanted him at the time but now nobody can find him" syndrome.

What's weird, is that the Crossformers' ID numbers are out of order. Both fill the empty Destron slots in Masterforce, between Browning and Black Zarak. That should say something about their original plans for the toys.
