Are any Beast Wars figures worth anything?

Postby Silverado Bot » Sun Oct 28, 2007 7:57 pm

I have a pretty large collection of BW figures in our storage shed and I'm wondering if any of them are worth anything. I know I have the first Optimus Primal and Megatron(both non Transmetals) maybe afew other older ones, and a whole bunch more Transmetals. It's too bad I don't have any G1 figures, I pretty much came into TF's when the BW show was still running

thanks!

As Counterpunch has said, BW toys are not really going for the high prices that some of the G1 and Movie toys are. MISB figures will always get a higher price than you paid for from store, but otherwise it's a luck dip in terms of want vs. availability.

The TM2 figures are almost always popular, and the Show cast usually attract more attention than the non show cast.

Some weapons and missiles may be worth more than the actual figures in some cases, but I am not sure.

If you have a good collection, you could make a few hundred dollars off it, but not more. BW toys don't command high prices, but they're fun to have. Do an advanced search on Ebay and check completed auctions to see going rates.

IMHO the ones that fetch good prices are the Primal toys, with Optimal Optimus and Primal Prime fetching top dollar. also the Japanese Beast Wars toys, like Big Convoy and Lio Convoy (original, not flash).
